Description

Location, location, location -- it's what sets Park Grill apart from all the other upscale comfort-food restaurants in town. Set in the middle of Millennium Park, the city's newest showpiece along Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street, Park Grill makes a great stop after a late-afternoon stroll or before a summer concert at the Pritzker Music Pavilion (but since this is a popular preshow dinner spot, definitely make a reservation). The dining room itself is simple but welcoming, with floor-to-ceiling windows along one wall that look out onto the Michigan Avenue skyline (you won't, alas, get a view of the park). The menu highlights American favorites, some prepared simply (pot roast, rotisserie chicken, pork chops), others featuring a more international twist, such as seafood risotto or duck gnocchi. For lighter appetites, there are a number of salads and some thin-crust pizzas. Lunch selections include a good mix of sandwiches -- everything from Cajun chicken breast and barbecue beef to a smoked-salmon club and BLT with truffle mayonnaise. There's also a kids' menu.
