  Mad mad longtime love for this place. You need to be starving though- they serve nice extras- warm broth to start, accompanied with the legendary puff pastries avec strawberry honey butter; these alone could be a meal!
  You will see well-heeled consumers noshing the time away. You'll feel like a lady who lunches!

  As someone who's originally from Chicago and wants to do a "ladies who lunch" scenario this is the place. It's on the forth floor of the Neiman's building on Michigan Ave. Its beautiful, the staff is good and when you sit down they bring you a demitasse cup of that well known Chicken Consommé and the Pop Overs fresh from the oven with that Strawberry Whipped Butter.. omg I miss that and going to The Zodiac Room. That Mandarin Orange Soufflé (it's not what you think) this salad got me to buy their cookbook. The chocolate chip cookies are excellent and worth the try from them. Thing is now I think this place has a new name of concept. Check the website. Lunch will not be inexpensive the Mandarin Salad is like $20 but it's worth the splurge. If your in the area check it out, have a cocktail or a glass of bubbly. Parking considering it's on Michigan Ave. Either a parking lot, cab it  or Uber or walk or whatever. If you wanna feel like a lady who lunches go. I miss this place and the elegance without being stuffy.

  Came here for a sister date. Zodiac Room is on the fourth floor of Neiman Marcus. It's fun just to go look at beautiful handbags and pieces. It really motivates me to grind harder in life. That shimmery ocean blue $300 velvety soft silk shirt?? Do I need it? (no). Do I love it? (gorgeous).
  *works harder in life*
  Can I justify spending $300 on some fabric with buttons?? sadly not today. good bye beautiful shirt!
  
  Pros:
  -Excellent service- everyone was so friendly, responsive, helpful and it definitely had an air of high quality service.
  -Loved how fast items were removed or arranged onto our table and how fast the waters were filled.
  -Our waiter even commented on the "wait time" of the salad which I definitely did not think was that long.
  -Food was delicious- I had the orange mousse chicken salad which was amazing and the sister had crab salad which had avo- yummy!
  -Dessert was great- sister had the pumpkin creme brulee and I had NM cookies that was presented in a NM box with recipe card (so cute!)
  -They have the most adorable after lunch mints that come tucked into NM envelopes post lunch with the bill.
  
  Cons:
  -Pricey for lunch- our meal was $60 w/o drinks.
  Everything else was decent- will likely return if I'm ever in the area or in the mood for that chicken salad.
  
  THANK YOU SISTER FOR LUNCH!!!

  Fabulous lunch spot. Came her for a fast lunch - maybe better suited for a day off than a power lunch just because the pace of the service tho excellent is a little more suited for a long lunch.
  
  Steak salad was literally a steak and a salad which I'm not used to (the steak is often sliced) but I thought that it tasted wonderful and was cooked perfectly.
  
  Sister loved her chicken sandwich and I LOVE that they put the calories on the menu.
  
  Will definitely be back!

  Came in as a curious food taster. I have to say that chicken consomme starter broth was dynamite.  I could have just had that for lunch to be honest.  I ordered the beef wellington. While the flavors were all there, it wasn't really a wellington in the traditional sense. The beef was outside of the pastry rather that inside of it. In spite of this, the beef was high quality, the pastry was cooked well and the mushrooms and sauce were delicious. This was accompanied by a creamed spinach.  I would go back again, but I think I'll ask for extra chicken consomme.
