Baby friendly dinner near Embassy Suites downtown?

[AZCat]

I'll be in Chicago this weekend with my Mom and 7 month old, so I'm looking for a couple of recommendations for dinner places with good chow that tolerate a babbling baby well. She's only 7 months, so a kid's menu is not necessary, but a highchair is. I'd really like to stay away from the chains, and wouldn't mind something a bit nicer than pizza or burgers. We're staying at the Embassy Suites downtown lakefront - walking distance would be preferable. Any suggestions?

I second Kelly -- the number of tourists in the area ensures that children are well tolerated. We have taken our son as an infant/toddler to many of the places named above. Heaven on Seven has the loud atmosphere that keeps a baby from being noticed, and Lawry's Prime Rib is spacious and welcoming. We also enjoy casual meals at the cafe at Fox and Obel. I'm a big fan of Osteria Via Stato and have taken my son there twice.

Go to Coco Pazzo. It is right next door to your hotel, and a great relaxed atmosphere. It is also pretty loud and bustling, so your 7 month old will hardly be noticed. They also have seating outside
