The team that brought you the Noé Restaurant in L.A. and Houston are at it again. The new 676 Restaurant and Bar at the Omni Chicago Hotel is one of the Magnificent Mile’s hippest hangouts.
Film set designer Curtis Schnell filled 676 with bright colors and fancy decor, including a stained glass tree branch that runs through the lounge area. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Michigan Avenue four stories below, and the night sky view from the dining room is truly amazing – especially at lunchtime – thanks to the moonscape mural on the ceiling.
But it’s not all about the ritzy sights, shiny lamps and blue suede chairs. This is, after all, a place to eat. Executive Chef Daven Wardynski creates an excellent selection of “comfort food with attitude.” You’ll find everything from grown up macaroni and cheese to steak and potatoes with flair. 676 is open for breakfast, lunch and of course, dinner.
