Absolutely wonderful experience at Somerset. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The peri peri chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, full of flavor without being overwhelming, and the whole pan-seared branzino was fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared. What really elevated the evening was our server, Irina. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, making us feel genuinely welcome and well taken care of throughout the meal. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and lovely service — Somerset is a place we’ll happily return to and recommend.

First, let me begin by apologizing for taking a long time to write this review. I held my engagement dinner at Somerset and it could not have been a better experience. The food, the environment, the service all were top notch. Planning this surprise dinner was an easy experience and I had Dulce (Catering Sales Manager) to thank for this. Her prompt communication and accommodation made this possible. I also have Randy (Director of Banquets) to thank for a lot of the help. The night was magical thanks to their team. I can’t recommend the Somerset and Viceroy hotel more for your special occasion. It was a night my fiancé and I won’t forget.

The servers were so nice and helpful! Our server, Jose was so polite and even took something off the bill when he forgot it even though he did bring it. The decor was nice and food was good. Jose gave us many recommendations as well. It was a good experience.

Great breakfast here on the Viceroy breakfast voucher. A lot of great custom options (not buffet or continental) which I appreciate and honestly the BEST hotel coffee I’ve had in the USA.

New to the city and Somerset was my first dinner in the city. It was great but everything is a la cart.
I moved away from Chicago and coming back for a visit, I was looking forward to going to Somerset. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has greatly decreased. The omelette was dry.  None of the food was particularly remarkable like it used to be. With regard to positive: coffee was good and the cinnamon roll was great.

Stayed at the Viceroy, the restaurant’s hotel and it’s a Michelin key hotel so I had high expectations for this restaurant and was excited to try it. Unfortunately the restaurant is very subpar. The entrees are bland. Peri peri chicken was rubbery. Truffle mashed potatoes are from a box. Charred broccolini was burnt to a black crisp to where it crumbled in your hands. Even Applebee’s peels fresh potatoes every morning for their menu items I don’t understand why this restaurant doesn’t. Service was lacking, I had to wave the waitress down for everything and she only had 2 other tables. She never offered to replace the broccolini when we complained, just told us “it comes this way.” When we asked for a replacement I had to flag her down for the new plate of broccolini and it didn’t arrive until after we had ate our dinner entrees. If we weren’t rushing to see the light show at the Chicago Botanic Garden then I would have complained on the spot about our food and the service. We were supposed to eat breakfast there but were too scared to try it after our dinner experience. Wasted $285+

Another Amazing evening for the Spirited Series in Somerset. It was the last one for 2025 and it did not disappoint!! The menu and drinks that were paired were exceptional!! A Huge Shout Out to Chef Magda for her innovative approach to the menu along with Chef Dave and of course their Director of Beverage, Chi, as always, she knocked out of the park with her selections. If you have not had the opportunity to attend one of these dinners, you are missing out. So looking forward to their series for 2026!!!
