    A very quiet lunchtime on Presidents Day. I came for my favourite Fusilli. My first couple of bites were quite spicy (I don't recall it being as spicy on previous occasions) and I began to choke. Staff were very helpful, offered to replace with a less spicy version but I didn't like the thought of food being wasted. My cough settled down, I enjoyed the Fusilli as I always do (resolved to ask for less spicy next time). They brought me a second glass of wine on the house so that solved everything. This is a VERY CLASSY restaurant with tasty and interesting food. I come every year in February and always visit Acanto ....

    Even if you only experience this winter outdoor dining only once in your lifetime, you should! It is beautiful outside surrounded by the downtown Chicago skyline! You stay warm and cozy long enough to enjoy a meal and drinks. It’s a wonderfully unique experience!

    We went here after getting married at city hall and the staff made this such a wonderful experience! They put flowers at our table and wrote us a handwritten card with complimentary Prosecco. Great service and food, and they were accommodating to our party of 12. Would recommend to anyone!

    I gave low marks on ambiance because the tables were so close together that it felt like we were at one long table with a bunch of strangers for Valentines Day dinner. Additionally, when we walked in, it appeared as though the hosts weren’t enforcing the dress code and we saw many people in hoodies and T-shirt’s. Not proper clothing for a place that charges over $100 per person for a meal.

    Everything about lunch at Remingtons was perfect. The decor is very sophisticated and pleasant. Service couldn’t be any better. And the food is very good classic American. My only complaint is their prices. They are exceedingly high. An appetizer crab cake, while quite delicious, is $22. In addition, they charge 3.5% sur charge. This just seems excessive.
