The W Hotel - Lakeshore's chic restaurant specializes in Mediterranean-inflected small plates. Moroccan-spiced prawns, braised duck flatbread and a citrus and herb-marinated chicken kebab are a few of the sharable small plate options. Full-sized entrees include braised lamb shank, roasted quail, and African-spiced strip steak. Seating includes a large table for big parties, plush seating "pods" and two-person "lovestools" at the bar. The dining room is dominated by dramatic views of Lake Michigan from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Enjoy a bevy of hand-crafted cocktails, like the blood-orange cosmopolitan, the orange blossom martini, and the Moroccan Mary, a bloody Mary amped with fiery harissa and aged balsamic vinegar.
