The Albert is a stylish restaurant that offers great food and service. The venue is upscale and well-maintained, creating a relaxing atmosphere for fine dining. The menu features delicious main dishes, including the highly praised lamb shank and ravioli, which many diners say is to die for. The food is described as amazing and creatively crafted, with highlights like the perfectly fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes and the best bacon some have ever had. The restaurant has live music that blends perfectly with the ambiance, creating a smooth background that diners can enjoy.
The service is described as "old school" and attentive, with the waitstaff providing personal attention and answering questions. One reviewer noted the superb service from Ryan, who took care of a large party, ensuring that everyone received their orders without delay. While some customers noted that the portions may not be as large as advertised, the overall experience is enjoyed by many. However, the restaurant has a unique billing practice that has caused confusion for some diners, as checks are divided into equal parts among guests, potentially leading to misunderstandings about costs.
The restaurant's beautiful space, combined with top-notch service and a fantastic ambiance, makes it a popular spot for visitors, especially for those bringing friends or family from out of town. With its combination of a stylish setting, delectable cuisine, and attentive service, The Albert remains a recommended dining destination in Chicago.
