Peninsula Chicago Dining Deal

I’ve only eaten at The Peninsula restaurant, The Lobby, one time and that was during Restaurant Week. The room is beautiful and the food and service were wonderful. While not cheap I was surprised that a glass of wine was “only” around $18 with tax and tip. Hey, it is The Peninsula. Anyway, I was surprised to find this deal…
