flying umbrellas - oh my!

if you’ve ever walked by the art institute of chicago on michigan ave., then you’ve most likely seen bennigan’s sprawling sidwalk patio located just across the street – a primo spot, IMO, being on michigan ave. w/an excellent view of the beautiful art institute.

having passed by bennigan’s countless times – watching diners chat, people watch, all the while enjoying their food, i decided it was time i tried it out too.

i went for lunch on a super windy day, and stubbornly insisted on eating outside – i got my fair share of flying table umbrellas and leaves in my hair. sadly, the food (mediocre) & service (friendly, but so slow) didn’t make it worth all the trouble, but i did enjoy the people watching and view of the art institute.

this place is just a few blocks from where i live, so i’ll probably be back. and when i do, i’ll aim for days when they have lunch specials – they’re a deal!

Dishes I tried:

FRENCH DIP

the usual roast beef & cheese duo w/a side of juicy beef dip. can’t say it was spectacular, but it gets the job done. the fries, dare i say, i may have enjoyed more than the sandwich itself.

MONTE CRISTO

oily goodness, there is nothing light about this sandwich work of art. heavily battered, heavily deep-fried, and…as you might guess w/all the oil, melts in your mouth!
