Laurent Tourondel's Chicago foray seems to want to appease every craving—the restaurant offers pizza, sushi, steaks, burgers, a raw bar, brunch and more. But topped with anemic slices of watery tomato, the pizza doesn't satisfy…

Bringing on notable chefs including Jackie Shen and Rodelio Aglibot seemed like an opportunity for the Dana Hotel to overcome the structural (and aesthetic) challenges of its restaurant space…
