Park Grill opened its doors as the first official resident of Millennium Park on November 24, 2003. A destination dining experience, Park Grill offers contemporary American cuisine infused with complex seasonal ingredients and distinctive Chicago flavor. Park Grill was ranked in the Top 5 of "Top Newcomers" by Zagat's Chicago Restaurant Guide in 2004 and more recently named a "Favorite Restaurant" by Chicago Collection magazine in 2007. The 250-seat indoor restaurant features a comfortable, classic atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling views of the Park and provides live entertainment year round.
