I
can
not
recommend
the
American
Craft
restraunt
located
in
the
Hyatt
Regency
Chicago
hotel.
I
ate
3
meals
here
(as
the
other
hotl
restraunt
was
closed.
Meal
1(dinner):
a
$42
12
ounce
NY
strip
and
a
$12
Berry
blast
cocktail.
The
steak
was
ordered
as
medium
rare,
it
was
delivered
medium
well.
Char
was
good,
but
the
need
to
use
steak
sauce
on
a
$42
steak
is
ridiculous.
Mashed
potatoes
were
fine
but
boring
and
the
broccolini
was
broiled
but
still
tough
and
crunchy.
The
"Berry
blast"
cocktail
didn't
have
the
blueberries
muddled
and
tasted
only
of
the
tito's
vodka
used.
Meal
2(lunch):
$25
Fish
and
chips
-
no
complaints,
the
skin
left
on
the
northern
pike
was
odd,
but
crisp
so
it
was
fine.
The
batter
was
non-traditional,
but
fine.
Just
over
priced.
Meal
3(dinner):
$35
1/2
lb
of
"brisket".
The
"bbq
sauce"
tasted
like
ketchup
with
a
bit
of
worchestershire
sauce
mixed
in.
Sad.
The
brisket
had
a
decent
rub,
but
was
greasy,
so
much
so
it
looked
as
though
the
meat
had
luster
dust
brushed
on
it.
The
brisket
also
still
had
a
fat
cap...
this
is
a
problem
for
2
reasons,
1-the
excess
fat
cap
should
be
trimmed
before
cooking.
2-
the
remaining
fat
should
be
rendered
down
during
smoking
keeping
the
brisket
juicy.
The
result:
after
4
slices
of
brisket
you
just
have
an
oily/greasy
mouth
feel
as
the
bbq
sauce
does
nothing
to
cut
the
fat.
Do
not
waste
your
time
and
money
eating
here.
4
star
restraunt
prices,
1
star
restraunt
food
and
drinks.
The
chef
should
be
severly
disappointed
with
the
meals.
