I was looking for Alfresco or Side Walk dining options in downtown Chicago area and found this place. Went there around 5pm on a lovely sunny Saturday evening. The place was full but within few minutes I was seated in outdoor side walk area. I ordered Hummus Plate and mimosa for starters and Pesto Pasta for entree. Staff was very attentive and polite and this reflected the high standard of hospitality at Peninsula Hotel. Great place to visit if you in the area during summer time.
