At first my server was the older gentleman who was at the host desk in front. My service was a little slow, but it could be because they had just opened for dinner and there were few staff there initially. I had a one day stay at the Hilton O'Hare Airport, and spotted this restaurant. Hilton - wake up! You used to be upscale, what happened? Consider putting a well-lighted modern restaurant, serving fresh innovative cuisine, in this facility, and lose the sleazy 'men's club' atmosphere. The dining room, which you enter through a door labeled 'telephone' (booth) was very dark and unappealing. The standard seafood appetizers seemed to please people, but to my taste, I would bet they had spent some time in the freezer prior to cooking. The food was only marginal: heavy on the steaks and greasy chicken smothered in cheese.

I learned later that the old Chicago Gaslight Clubs were the 'inspiration' for Hugh Hefner's Playboy Clubs in the 60's - there's a reason those clubs are largely defunct.

There is no reason to dress professional waitstaff in this manner. Actually, outdated and stupid for any purpose. ugh! It was embarrassing and inappropriate for business.

As a woman business executive, I am not comfortable being served by women who are dressed so scantily: tight corsets, revealing bustiers, fishnet stockings. Business dinner that night was scheduled for the Gaslight Club. Staying overnight at the Chicago O'Hare Hilton, a fairly nice business hotel, we had a two day meeting on site.
