The Hampton Social - Streeterville

the hampton social was a great experience, however there were definitely a few things that did throw off the night. first, our waiter was very kind and attentive, but he failed to mention that the water was going to cost money and would arrive in personal bottles. you can imagine our surprise when we open the bill and we see 3 bottles charged for $9 each..$27 just to stay hydrated. insane. he did mention there was tap water, but he was pushing for us to get the sparkling and still water..not sure what the difference between the two is but they're just water so i don't understand the unnecessary money grab. my reservation was for a birthday, and so our waiter mentioned how we could get a complimentary dessert. again, to our surprised, we were charged for the dessert. in the end we solved this issue and received the free dessert. aside from that, the food was pretty good. it was a little pricey for the portion and quality, but it yummy nonetheless. another thing, the music was too loud here. i could barely the person next to me, let alone the waiter. trust me, i know this review sounds bad, but if you are willing to splurge then go for it!! the vodka pasta and truffle fries were amazing!!!

The hostess was extremely rude and seemed stressed with her job. Walked in at 7:35pm on a Friday night. She states there will be a 45 minute wait or the bar is open. I make an online reservation on open tables for 7:45pm right there. She seemed annoyed and told me to check in at 7:45pm which was in 5 minutes so I sat down and waited 5 minutes to check in. I try to check in at 7:45pm and she doesn't respond or speak to me and leaves. She comes back at 7:50pm stating it'll still be a few minutes. She checks other people in and seat them all immediately. We finally get seated by 8pm upstairs where there are plenty of open tables. Luckily our waiter was amazing and we ordered as soon as we sat down. Food was amazing and came quickly. There's an automatic 18% tip added to bill. Will not come back to this location but the river north location I've been to plenty and they're all super kind.

The Bloody Mary was overpriced for such a plain drink garnished with one stalk of celery and NO other trimmings served in a small glass. Will never order it again! HS has a great ambience. My server was also great and attentive.

Great brunch menu with variety for all palates. The aesthetic is a vibe all by itself. The live music is nice too, depending on the artist.

My wife and I truly enjoyed our breakfast here. The vibe was right up our alley and the food and beverage selections did not disappoint. If you can get outdoor/upstairs seating, it makes the experience all the better.

You really can’t go wrong with anything, but for drinks, the espresso martini and Bloody Mary were excellent. For food, the fried chicken stack and the Denver scramble are incredible.

Everything was absolutely delicious — I highly recommend trying all of these dishes! The place is cozy, atmospheric, and not noisy at all, so you can really enjoy your meal and have a good conversation. The service was wonderful, and I also really liked their modern QR-code payment option — quick and simple. The only thing I’d mention is that the suggested tip options (7%, 5%, 3%) felt a bit too low, which doesn’t seem fair to the staff. Other than that, a fantastic experience!
