Everything about this restaurant was perfect! The staff was very kind and welcoming to us from the moment we walked in. On our reservation we indicated that we were celebrating my college graduation and they pulled out all the stops! They gave my husband and I both prosecco and a slice of olive oil cake on the house. That doesn’t even begin to describe how delicious the food and our other drinks were. Everything about our night was amazing and that is a large part due to the phenomenal staff of the Albert.

Great place for a quick drink or a full meal! Came on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and our server Sam was fantastic! Great service and I was impressed by his poise carrying such large trays of food & drinks!! There was a nice lil jazz band playing too!
Crudo was our favorite, surprisingly spicey but very tastey & presentation was great! Risotto & pastas were fantastic as well. The Vesuvius cocktail was so fun & tastey to release the smoke!
They had a menu of crostinis that come with the martinis!! I thought it was a garnish sized one but it was a whole snack! Great!

I wasn’t particularly impressed with the menu. We visited on New Year’s Eve, and while it was fine overall, it didn’t have the romantic, lounge-style vibe I was hoping for.
The food was good, but nothing stood out as exceptional. That said, the aesthetics were a highlight—the contrast between the bar area and the elevated bookshelves was really nice. It’s a solid dinner spot, just not quite the atmosphere I was looking for on New Year’s Eve.

Best sea bass that I’ve ever had. Beautiful chicken, cooked perfectly as well. We loved the cheese sauce with the asparagus. The music was perfect, lovely atmosphere but still quiet enough that we could have a conversation. It was not crowded, but probably because we had an early ish reservation. I would definitely come back here again.
And I loved the bookshelves too.

Their new Brunchissimo is delightful! A refreshing new concept with coastal Italian brunch. Loved the carts that come earlier with bruschetta and salads to choose from. The egg sandwich was out of this world as were the golden eggs. Had to get their pizza and that pistachio dessert. Cocktails are fab! Strawberry one was my fav. @chicagopescetarian

We first came to The Albert about two years ago and absolutely loved it. The food back then was creative, unexpected flavor combinations that somehow worked beautifully. We raved about it to friends and fellow travelers as one of our favorite spots in Chicago.
This time around, it was almost unrecognizable. The dishes tasted generic, like they came straight from Sysco or restaurant depot. What once felt inspired and elevated now feels mass produced and forgettable. Service was fine, but the food just wasn’t it.
Maybe it was a bad night, but unfortunately we won’t be coming back.

I can confidently say that dining at The Albert was one of the best meals and service of my life. From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable — a perfect blend of thoughtful service and exceptional food.
The standout moment? My waiter curated the entire meal for me, carefully selecting each dish to complement the next. Every recommendation hit the mark. I started with the ahi tuna, followed by tender asparagus, flavorful chicken, and perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts. Each dish was beautifully prepared and balanced — both in flavor and presentation.
The service was not only attentive but impressively intuitive. It felt less like ordering off a menu and more like being guided through a personalized culinary journey. Huge thank you to Steve.
The Albert is, without question, a must-try for anyone in Chicago looking for a dining experience that’s both elevated and welcoming. I’ll be back — and bringing friends.

We stayed at EMC2 the 8th and 9th of September 2025. Everything about the hotel was wonderful. After a travel day we decided to try the Albert located in the hotel. Great choice. We had 2 breakfast and 2 dinner meals. Breakfast was good, no complaints. Dinner was fantastic. Between my wife and I we had 4 different dishes. The four cheese ravioli, lamb shank, sea bass and cioppino. All were cooked perfectly. Delicious. We also ordered split an order of the fonduta and asparagus. I highly recommend these as well. Special thank you to our server Kseniya. Professional, friendly and very timely. Also helped with making suggestions. Very good experience. Thank you

We had a amazing time on New Year’s eve. Everything was top notch – the food, service, ambience. The highlight was meeting chef Chiappetti. He was kind and generous taking the time to talk to you. He even brought up his signature olive oil cake to try. And it was delicious!
I am very sad that it was the first and last time we saw him as he unexpectedly passed away a day later. Such a tremendous loss!
We will be going to the Albert for Valentine’s day and will raise a glass to the chef.
