This is one of the restaurants that is located in the Hyatt Regency Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>We ate at BISTRO at 151 on Sunday evening after our group decided that we were hungry around 8 PM, since we had such a late lunch at <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=8349\"  title=\"Giordano's\" target=\"_blank\">Giordano&#8217;s<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The menu is a variety of different items ranging from soups and salads to sandwiches and steaks. Since we got there so late in the evening they didn&#8217;t have a lot of seating. They had already shut down a large portion of the restaurant and we were being limited to the bar or a 35-minute wait. We chose the bar, of course. <\/p>\n<p>We sat down got our menus and realized that the meals here were not going to be cheap. The cheapest item on the menu was around $8.00 and it went all the way up to about $30.00 for the steak. <\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t that hungry and I really try not to eat that late in the evening so I just had a small chicken quesadilla appetizer. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7868608848\/\"  title=\"2012-08-26 19.31.22.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8434\/7868608848_e2cd4b6da2.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2012-08-26 19.31.22.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was not impressed with my meal. It was alright but not worth the $12 price tag. The guys in my group decided on more substantial meals. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7868604626\/\"  title=\"2012-08-26 19.31.59.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7124\/7868604626_55d56811bf.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2012-08-26 19.31.59.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7868595314\/\"  title=\"2012-08-26 19.32.13.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8434\/7868595314_083d7dff89.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2012-08-26 19.32.13.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We went there again for breakfast.

Again, I am no longer a big buffet eater but for the money you do have a pretty vast selection. The buffet is definitely the way to go, though. The $22 buffet price also includes coffee and juice. It actually costs more to go a la carte. Yes, the coffee and juice were that expensive. I am already looking for a different place for breakfast. The food is good. It&#8217;s just too expensive.
