If you love classic fancy schmancy atmospheres, instagramming, cute chandeliers and a good grilled cheese sandwich you'll go nuts here.

Came here with a wonderful amazing lovely company from out of town. We were four happy human beings. From a previous experience, I had to come here physically and put my name 2 hours before our appointment at 1 pm. Waiting time is 2-3 hours. They don't accept reservations over the phone. You can still sit there and relax meanwhile. They have spacious waiting lounges with very comfy couches. You can lay down on so many couches waiting for your table. If you're non-Amish, you need to bring a fully charged cellphone, because we can't live 5 minutes these days without playing with those small shiny screens.

Atmosphere
Classic, red bricks, very high ceiling and gorgeous chandeliers. I have a personal crush on crystal beautiful chandeliers. Decoration and design here what make this place unique.

Food
Get the truffle grilled cheese!
My friends got 2 burgers and the truffle grilled cheese, those carnivores! They loved their burgers. I tried the Michigan trout dish. It was good. I just came from Hawaii a week ago. So don't take my word for any seafood until my palate comes back to normal.
Fries with garlic aioli were naughty and so tasty.

Money
$$$
For the atmosphere, I think it's reasonable. I mean a home made truffle grilled cheese would cost you a lot less. However, do you have 10 sexy chandeliers dangling their shiny crystal clear earrings at your home?

Service
For our visit, it was 4.999999 Stars! Our servers were so friendly and professional. Their recommendations were on point.

If you're in the Windy City and it's freezing outside, 3 Arts Club Cafe will keep you warm and cozy. They have nice napkins in the bathrooms.
