no one picks up and voicemail is full. anyone know whats going on with this place? are they closed? i know he closed down the place after the charlie trotter dinner but i was under the impression it had opened back up again...maybe its closed again?

cant seem to find anything about this online or on their website...

Check LTH Forum or Chowhound Chicago - this is common at Schwa. It's very difficult to get anyone on the phone or to have your calls returned; some think it's part of the charm.

Yeah I'd heard that it is open, just that it has the same problems you just outlined. Best bet is to just keep trying to call.

It's open, it's just impossible to reach anyone or get a call back. Keep trying. It'll be worth it.

Make sure you actually pay them for the meal.

Many office phones and phone plans offer the ability to redial a particular number until it is answered.

Call the hotel concierge where you will be staying or use your CC concierge.

That won't work either. How is the concierge going to get through?
I called twice daily for 7 weeks before I finally got someone to answer my call. But, it was worth every second on the phone and every penny on the bill.

I have found the better hotels have a relationship with the top restaurants. You don't think the Penisula hotel concierge goes to the yellow pages when Brad Pitt wants a reservation? I know he is not BP, but my point is they have numbers you don't have access to.
