I think it is the hardest to get lunch reservations. It seems easier to get dinner or tea reservations. I got dinner reservations with just a few days notice. I posted these pictures of my December cafe dinner before, but I will post them again just in case you didn't see them. I've eaten in Chicago restaurants several times, and I don't think I enjoyed a meal more than at the AGP Cafe. Of course, it was a special day with my daughter and husband, but the food and atmosphere was especially enjoyable.
