About Cherry Circle Room

Cherry Circle Room at the Chicago Athletic Association hotel offers fresh, flavorful brunch in an intimate, calm atmosphere with distinctive James Turrell-esque ceiling lighting. The staff is attentive, offering complimentary treats for special occasions. The breakfast menu provides tasty dishes like the well-executed Van Doozer, fresh salads, and good seasoning, alongside quality coffee. The venue is beautiful and vintage, with an elegant, cozy vibe perfect for an intimate date night. Cocktails like the gin-based Venetian Gothic with saffron and citrus notes are amazing, though some drinks can be strong. The food is delicious, with hints of complexity in traditional dishes like homestyle mashed potatoes with wasabi or crispy pork belly with bao. Service is efficient, and the experience feels exclusive without needing membership. The main entrance can be tricky to find, located through the Game Room at the back. A solid, satisfying dining experience.
