| - This was the first time I'd been to Wrigley Mansion while it was open. I had a "private tour" by an employee once and got to see everything and it really is a great place.
Went for a birthday party and we had dinner. $5 for valet parking, which is really reasonable, I think. Especially in heels, cuz this girl ain't walkin' up them thar stairs.
We had a private dining room, about 25 or so of us. Wait staff did an awesome job dealing with such a huge party and handling our bill.
If it weren't for the food and price, I would have given this place 5 stars. I started with the leek tart, which was amazing and a great portion size for an appetizer.
Next, had the Tuna Nicoise salad. This is where they lose a star, and it wasn't just me voicing a problem with the size of the portion. There was definitely plenty of tuna on it, but as Erin said "You'd think they would have put more of the cheap stuff on it" meaning there wasn't a whole lot of salad. And the roasted potatoes that came with it? I had two cubes of HARD potatoes. They were barely cooked. The tuna was perfectly seared on the outside and still nicely red on the inside. If it weren't for that, I would have been horribly disappointed. $43 for an appetizer, a salad and a bottle of Pellegrino. (That included the gratuity added for such a large group).
Wrigley is all about the ambiance and view, and it surpasses what you could describe it to be. Seeing the city at night and being surrounded by cool peeps is what really made the place!
