Restoration Hardware is mainly filled with 54,00 square feet of fancy furniture we can’t afford, and we love it. But this love affair has nothing to do with the furniture, and everything to do with the Three Arts Cafe. To give you some perspective on the building, The Three Arts Club was an actual home and club for women built in 1914 in the Gold Coast. It served as a shared residential space until 2004, was empty for a few years, and is now the flagship store for Restoration Hardware. Five floors of furniture shopping is our worst nightmare, but the restaurant inside of it is great. The cafe in the first floor atrium is stunningly beautiful. And the natural light and flowing water fountain in the center of it all makes the place feel very serene. We can’t always sip champagne at 3pm on a Thursday afternoon, but this place makes us want to, and we can’t get enough of the space and the people watching. We go out of our way to hang here for coffee and a light bite, or an extended brunch or lunch when we have nowhere else to be. The food is by no means an afterthought here. Get serious with an excellent truffled grilled cheese, one of the salads, or a simple yet delicious burger. Just know that 3 Arts Cafe is only open until 9pm, so you can do dinner, but time is limited.
