We had the holiday tea with champagne and it was terrific. It was however very heavy and while we normally can take quite a bit of lactose, we struggled in the end so be sure to have some lactose pills if you are slightly lactose intolerant just in case. Of course, they did ask if we had any dietary restrictions but we wanted to try it without any modifications so that’s on us. The ambience is amazing with live music playing from the balcony and the service was impeccable.

The Lobby is a restaurant located inside of the Hotel Peninsula. I strongly recommend it! Please try the The “Pen-edict” it’s a whole lobster tail, caviar, toasted croissant, truffle hollandaise, poached eggs, shaved truffle. It’s in a category all by itself! My husband had the spa breakfast. Atichat our server and great personality and service made our breakfast extra special.

This restaurant is stunning. A real treat for breakfast and lunch. I’ve enjoyed both and my pictures are from both meals.
The eggs benedict are freshly prepared with an excellent hollandaise sauce.
My favorite lunch is the tandoori chicken. I would definitely call this an Indian fusion interpretation rather than true tandoori chicken. But let’s skip authenticity, the dish is absolutely amazing!!!

I shared Christmas tea with my three sisters yesterday at the Peninsula. Very, very disappointed. We also went last year and I had hoped to make this an annual tradition.We had the four thirty seating. The bread on the finger sandwiches was so dried out, I have to believe they had been sitting out all day. The rest of the food didn’t really wow. At $200+ per person, I expected more. Needless to say, our tradition will have to continue elsewhere.

I the afternoon tea service here for an anniversary and it was very lovely. The interior space, the service, the teas, and the best of all are the tea cakes and finger sandwiches. You’ll be quite satisfied from the food. If you’re looking for a fancy tea service in the city this is a great one.

We ate breakfast daily at the Lobby during our last visit to Chicago. This restaurant is an extremely beautiful and special place to enjoy a meal, especially the weekend brunch buffet. We had a wonderful experience all around each occasion and couldn’t recommend the Lobby highly enough. This establishment is worth a visit for a meal or afternoon tea whether you’re staying at the Peninsula or just visiting.

It’s as expected. You are paying for the name, hence the price. It’s finger food and it’s delicious but not superior. Its simply good to eat here and enjoy the atmosphere. Theres not many afternoon tea places in chicago.
I treasure live music. It was lovely to hear the the musicians play nice renditions of popular songs.
There was one error on our tea, They forgot the chocolate paint tubes from our tea. Took awhile to get a waiter and almost 20minutes for them to bring them tubes, half painted.
We came to celebrate my Bachelorette with afternoon tea. The server brought out a congratulations dessert towards the end. It was yummy! Would we come back again? Absolutely. Its a fun thing to do a few times a year. The atmosphere was great. The food was great. I’ve heard there is holiday centered tea (halloween. Valentines, Christmas). You bet I’ll come back for that!

Went for afternoon holiday tea with my girlfriends on a Sunday 4:30 reservation. Leo was very friendly and attentive. We selected for 3 regular menu and a vegetarian option. I liked that there was a separate menu for the regular and a vegetarian. Leo checked if all the items on the menu were ok for us to consume. Thank you The Lobby for being inclusive about food allergies and dietary restrictions. When the food came, all vegetarian dish came on a separate tower so my friend was able to enjoy on her own. Here’s what’s included with $150 experience:
-tea (classic, herbal infusions, or premium Asian)
-glass of Tattinger Brut Champagne
-tea pastries: wreathe, gingerbread man, chestnut candle stick, red velvet Santa’s belt, and cranberry pate au choux. I’m not a big fan of gingerbread/peppermint “winter” season flavor type of person so personally, I didn’t like the pastries.
-savory: roasted beef sandwich, cucumber sandwich, organic egg sandwich, lobster & shrimp sandwich, and winter kale sundried tomato quiche. My favorite was the quiche.
-traditional and cranberry citrus scones. Typically I find scones dry and not so tasty but these were good.
I went for a 2nd time with a friend and a child (girl) on a Saturday for 2:30 reservation. The lighting was much brighter. There was Mr. and Mrs. Clause for free photography. It was magical. Ray was very attentive and professional.
$85 child’s menu included:
-sandwiches
-sweet treats
-hot chocolate
Sweet pastries were very aesthetically appealing. Servers were great. I would definitely recommend holiday tea for the experience.

The food is what one would expect being in one of the top 5 star hotels in the country.
We had the best avocado toast I have ever had as well as a lobster benedict with truffle shavings on a croissant that was out of this world. It was so lovely just to enjoy the decor, very art deco with chandeliers, high ceilings, silver sconces, beautiful pillars, marble and fresh giant flower bouquets.
