Review of Nellcote and RM Champagne Salo...

My boyfriend and I decided to go to this restauran...

My boyfriend and I decided to go to this restaurant because it was listed as one of the most romantic restaurants in Chicago. We made a reservation and we re a bit late so I think they gave our table away. We ended up waiting 30 minutes for a table. The hostesses were very kind though and gave us a complimentary glass of champagne for the wait. My main concern is that this is dubbed one of the most romantic restaurants in Chicago and its just not. I felt that the pictures online were not an accurate portrayal of what the restaurant looks like. It was very dark inside, and on top of that the music was so loud we could barely talk. It almost feels a bit like a night club because they have the bass turned up. The restaurant is also quite small (and popular) which made it very crowded. There was no where to wait except the bar area, but that area had tables in it as well so you end up being uncomfortably close to couples trying to enjoy their meal. Overall the experience was fine and the food was good. I just wouldn t recommend it if you re looking for a romantic date spot.
