The Ambassador Room
Celebrating 100 Years of Dining, Drinks & Stories
The Ambassador Room, once the legendary Pump Room, has reopened its doors — inviting a new generation to dine where stars and icons have gathered for nearly a century. Steeped in Gold Coast history, the space blends timeless glamour with a fresh, modern spirit.
​
On the menu, you’ll find crave-worthy shareables, bold mains, and indulgent desserts — from charcuterie for two and braised short rib tacos to linguini shrimp scampi and molten lava cake. It’s Chicago dining reimagined in one of the city’s most historic settings.
