editI took several pictures of the restaurant today and uploaded three different views:
- Image:Berghoff1.JPG - a midrange view that captures most of the building, with the famous Berghoff sign near the center
- Image:Berghoff2.JPG - a picture of the sign
- Image:Berghoff3.JPG - a longer range picture that captures the whole restaurant complex and show more graphically the line of patrons snaking down the street. However, the sign is much less prominent than in the midrange view and is toward the left edge of the image.
Unfortunately, the midday sun reflecting off the new glass building on the north side of Adams Street makes for strange lighting on the facade of the restaurant. I picked Image:Berghoff1.JPG, but don't object if someone else prefers one of the other shots. -- DS1953 talk 04:48, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- I updated the main article to include recent information and dates about the reopening of the cafe and bar. Unfortunately I was not logged in at the time, but it was me. Also added external link to Artistic Events Catering. Could probably include information about speculation that the closing/reopening was a "union busting" move... maybe later...

The former all male waiters at the Berghoff AND what I read in Restaurant News
editAfter reading 15+ years ago the original Berghoff on Adams Street had Waiters who averaged $140,000 per year incomes and that particular Institution had the highest gross revenue of any other single located restaurant in the United States, I was able to deduce the following:
Their system of having the Waiters pay upon leaving the kitchen DID result in their customers having the exceptional service they provided. The Waiters watched all their customers like a hawk. Ahould any customer walk out without paying - their Waiter paid for that infraction.
This is Craig A Williams Architect whom frequented the Berghoff every single visit to Chicago 172.77.146.71 (talk) 15:32, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
