Description
Rather late in the morning on our first full day in Chicago we went downstairs to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. By the time we got there they weren't serving, but someone on the hotel staff was kind enough to recommend a place a couple blocks down.
We strolled down Washington toward the lake, found the restaurant, and enjoyed some excellent food for a really good price. As a matter of fact, we liked it so much we went back the next day.
The restaurant had seating inside in a cafe environment, but they also had seating "outside" in the lobby of the building. The lobby's ground floor was quite tall -- probably double height. Above that were four mezzanine levels. Above that was the ceiling, from which this huge chandelier hung.
This was the view from our breakfast table.
My, oh my. I DO love Chicago!

Nice perspective. :)
Sweet shot and great narrative What about Washington? I thought you loved it
WOW! Great shot--love this warm color--
What a view! And beautiful lighting to go with it...great capture!
Great POV!
******* WOW! ******** Breakfast is my favorite meal, I think.... So much so that I often have two breakfasts... My inner hobbit coming out, I suppose. I would probably have 3 or 4 if I got to enjoy a view like this while breakfasting! A super shot, Tara!
I would hate to hang that light there. or clean it . anyway this is wonderful pov
As my grandmother would have said, "Dot's some chan da leeah!" Maintenance must be a bi...really difficult. Nice place and an excellent capture. I hope you thanked that hotel person.
WOW! I've since been past that building 3 times...once while moving dental equipment into the building with the really, dangerously cute security guy with the adorable Bosnian accent. I learned his name! YAY! He's nowhere near approaching Victor territory, but hey, a little eye-candy never hurt anyone. He's not the security guy in this building, however. Oh well. I love this POV...you really captured the height, the light, the color, the tallness, the mood...everything, and I suspect Corey and I are gonna have to go there for breakfast, and THEN Reza's for lunch or an early dinner, and then to the Cheesecake Factory for key lime cheesecake. You inspire me to actually like Chicago again, but then I've always believed that a city isn't actually a place so much as it's lots of buildings standing around the people you like. This is a brilliant shot!
I'll not soon forget this neat place. It is one of those rare places where you can be outside inside...know what I mean;-) Super shot in some very unusual lighting conditions.
superb place
Splendid capture & place.
What a find - always fun when you do! Clive
fantastic p.o.v. !
Gob-smacking! (if you'll pardon the vernacular) Your photo and words transport me there.
Nice shot and a super chandelier.
It is very huge. Nice shot. Aloha
Great POV, looks a bit like an opera house, Tara.
How pretty Tara! The chandelier reminds me of "The Phantom of the Opera". Great "view" for a nice brekkie!
It looks a grand Opera House, that's for sure! No wonder you went back for seconds! lol Now, I see no-one else has asked the obvious, but I am me, and I'll ask lol ;-) "Rather late in the morning on our first full day in Chicago we went downstairs to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. By the time we got there they weren't serving".. So WHY were you down 'late' then.... Tee Hee! Your secret is safe guys.. off you go.. lol Great shot Tara!!! Rob
No wonder you love Chicago, Tara. It is so beautiful. And so is this shot :-)
Wonderful POV of this beautiful chandelier!!! Great place to eat!
