What/Why:
Step out of the chill and into The Signature Room's welcoming dining room to experience a gourmet menu at a budget-pleasing price high above the city this winter.  The Chef's Lunch Special, a gourmet, three-course menu which features a soup or salad, choice of entrée and dessert for just $20, will be served weekdays from Monday, January 9 through Wednesday, February 29, 2012.

A wonderful variety of fresh menu selections will be offered daily. Consider some of these tantalizing options:

For first course starters, options may include a Parsnip-Lavender Soup with Vanilla; a Smoked Haddock Chowder; Beet and Vanilla Vodka Cured Salmon with Local Greens, Blueberry, and Creamsicle Vinaigrette; or a Dietzler Farms Skirt Steak Salad with Grilled Onion, Pumpernickel-Orange Croutons, Arugula, and Bacon-Blue Cheese.  

Entrées may include a Leg of Lamb Sandwich with Garlic-Peppercorn Gouda, a Pickled Green Tomato, with Tapanade on a Sundried Tomato Focaccia; Rushing Rivers Trout with Chorizo, Fig, and Chestnut Gnocchi; or a Croque Madame with Butterkase, Pancetta, Espelette Bechamel, Brioche and a Farm Egg.

For a sweet ending to the lunch, choose a house made dessert.  Selections may include a White and Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake with Kumquat Puree and Cocoa Nib Tuile; or the Classic Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Raisin Jam.

The $20, 3-course Chef's Lunch Special will be served Mondays through Fridays during the regular lunch hours of 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. in lieu of the Lunch Buffet.

I'm interested, and free for lunch most weekdays.

I'm in! Kenny - this Wednesday?

1/16/2012 Kenny "likes to eat Ph" O. says:

Linda D! This is the only Wednesday I can't make lunch! :( But I'll see you at the Elite event that night!

1/16/2012 Yanyao "Imperial Potsticker" N. says:

Feb 1?

1/16/2012 Kenny "likes to eat Ph" O. says:

I'm down to dine with the interns on Feb 1!

1/17/2012 Linda "take the 15 to the 91 to the 55" D. says:

Let's do it! Feb 1 it is!

1/17/2012 Kenny "likes to eat Ph" O. says:

Woohoo! Well, I have a colloquium to go to until 12:15pm in Evanston, so I can probably get to downtown by 1:00-1:15 depending on how fast the trains are running. Should we shoot for something around that time?

1/17/2012 Yanyao "Imperial Potsticker" N. says:

I can call and make a reservation for 1:30pm on February 1? Sound good? :)

Anyone else feel like joining us, speak up (or PM me) before next Monday!

1/17/2012 Nishan P. says:

I want to attend but I can't do 1:30pm lunches on work days.

1/17/2012 Kenny "likes to eat Ph" O. says:

Yanyao, dooo eet.

1/18/2012 Linda "take the 15 to the 91 to the 55" D. says:

1:30 p.m. works for me :)

1/23/2012 Kenny "likes to eat Ph" O. says:

Anybody else?!?

1/23/2012 Sabrina M. says:

Yanyao, this is a great idea! But I'm with Nishan -- 1:30 lunch is a scootch too late for me. I'd be tempted to play hooky the rest of the day! Any chance you'd be willing to make it 12:30? If not, no worries.

1/23/2012 Yanyao "Imperial Potsticker" N. says:

Looks like we'll have to get another group together to do a 12:30 lunch!

Nishan & Sabrina: what dates work best for you?

1/24/2012 Sabrina M. says:

Whoo hoo! For a 12:30 lunch I can make myself available when_eva! 1st week of Feb ( 2/1 or any day that week) is great.

1/24/2012 Anne "I like to bike, but I'm not a hipster" S. says:

Oh, I so wish I could make it downtown for this!  Too bad I can't do lunch downtown anymore without taking a half day.

1/24/2012 Jennie T. says:

I work in the building; just let me know when. :)

1/24/2012 Linda "take the 15 to the 91 to the 55" D. says:

Can we change the 2/1 lunch to 12:30 then so Sabrina can join us? Ahhhh I'm afraid of heights!

1/24/2012 Yanyao "Imperial Potsticker" N. says:

I don't think Kenny can get downtown until 1:15pm.

1/31/2012 Josh "Bruiser" V. says:

Has anyone done this? Do you get any choice as to your starter? I'm not much into seafood and it would be unfortunate to have to skip a course.

1/31/2012 Yanyao "Imperial Potsticker" N. says:

I'm going tomorrow and will report back to you, Bruiser! :)

2/2/2012 Brandon "Marketing Manager - Fischman Liquors" W. says:

Service was incredibly slow.  Didnt get drinks until 15 minutes in.  Meals came 45 minutes later.  We were one of MAYBE 7 tables when we first got there.

2/11/2012 Kenny "likes to eat Ph" O. says:

That's odd. When Yanyao, Linda, and I dined there, service was exceptionally fast and personable.
