My girlfriend surprised me by making reservations at the chefs counter last night. I was really looking forward to a night out and some good food. We were seated as soon as we arrived. Unfortunately that was the best part of the evening at ORD. Where I was seated still had the dirty half filled coffee cup from those who sat there before us. After sitting at the counter for nearly 15 minutes our waiter came by and filled our water. He didn't ask if we wanted a drink or anything to start the evening, which we both did and then left again. After another five minutes he came back to ask if we wanted anything to drink other than our waters. My girlfriend ordered a cocktail and while I was looking through their cocktail menu to make my selection he vanished into the back again! I can honestly say I have never walked out of a restaurant due to poor service until last night. I don't think I will be returning to ORD anytime soon.
