The Crescent Room may not always be available for reservations. The Crescent Room only offers a pre-fixe menu and is often booked in advance for private functions.
Tizi Melloul Mediterranean Restaurant & Lounge is located just steps from the Merchandise Mart in the fashionable River North district. Helmed by Steven Ford and Quay Tao, Tizi Melloul features the culinary skills of Chef Jared Wentworth. The menu takes its inspiration from Italian, French, Moroccan, Middle Eastern and Greek influences, and offers diners three unique seating options to enjoy their dinner. A round communal dining room features a circle of tables where diners sit on low banquettes and poufs eating with their hands. The opulent main dining room offers a more formal service of the full menu, while appetizers, desserts, cocktails and champagne are available in the sexy bar and lounge.
