    This place is just awful. My friend was visiting Chicago from out of town and we wanted to go out for a special dinner. This place had good reviews so we decided to check it out. We ordered three courses and they were all terrible. We ate about two bites of each course and the wait staff never once asked us if there was a problem. We were angry we'd spent so much money at a place we left hungry. Honestly, getting a drive thru burger would have been more satisfying. Avoid this place at all costs.

    676 has the best Flatbreads- like gourmet pizzettes. The bar is top notch, they even had Hendricks Gin which is hard to find. The Bartender- Ben, is very handsome and quite knowledgable with respect to wines/Liquors. Loved it! Perfect if you are in Chicago on business and looking to meet other friendly business travelers.

    Wines: The international wine list was created to enhance the eclectic cuisine. The wines not only create culinary synergy with a range of menu choices but also stand on their own as examples of inspired winemaking. Design: Designer Curtis Schnell has fashioned a modern brasserie look and feel and a high-energy lounge. The diner’s experience is all about color, texture and dimension with art deco accoutrements. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows overlook bustling Michigan Avenue. Tables are elegantly set with Hepp stainless steel flatware and table-top pieces, Cardinal Vigne glassware and Steelite International china. Dining room chairs have been crafted from off-white suede and blonde wood with tall comfortable backs. A 50-foot long wood bar takes center stage in the lounge, which also features wheat-colored couches and rich blue suede chairs.
