Michelin Guide "Dining is a first-rate affair; while the tucked-away Bernard 's Bar with its bevy of thirst-quenching libations, has that wood-paneled elegance down pat"
"There’s a fancy gym with a lap pool, a high-rolling bar and a couple of spiffy restaurants"
Gayot "House restaurants include the clubby Bernard's Bar & Restaurant, and Michael Mina's Margeaux Brasserie, serving the famed chef's inventive French cuisine"
Forbes Travel Guide "Bernard’s, a handsome bar with wood paneling and leather seats, is located on the second floor"
Condé Nast Traveler "For some pre-matinee munchies, check out Bernards Bar, a brassy, leather-bound boîte, for small plates and custom cocktails"
Jetsetter "The Waldorf’s location just off of Oak Street puts you a stone’s throw from Chicago’s best boutique shopping by the likes of Barneys New York, Hermès and Prada"
Fodor's "Tucked away on the second floor is Bernard's Bar, a handsome craft cocktail lounge overlooking Oak Street featuring a select number of top-shelf whiskeys and French-inspired bites"
Star Service "A reception desk stands discreetly to the right, while a fireplace lounge furnished with curving brown sofas lies in the opposite direction"
