    Nicely varied brunch menu, with standard and more unusual options. There were only a few diners, so it was quiet and conducive to conversation. Our server was relatively new and had to be reminded of some things, but she and the host were pleasant and accommodating. Beautiful decor and ambiance. We would certainly return here for brunch.

    Dined at Grille on 21 while staying at the LaSalle Chicago. An absolutely perfect meal from start to finish. The wedge salad chopped to the cooked perfectly filet complimented by the delicious Mac n cheese and potatoes purée was everything I had hoped for. The waiter went above and beyond with genuine conversation and even a cocktail compliments of him. I will be back to the beautiful LaSalle and Grill on 21, without a doubt!

    My daughter and I had dinner at Grill on 21 on September 8th. We absolutely loved our dining experience.  The decor was elegant and in keeping with the original design of the building. There was live music (piano and singing) playing in the background. The wait staff was very attentive and the chef even checked in on us a few times. We enjoyed the Shellfish Cocktail, Burrata, Steak Frites (the park was an truffle fries were delicious) and the Westholme Wagyu Coulotte with mushrooms and micro greens. Everything was perfect. The cocktail menu was very interesting, we tried several and would love to go back and try more. Overall 10/10 for us.

    Fantastic little restaurant, but the dining room itself is tiny. The bar and lounge - which serves as the lobby for the LaSalle Hotel, too (interesting, since on the 21st floor), was really cool. Service was great and the food was wonderful. Great bourbon selection and the bartender made one (OK, maybe three) of the best Old Fashioneds that I've had. Highly recommend.

    The dinner was great. Reasonable valet parking. The best thing though, was the music after dinner, provided by Edgar Gabriel and Fred Simon.
