Three Chicago Area Restaurants Earn 1999 Mobil Travel Guide Five-Star Awards
FAIRFAX, Va.--Jan. 12, 1999-- Mobil Corporation today announced that three Chicago area restaurants are among the 18 restaurants in North America to earn the coveted 1999 Mobil Travel Guide Five- Star Award. Le Francais in Wheeling has earned its 18th Mobil Five-Star Award. Charlie Trotter's and Everest in Chicago repeated their top-level recognition for the fourth year in a row. A complete description of all the Mobil Five-and Four-Star recipients is contained in America's Best Hotels and Restaurants, one of the volumes of the expanding Mobil Travel Guide series published by Fodor's Travel Publications, Inc., and is available in bookstores starting this week."Each Mobil Five-Star restaurant offers a rare and unique dining experience on a consistent basis," said Mark Jacobson, Program Advisor to the Mobil Travel Guide. "The utmost attention is paid to every detail of the diner's needs, from making reservations to a warm reception, attentive but unobtrusive service, and of course, exquisite food. Suffice it to say that when you are having a meal in a Mobil Five-Star restaurant, you know it, and the memory of the fine experience lingers."
In addition, six lodgings and six restaurants in Chicagoland earned Mobil Four-Star Awards, which designates them as "outstanding and worth a special trip." The Mobil Four-Star hotels, all in Chicago, are Fairmont, Four Seasons, Omni Chicago Hotel, Renaissance, The Ritz-Carlton, and Westin River North. The Mobil Four-Star restaurants are Ambria, Arun's, Ritz-Carlton Dining Room, Seasons, and Spiaggia in Chicago, and Trio in Evanston.
The honorees represent a select group chosen from over 22,000 lodging and dining establishments included in the 13 volumes of the 1999 Mobil Travel Guide. Additional Mobil Travel Guide information can be found on the Internet at www.mobil.com/travel
