We found this restaurant wonderful. Servers were kind and attentive and completely unpretentious with our questions about why the spoon had a dent in it. We enjoyed a lovely anniversary meal here and appreciated the variety without excess portions and the traditional touch of amuse bouche and sorbet before dessert. I love this style of traditional French cuisine and wish it always to prosper.
In one word: OUTSTANDING. We've been lucky enough to have eaten here twice, and both meals were absolutely fabulous. Service could not be better, wine selection is great, cocktails superb, and the food? Ooh La La! After our meal, we got to meet and speak with Chef Jean Joho, and pass on greetings from Paul Haeberlin in Illshaeusern, France. The view from way up is spectacular, looking to the west, but the tables adjacent to the windows seem to be booked further ahead than we make out plans. Otherwise, I'll let these photos speak for themselves.
Excellent eye-popping food with excellent service. Check in with security in the lobby for entry to the elevators to the 38th floor, where you change for the elevator to Everest on 40.
Nice view facing west on a sunny day.
Food was paced a bit slow for the sampler menu relative to the tasting menu, i.e. the table behind us ordered the multi-course tasting menu and their dessert arrived at the same time as ours, having ordered the three course sampler menu.
Celebrated my wedding anniversary here this past weekend and have to say the food was loaded with flavor. Tastebuds were going crazy. We decided to do the 7 course tasting... absolutely delicious! Although it is hard to choose, the foie gras and smoked salmon were my personal favorite. It was unfortunate we didn't get a window table or even a view of a window. The photos of the restaraunt are a little misleading as you may assume every table has at least a view.
Fantastic French cuisine. We enjoyed the lobster, fois gras (best I have had!), and scallops for starters. The duck was outstanding. Excellent service and view of West Chicago. Highly recommend.
A marvelous dinner at the 40th floor with an awesome view on the city. It is a Michelin starred restaurant with fresh delicious food and "savoir faire". My mother and I got an excellent friendly service from all the staff. We also appreciated and were honored to have the visit of the Chef Jean Joho.
Our view was excellent and the menu had a large variety of tasty options for each course. Lisa was our main server but the entire staff provided top notch service and attention to detail. The lobster soup and sea bass were phenomenal.
Classic French Chicago prefixe. Christmas menu was delicious. Would go back to try more of their "known for" plates. The service was a little hectic, not as organized and coordinated as places like Tru; however the servers were very friendly. The atmosphere was not too pretentious, but it is hard to completely avoid at a $$$$ French prefixe

Everest is an intimate and quiet restaurant for a special occasions (this night was the start of our anniversary weekend) or for date night. The staff were professional and friendly. I also enjoyed the conversation with the chef when he went table to table. Speaking of the chef, the food was absolutely delicious from the appetizers and bread through to the main course and dessert. I am giving this restaurant five stars for the food and wait staff, but not for the manager. Our conversation with him to resolve a minor issue, he was on the rude side and unhelpful. We almost left and went elsewhere, but he threatened we would be charged $75 for each of us and call it a cancellation. That type of response to customers standing right in front of him was disappointing to the say the least.

Having recently spent time in Alsace, it was a delightful reminder of the many terrific regional foods and wines of this vastly under explored region. Amuse Boucher “flights” between a couple of courses was well done. Enjoyed several of the House specialties including lobster tarting, goose and seared foie gras paired with Sauterne. Service was attentive and timely. Jordan had a special spark. An investment in a memorable evening. Did I mention the breathtaking views?
