First time eating here at Prentice— it’s a little hidden but thought we would check it out. Located in the Northwestern Hospital campus in Streeterville, you call from your room phone and within 30-45 minutes they bring the food right to your room. Phone operators not the most pleasant, delivery folks much more pleasant. Nice views from where we ate, almost a “Rear Window” type vibe on the 22nd floor.
I was able to customize the omelette and specify egg whites too which was nice. Not too greasy, and I picked some favorite veggies to add in. 7/10. The bacon was a little rubbery but after 1.5 hours of sleep I would have eaten a bag of sand, so I didn’t care. 5/10. Drank a lot of apple juice out of the limited drink options and they had the cups like the school cafeteria which was, I guess, nostalgic, maybe. 6/10.
The menu leans healthier for all options which was nice, I think it’s important to have health conscious meals from time to time. It arrived on a hot plate with a cover that truly kept it warm for two hours after it was delivered which was impressive, 10/10. Not pictured is a bowl of oatmeal. We also got two of the “Fantastic Salads” for lunch and while not what I would describe as “fantastic” they certainly hit the spot and didn’t make me shit my brains out, which I appreciated.
The patient gets the meal for free and the partner tray is $12 and that comes with entree and apps and juice or coffee for both people. And by free I mean $20K~? but insurance is still being sorted out so we will see what the final bill is.
Huge plus is that there is no 3% service fee or gratuity needed at all for that matter. It sounds like it is baked into the $20K.
