Fine Dining Tour of Chicago Day Three: Hub51, NoMi Garden at the Park Hyatt and deca at The Ritz Carlton
Day Three was definitely the most well-rounded day. Instead of going out for lunch we did brunch at Hub51. The tasty (cheap) baked apple french toast was heavenly! Some of the fattest and most delicious french toast I've ever had. Their bacon was disappointing. Some kind of gooeyness on top of it and not crispy at all. Bummer! But the breakfast food was a nice change and I go out for breakfast; definitely a special treat.
We did drinks and cheese at the NoMi Garden at the Park Hyatt. The cheese was delicious and the drinks were thirst-quenching, but this place was all about the view. Gazing up at the luxurious apartment buildings with cute porches definitely makes one dream big.
We finished the day at deca Restaurant in the Ritz Carlton. The soothing fountain in the background definitely helps one relax and unwind after a long day. I had the short ribs with macaroni and cheese. The short ribs were so tender they melted in my mouth. I enjoyed the mac and cheese, but I prefer my cheesy noodles without bread crumbs.
Dessert was an apple tart with caramel ice cream. I must admit the ONLY disappointing part of this culinary tour were the desserts. I was left wanting by the dessert menus. None of my favorites were on any menus. Maybe this is a sign I need to expand my dessert horizons.
Such a delicious three days and such a treat to share them with my foodie mother.
