Level Two Restaurant

Great atmosphere and location. Friendly waitstaff.The location:This restaurant/lounge is located on the second floor - per its namesake. ;)I made the mistake of trying to enter on St Clair St, but you should enter on Erie under the Hyatt Centric sign.When you enter the lobby on Erie street, you take the elevator to the second floor and turn left. You will see some seating areas and a bar. The tables have a QR code so you can view the menu.The staff: The staff members I interacted with seemed happy and focused on doing their job well. The food:Crispy Baby Furikake Calamari with Plum Sauce:I enjoyed this dish. I love calamari and plum sauce which adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the salty calamari. PizzaI had a slice of the cheese pizza which was good. The cheese on it was flavorful, and the crust was not too thick or too thin. Was it my favorite pizza ever? No- but my favorite is traditional style from Naples. For a chicago pizza, I would eat this again.The other two options were veggie or pork, sausage, bacon and pepperoni.Short rib quesadilla with sides of salsa, crema, cilantro, and limeThis was my favorite! The short rib was flavorful but then adding the toppings made this absolutely delicious. I would come back just for this.Dessert:Puff pastry with chocolate, caramel filled chocolate, cheesecake on shortbread, and fresh berries.This was good. I wish I had tasted the mousse on shortbread as well, because I love mousse, but the cheesecake was fine. The puff pastry was my favoriteDrink:I asked for a nonalcoholic drink and the bartender offered a ginger and lime. This was great. I love ginger, and the lime made it feel like a mocktail. Not too sweet either :)

Unfortunately I can't recommend this restaurant based on the one thing I ordered. My wife and I ordered tiramisu at the bar and it was the worst dessert I've ever had. It was a plate of hard cookies covered in a super sweet mousse that was vaguely chocolate-y. With a chocolate cream sauce on top. In what world is that tiramisu?The two stars are for the service which was actually great. So 5 star service and -1 star food.

As everywhere was closed already on Christmas dinner time, we decided to just dine in the hotel restaurant. We were asked to wait a little before getting seated and it took more wait time before our orders were taken. The food arrived not long after. I got the bolognese (pasta; i don't remember what it's called exactly) while my husband got the Mediterranean chicken meal (not sure again what it's called exactly) but we ended up switching because he did not like his order. Well, the chicken was fine when you dip it in the sauce but the rice and bread were bitter. The pasta was good though that I ended up eating half of it too. The service was slow. Maybe because it was a packed evening. Our coffees were forgotten until the very end.

Ok - YUM. Level two has moved up to "level one" for me! From deep dish pizza (you know, the kind that you *must* use a fork and knife with), to the fresh hummus and crispy lettuce and bell pepper bites, TO THE MACARONS! Level Two catered a Yelp event and my experience was a genuine 10/10. A polite, efficient bartender handled the volume of the crowd, the manager was prompt at greeting guests, elaborated on descriptions of the food being catered, and at one point when I was lost, help me find my way. This beautifully designed hot happy hour spot is should be on your list of hidden happy hour destinations. Do yourself a favor and add it *number one* to your list :)

This restaurant/bar was in our hotel, so we stopped by a couple times during our stay.On our first night, we visited the bar for drinks and dessert. I got the pomegranate martini (New Amsterdam vodka, pama, fresh fruit juices) - it was fruity as promised, not too sweet. A good refreshing drink. We also got their creme brulee - this one was a little disappointing. The caramarlization was good and crispy. But the custard was wayyy too runny. I would have liked more consistency in the custard. I did like the strawberry slices and blackberry and mint leaf on top! And it was the perfect size for two!We also visited for breakfast, especially since the hotel gave us $30 off. We got the breakfast buffet for $27 per person. This includes traditional breakfast (sausage, egg, potato), fresh seasonal fruits, pastry, coffee and juice, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal with variety of toppings, granola. It's a lot of choices! But the food was okay. I got scrambled eggs, French toast, bacon, potatoes, a piece of quiche, lots of fruit, yogurt, pastry, grapefruit juice. I think it's worth it if you've got a decent appetite!

The Level Two Restaurant is located on the second floor inside the Hyatt Centric Magnificent Mile hotel.My first visit, I ordered the guacamole and chips, plus a pint of a local craft brew. Followed by a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. The salad was way overdressed, the grilled shrimp were cooked properly and were very tasty.My second visit, was for breakfast in the morning, I ordered an omelette, with a side of bacon a glass of V8 juice and a cup of coffee. The omelette was well constructed and tasty.Total bill? $40 and change. $5.00 for a small single cup of coffee. $5.50 for a glass of V8 juice.Service was good. But way expensive to eat breakfast here.#LevelTwoRestaurant

Plentiful seating that are rather comfy Lots of tables with admirable view of the TVMusic is a bit loud but no more so than any other barService was good...prompt, accurate, chipper.The fries were both flavorless and soggy and the mega salt they applied helped neither, although seeing parmigan cheese fries on the menu should have clues me in that the fries couldn't stand on their own two feet. I was groused by lack of charging outlets.

My friends were staying at the Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile and in that hotel, Level Two is their hotel bar and restaurant. This may come as a shock, but you need to head to the second floor of the hotel for this spot. When we went, there weren't many people there and service was a bit slow. My friend's Old Fashioned took about 20 minutes to make. We were so confused what was taking so long. The others all had beer so that came out a bit quicker. Prices are what you'd expect at a hotel bar. Atmosphere....feels like a hotel bar. Ha!While there we ordered some fries to munch on and they were alright. But then...we also ordered their flourless chocolate cake for $7 and it was divine! We shared it between three of us and it was just the right amount, so rich and delicious! Def get this if you have a sweet tooth.Level Two is by no means a destination spot but if you're staying in the hotel, it's not a bad place to pop in for a drink or three.

One of my favorite Sunday brunch spots downtown Chicago. I love their Eggs Benedict - poached eggs over crab and buttered toasted English muffin, topped with Hollandaise sauce. They also make very good Blood Marys with a great combination of spices. Brunch starts at 11:30am goes to 2pm.

Got this as a Groupon originally which said "Brunch for Two" so I planned on using it for a morning we were in the city. The restaurant is located inside of the Hyatt. We saw on the Groupon that it said make reservations- I was unsure why though, because when we arrived there was plenty of places to sit. The waitress informed us that they discontinued their brunch menu but they would stiil honor the amount it was worth. I wasn't really planning for lunch and nothing really sounded appeasing to me. My boyfriend knew he wanted a burger right away, along with the truffle fries. I chose the burger also, just because everything seemed too "extra" for me. I always look up places before I go and I really had my eyes set on chicken and waffles. Major disappointment. I did however get the salad, which was pretty good. Mimosas were just okay (Would had paired better with brunch). Overall fancy place, pretty good service. Burger was very overpriced and fries weren't anything special in my opinion. The view was nice, but I probably wouldn't come out of my way to come eat here again.
