Terzo Piano - Chicago

Many don't even realize this restaurant is in the Art Institute. A bit pricey, but worth it. Not recommended if you're in a hurry. This restaurant gives visitors an opportunity to relax, enjoy good food at a nice pace while surrounded by great views of the city.

Came here for valentines dinner fare. From my understanding Terzo typically only offers lunch. I had a great experience in general because it was a special day with my girlfriend, but I wouldn't do it again here. Come here for lunch and enjoy the museum. It was clear that the staff did not know how to work the busy dinner event. There were several times when incorrect items came to our table which was interruptive. Overall the food was good but not at the $300 price point (food and drinks). Grab a quick bite for lunch and call it a day.

A year ago from today, for the first time I visited such an amazing and obvious place in Illinois as Terzo Piano. My girlfriend and I were delighted with the food, wine and view! It was a big surprise for my birthday! The location is amazing, great interior, with huge windows and great views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago downtown skyline. We had octopus (one of their most famous dishes) and soup, both were lovely and just as tasty as they looked. We also took desserts very well balanced flavors. Today We ordered a pizza... I look forward to reopening!!

Went early on a Friday for lunch, so that we could head to the Warhol exhibit at the AIC before it closed. My companion noted how many of the Restaurant Week items had beans in them, so we ordered off the usual menu. I had the Crispy Brussel Sprouts $13 which had to have been shaved on a machine, they were so thinly sliced. I loved the char and the cheese, and it was a huge portion, although it was a bit salty for me. To counter that, I had the Debbie Harry, $10+ a crazy Warhol-inspired dessert that was a chocolate malt not sweet enough! topped with banana-flavored cotton candy, with a side of fries. I'd already reached my sodium limit, so I gave the fries to my friend, along with the chipotle mayo that came to dip my sprouts in.

There's no way this restaurant received star from Michelin. Not even guide. Soup was just ok, spaghetti Neri was a disaster. It was fishy, and even spaghetti itself wasnt cooked right. One of the worst dish I had. Well it's a museum restaurant. But really, don't dine
