Bidrage med feedbackWent for Devour and we weren't sure what to expect since we had heard mixed reviews on how the service was, however, I'm so glad we went!Everyone went above and beyond to be friendly towards us and make us feel welcomed even though we weren't members. Stepping in the door we were immediately greeted and directed a podium by the door we would be entering to be seated. We were then greeted again and shown to our seats at a table adorned with a white table cloth. The room was old world classic. We then were immediately greeted by our waitress and gave our drink order. I didn't see a Sangria on the menu, but when the waitress went to put in the drink order for my husband she found one of her coworkers was able to make me a red sangria. All of the staff knew we were there for Devour, yet they treated us as special as those who were members. I got the corn chowder which was yummy, the crab stuffed Walleye and for dessert had the Nutella donut dish they created. The donuts were light and delicate! Even the man serving us drink and water refills was great! For those of you who have only seen bad reviews, I hope you'll set those opinions aside and try for yourself as we did because you'll be pleasantly surprised.
We decided to spend the night here for our 55th anniversary. We were given a nice room overlooking Christ Church that reminded us of a New Year's Eve we spent here decades ago. The room wasn't huge but that was typical of the era when this club was built. Robes are a nice addition and the bathroom is a good size with a walk in shower. As other reviews have mentioned, don't expect a Hilton or JW. Do expect personality!Dinner was lovely. I started with crab cakes (good but not hot enough temp) followed by Lamb Loins with Dauphinoise potatoes and brown butter broccolini.. the Lamb is heavenly, the potatoes are lovely and the broccolini is also very good.RRR had the Caesar salad, good but needs more lemon for him. He also had the Dover sole, prepared table side by out outstanding wait s to add, Stephen. Very good but very buttery. His asparagus was wonderful, potatoes also good.Speaking of Stephen, he made a good experience great, worth his weight in gold.
I was supposed to stay here the end of June on a 90 degree day. The lobby and common areas were not air conditioned as I entered the hotel but I had hopes that my room would be. I got to my room and the window was open with tape and a random plastic vent which was just bringing in outside air. The air conditioner didn't work so i went back to the front lobby and they initially said to just wait in my room for an engineer to come fix it. (Which was a form of torture since it was 90 degrees and humid) So i went back down to the lobby and they proceeded to put me into another room where the air conditioning didn't work. It was pretty clear they don't have functioning air conditioning or at least a system that can compete with 90 degree weather. So i asked for a refund i was very polite and just said that They can give me a refund or i can submit a case with my credit card company since i have pictures (but if I have to submit a case with my credit card company I will give bad reviews. So i left it up to them). They said sorry we won't give you a refund. So here is my promised bad review .

A favorite for downtown lunch meetings. Brian, Molly, Corey, and the rest of the team get it they set the bar on client experiences. If you get a chance be sure to check out the Platinum Lounge on the 5th Floor. We host a monthly event in this space and Corey has been a fabulous bartender each month. The view of the circle from the Lounge is excellent. Outdoor patio is open during the summer. Where is the 6 star rating because this Club deserves more than 5.
