    Paul's Landing was quiet which was absolutely fine for celebrating my husband's birthday. We sat outdoors and our server was pleasant and helpful. My gin and tonic was excellent and we enjoyed the tuna nachos. They were packed with flavor. The birthday chocolate chip cookies were a great way to end our dining.

    Everything was very good however disappointed that at 12:30 they were already out of the only soup they serve. That's all I wanted for lunch and there's nothing else that small. There were 7 of us and everyone else happy with their food.

    I am a past Chairman and President of the Illinois Restaurant Association and have been in Hospitality for decades. We went to Pauls Landing for dinner on 1/25. We ordered 2 hand held sandwiches. My wife had the Grouper and I had the Prime tenderloin. My wife said it was one of the best Grouper sandwiches she eaten. Unfortunately, I did not have the same results. My sandwich was lite on meat and the meat had a great deal of grizzle. I showed our server and asked her to show the Manager. She took the plate and there was no response. As a restaurateur, I always wanted to know of a problem and my policies for all of my Managers was to accommodate the client what ever the cost. She came back and asked if we would like dessert. You can experience a bad meal served but I was extremely dissatisfied the way it was handled. Everyone from the Valet to the Hostess were very gracious and the Vinoy was 5+ STARS. We will look forward to dinner at Pauls. Sincerely jack drexler

    Great view. Dining outside in the shade on a warm Sunday afternoon was lovely. Burger was just ok but the tuna nachos were very good. We weren’t rushed at all.

    Good afternoon, I searched and searched for an open restaurant for Christmas dinner. Paul's landing was the only restaurant open and available for Christmas dinner. I read their online menu and all the reviews, seems like a great place to eat. When my party arrived for dinner, we were ready to eat. The waiter was confused from the get-go. He never stopped by once to ask how everything is. He also misrepresented the menu; short rib special was supposed to be a big portion and comes with grilled asparagus. I received carrots under the short rib. The meat was fatty. The choices on the menu were totally different than the menu posted online. Not many choices so the Ladies ordered the chef cut (rib-eye), a 14-ounce steak for $55.00. Thats a bit absurd, this is no Capital Grille or Ruth Chris. Drinks are $20.00 plus. Ridiculous. I also noticed that many plates were returned to the kitchen with confusion. Save your monies folks, this is NOT a 4-star restaurant. Have a blessed day
