Trying to be all things to all people, you end up with high end but non-memorable food. If you get a table where you can see the park, fine -- but you pay for the view whether you get it or not. On the other hand, you're in downtown Chicago and the other choices aren't any better.

Has the Doubletree found the right formula for its frequently changing restaurant space? Now more a place to eat than to dine, with the same formula as in its freestanding locations, it's comparable to Loop and Streeterville locations, not as good as Glencoe.

Northbrook Court needed this revival of an old name under new management, and management was in tune enough with the trendline to put the focus on the menu instead of on the salad bar.

Brunch menu outperforms lunch menu (both available whenever) and street parking requires feeding Chicago's ever-costlier meters, but still a keeper.
