T&e Chicago

The restaurant has permanently closed, yet OpenTable still lists it as an option.

They were closed when we arrived. Despite having a reservation through OpenTable, the place was locked up and appeared abandoned.

T&E permanently closed about a month ago. I made reservations for a business breakfast with 7 people at 8 AM, consisting of colleagues from both the west and east coasts, all of us visiting from out of town. The reservation was confirmed, and I received a reminder the day before, which I also reconfirmed. However, when we arrived, T&E was dark and closed. A security guard outside informed us that the restaurant had shut down a month prior. Fortunately, we found a great alternative just two blocks away. If we had been anywhere other than the bustling Chicago riverfront, this could have posed a significant problem. Lesson learned: always call the restaurant ahead of time to ensure they are still open. Luckily, my group was adaptable and brought their pandemic resilience with them.

Open Table reservation... went to T&E and it was closed looked like for renovation.

The restaurant is closed, but there is a good opportunity for an open table.
