1890 at the Arcade

We received a free breakfast with our hotel pkg. Upon going to the restaurant I was a bit nervous there wouldn’t be much my husband and I would like. We like your basic breakfast classics. He wound up getting the frittata and I had the dark rum Carmel french toast. Wow! Both items were very yummy! The restaurant was pretty dead for a Saturday morning. and I had to keep asking for refills for my coffee which is why they list avstar. Always keep the coffee cups filled!

We went for Easter Sunday Brunch. You come here for the ambiance not the food. It was okay but not great, the views off the balcony is beautiful. A few items on the buffet were very good: Omelet, Roasted Potatoes and carrot pancakes. Other food items looked very good but tasted straight out of the freezer box. The roasted chicken was over cooked and very dry. The chicken sausage was kind of bland. Bacon seemed overly greasy, it’s really hard to mess up BACON but somehow they managed to mess it up. The dessert table was very pretty, however there was only 5 or so options, most of which seemed stale or overly rich (the chocolate moose was gross it tasted just like cocoa powder), however the lemon cake was excellent.

Your typical hotel restaurant. The service was slow, way overpriced, mediocre side items. For the price of the food and the reputation of the hotel, I would expect there to be freshly prepared foods, nothing previously frozen and more creativity from those running the kitchen.
Not worth trying when there are so many other great options within a short walk.

Quiet place great for a little conversation. Reasonable beer prices and can take your drinks out of bar to wonder around or bring to your room.

I have been here a few times for drinks, but this was my first time for food. We just ordered the pierogies before and evening out while were guests at the hotel and they were REALLY good! I would get them again FOR SURE! Very full of flavor, topped with cheese, scallions and bacon. I would ask for more sour cream, but I don’t know how to control myself… The drinks were also good and nice and strong.
On one of my other visits, however, I stopped in during happy hour. To note, glasses of wine are NOT discounted, but bottles are. However, each of the bottles I was looking for (it was cheaper to order a half off bottle than a glass) they were either out of or had already been opened. When I finally selected a bottle, it was turned. Overall, that experience was very disappointing and I ended up paying almost the same for a glass of wine that was only available in an opened bottle (that WAS on the happy hour menu) than for the bottle itself. :(

My wife and I stayed at the Hyatt and our room included breakfast at 1890. What a nice assortment of breakfast dishes! We were only expecting bland buffet style breakfast. I had eggs Benedict with their homemade breakfast potatoes, a mix of white and sweet potatoes cooked with lots of onion and peppers and served with Siracha Ketchup.
My wife had a spinach and chicken sausage egg white omelette.
Both dishes were good and they give you a large portion.
The service was great too. The décor is a bit odd, I think they need to redecorate to make the restaurant fit in better wth its historic surroundings. With some remodeling, this place would get 4 stars.

They are open late on a Sunday — so, that’s +1 star from me, since they actually fed me after my delayed flight. If it wasn’t for the welcoming and helpful service, the place would be a 2-​star with a stretch. The food is average, if not below… and the wine list is overprices and very limited.
Since when the salad is a pile of oldish greens on a plate with some sprinkled cheese and dry flavorless croutons? Oh, it’s a Cesare? OK… how does that explain old greens? and shouldn’t the parmesan cheese and the croutons be the highlight?
Anyz… thank you for feeding me late on a Sunday!

BLTA!!! The only green thing my 5 year old will consume is avocado. And bacon is a favorite. So, I got her the BLTA minus the LT. OMG! I dream about the quarter of that sandwich that she was not able to cram into her little tummy. The bacon was so different and good! I asked for crispy. I can only imagine how good it would be +LT. And the French fries were by far the best I ever had. Crisp out, soft in, not too thick or thin. And a unique flavor in itself. I am NOT a French fry fan.

It’s just another overpriced hotel restaurant; they are all terrible, except for the amazing AMP 150 in the Marriott. There are sooooo many awesome choices within walking distance that are better and less expensive than this place, even if you are staying at the Hyatt.
I have been here twice, both times on someone else’s tab. Both times, the service was great and the food was okay or even good… it’s just not good enough to justify the expense. A bowl of soup is $ 9, for crying out loud!
The fried fish, fries abd cole slaw I had last Friday was pretty tasty!

The food was overpriced and I just got a salad that was pretty pathetic. Salad was $ 13 for a handful of mixed lettuce, not even a half of an avocado and red onions sliced so thinly that they didn’t really have any flavor. The waitress was friendly, but not very knowledgeable about the food being served. At the end, instead of separating the check by item, she just divided the total by three, which made the total uneven for two of the couples with us.
Not a horrible place to go, but there’s definitely a lot better in the area, especially since you could spend the same amount on E. 4^th street for a much higher quality product.

My colleagues and I went here for breakfast. First, it is in an absolutely beautiful building. If you like architecture, check the arcade out.
The place was virtually, if not completely empty. However, the food was solid. I had an omelette with feta cheese and spinach, potatoes, wheat toast, and fresh-​squeezed OJ. The service was quick and everything was solidly good. Nearly all options were healthy. I would definitely return.

With my Starbucks… checking email at the Arcade… it’s fun to be a tourist in your own city!!!

Sort of vacant hotel, but surprisingly a really great spot for a meal. It’s not fancy, but the service was good and the food was tasty. Both times I’ve been it was consistantly good food.

Great breakfast!

This was my first item here. I can say I really enjoyed the place. Our server was Barbara; she was very pleasant, helpful and did everything perfectly. The atmosphere was really cool being in the Arcade and having a view of the Euclid Ave level of the interior. Inside the restaurant itself takes on the look of an American diner, but thankfully not in an overdone cheesy way. The food I ordered lived up to the healthy eating goals of Hyatt. I had salmon, cooked perfectly, over a bed of orzo with the most amazing combination of dates and pineapple chutney. And the sweet potato fries that came with my friend’s turkey burger were so good, yes I stole a few. And just a note for those of you wondering where this place is — if you enter off of Euclid Ave (you can also enter off of Superior Ave.) you simply walk straight in and keep going and you will run into it. The lounge is literally straight back, the restaurant is on the left side across from the hotel lobby area. Also for you Platinum Hyatt Gold Passport Members looking to redeem your Platinum Extras certificate for 1,000 bonus points — doing so at this place for lunch or dinner is an option.

I was not happy with our experience here.
Stayed at the Hyatt ARcade while in town and stopped in here one night after dinner for a drink. There were only two other parties here, one, a football fan from the wedding downstairs (obviously more interested in the game then the wedding) who was yelling f bombs the entire time he was here, and a father and his 9 year old son sitting at the bar, yes at the bar, not in the bar area.
The staff saw our annoyed looks at the continues antics of the pig in sheep clothing (AKA The wedding guest) but did nothing to calm his words or his tone. They also did nothing about the 9 year old bellying up to the bar with dad.
We opted for room service after this fiasco.

I found this in-​house restaurant/​bar just delightful. Barb our waitress both mornings, could not have been nicer, cheerier, or more of a delight early in the morning. She was attentive, did not rush us, and explained the lay of the land. They open for breakfast at 6:30 which gave us time before our flight to fill out tummies. The items available at the buffet were plentiful, hot, tasty, and they would even make an omelet if you wanted one. The fresh fruit was in season and sweet, not in need of ripening as is often the case.
When you enter, the restaurant is to the left and the bar is to the right. You can also enter the bar from the arcade after the restaurant closes. Enjoyment at the start and end of your day.

Ate breakfast here only because the hotel gave us a $ 40 credit. Who eats $ 40 worth of breakfast for 2 people you ask? The BF and I at this overpriced place.
A cup of coffee was $ 3.50, albeit with refills but it wasn’t Dunkin Donuts that’s for sure.
I ordered an egg white omelet with tomato, peppers and mushrooms. It came with toast and a side of home fries. It also had this delicious roasted tomato thing with bread crumbs on top, no idea what it was but it was great.
The BF had some sort of panini that he loved and home fries. The food was really good, but it was priced the same as the food on the room service menu and I think the menu was even the same.
The total came to $ 50 something with the tip.
It was good for free, but I would have been annoyed paying $ 3.5 for a cup of coffee if it was out of my pocket. Waitress was super nice and quick, also the guy who came around refilling drinks was mildly amusing.

Had a quick workday lunch at 1890. The restaurant wasn’t at all crowded and, likely as a result, service was relatively quick. The lunch menu featured a very hotel-​like (which is appropriate, of course) selection of salads, sandwiches, burgers, and some dinner entrée-​like fish and steak items. I ended up having the English Style Club Sandwich, which is turkey, smoked bacon, a fried egg, and Dijon mustard. The smoked bacon didn’t particularly stand out, but I think the fried egg and Dijon mustard tied the sandwich together well enough. The dish comes with a choice of a cucumber salad (I think) or fries. The fries were pretty decent – not as oily as one might expect.
The service was friendly and efficient. Prices seemed a little bit high for what we got – lunch for 2 (sandwiches and iced teas only) with a generous tip totaled $ 40. I wouldn’t say this is a big «power lunch» place but you’ll definitely see a number of tables full of suits. Because it’s tucked away in the Hyatt Hotel, which itself is a little camouflaged in the Arcade, I like 1890 as a low key place to get away for a little bit and enjoy a decent meal.

I ate at the «late night diner» version of this restaurant, open from 11 – 4 am Thursday through Sunday. It seems like a good idea, as the hotel must house plenty of drunk people who crave breakfast and milkshakes at 3 in the morning.
However, it’d be worth your while to find a restaurant outside of the arcade. Try the street that connects it to the House of Blues district.
The service here was beyond bad. They were just plain mean. We sat and waited at least 40 minutes for our food, all while we could see half of it aging under the heat lamps. When we were able to finally question the waitress, she yelled at us and said she’d assumed we wanted all our food together. Well, OK, we agreed, but could we just have the drinks we ordered? She yelled back that she thought we wanted our drinks with our food. Um, yeah. Everybody wants their Pepsi alongside their bacon, because it’s as good as the finest of wines and clearly worth waiting for.
The food was simply average. Not even worth describing. Imagine your average diner in any town in America and that’s what you’d get. Now add a snarling server and you’ve pictured the Late Night Diner.
I felt like the waitress was literally going to slap me around. I know that my friends and I were wildly intoxicated, and this must get extremely annoying as a customer base. But if you can’t serve drunkards with a sense of humor, try being a waiter during the day. Just sayin’.
