    DINING
    Zest - The only street-level restaurant along North Michigan Ave, Zest makes the most of its location with floor-to-ceiling windows that illuminate its airy decor. The menu blends Spanish, Portuguese, and Moroccan influences in dishes such as lamb chops with couscous, seared scallops, and herb-crusted ribeye steak. Out-of-the-ordinary breakfasts include stuffed French toast with lemon curd and cream, and a sweet risotto. Fancy sandwiches and salads are the lunch fare.

    The Living Room - This mezzanine-level lounge is ideal for relaxing in comfortable armchairs, watching the activity on the street outside or in the lobby below, and sampling the English high tea served every afternoon. In the evening, it’s a good spot to enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine.

    Six Continents Bar and Salon - Martinis are the specialty at this warm, dimly lit space across from the Living Room lounge. Live jazz performances are featured most weekends.
