Dining room at Atwood Café, Chicago, ILLocated in the historic Hotel Burnham, the Deco-style Atwood Café---a favorite among State Street shoppers---is a worthy destination on its own. Still, it’s hotel guests and a pre-theater crowd that tends to fill the tables of the dramatic, windowed space at night. Tweaked comfort food is the focus on the plate, and the flaky chicken and vegetable potpie (a longtime mainstay) leads the pack. When dining here, however, we like to take chances and find it often pays off. Among the dishes that have pleased us: garden-y yellow-pepper and basil soup with blue crab and sweet-savory graham cracker-fried calamari with roasted garlic aïoli. The warm, tart cherry dumpling with lemon curd gelato is a worthy final indulgence when available.
