As I’ve mentioned in a few other posts, about two weeks ago my wife and I went to Chicago for a few days to celebrate our 14th anniversary.

About two weeks ago my wife and I went to Chicago to celebrate our 14th anniversary as many of you have read. We only stayed a few days, but in those few days we did a lot. On our final day, Sunday, we wanted to take it easy and simply enjoy some quiet time together. In looking for options we found out that the 
We ended up walking from our hotel ( which was only about five blocks from where we were staying) and made it to the restaurant just prior to our reserved time. When we arrived there was only one other family there having breakfast so we had the restaurant to ourselves.
The restaurant provides a modern urban feel and you get to relax in very comfortable surroundings while you watch the kitchen do their work ( as it offers an open floor concept). I was impressed to see the wide variety of food on the menu, from traditional items that you would think would be there to items that truly were unique.
For our meal my wife decided to order a more traditional breakfast while I ordered the lobster club ( partly because I love lobster and partly because of the unique nature of the menu item itself). We ended up having to wait a while for our food which was the only downside to the experience, but I will say that this offered my wife and I agreed opportunity to reconnect and talk about many different things which was nice as with kids you don’t always get this opportunity.
When our food did arrive both my wife and I were very pleased with not only how the food was presented, but once we started eating we were very impressed with the mixtures of flavors and the quality of the food that we received. I particularly enjoyed the lobster club. I waitress mentioned that many people order this item. I will make one caution with this sandwich though, and that is that the sandwich is a bit messy so be aware of this and know that you will need your napkin while you are eating.
Overall our brunch experience was very positive and I would return to the restaurant in the future to try some of their other Menu items and I encourage you too as well.
I come from a German family, or at least part of my family is. My grandmother on my father’s side and all of her relatives were German and I was growing up I had the opportunity to grow up with a love of great German food. Living where I do now unfortunately there is not a lot of German influence in the restaurants surrounding the city so needless to say we do not have many opportunities to be able to he had German restaurants very often.
About two weeks ago my wife and I went to Chicago to celebrate our 14th anniversary and as a part of this trip I wanted to be up to go and experience a restaurant that I had heard about but never tried. The 
In arriving at the restaurant we were greeted kindly and shown to our reserved table. The staff was friendly and it was busy for the night that we were there (as the server said most sites are). I noticed right away that the menu was not as extensive as the one you see walking into the restaurant, but you still have the opportunity to see some great looking items on the menu as well. One thing that I enjoyed seeing is that the menu provided to guests with a coded review of what you could order to have the true Berghoff experience.
Seeing that we were in Chicago for only a few days and that we would only visit this restaurant once, my wife and I wanted to experience the restaurant at its best. We ended up ordering the Alsatian Onion And Apple Soup to share and then each of us ordered Sauerbraten, both of which were listed as specialties.
The Sauerbraten followed and we were both amazed had the amount of food we received and how wonderful it tasted. Again the mix of sweet and sour made to meat taste amazing, and with a mix of vegetables and whipped potatoes that came with it, you definitely left the restaurant filled ( in a good way).
