Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Potomac_11Potomac, MD472 contributionsWorth a visit for a meal in the Walnut Room and a peek at the Tiffany ceiling. No contemporary store offers this type of classic grandeur.Written 17 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NaeLambMeridian, ID35 contributionsWe went as a family but my husband and I did a lot of shopping with just a few of our adult kids.

- pyegirlRome, Italy1,426 contributionsThis is the place to go if you are in the market for new, high end kitchen appliances or remodel fixtures and you want to see them and talk to peopel who know the differences between all the diff models/products. For those of us who live in small markets and can't actually see the actual appliances and are left to guess with either sales people who don't know squat (eg. Best Buy or small appliance stores that hire your college student on vacation), this is the place to go to really shop.
Make an appointment with all the show rooms and have them tell you about their products. They don't actually sell you the product, but they are very knowledgeable. Thermador, Bosch, Miele, Wolf, Monogram, Dakor, Waterworks, you name it, it's there.
One stop shopping with people who know their stuff.Written 27 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and there was a very sparse crowd (good for us, but not for the merchants) and the food court was an excellent selection of cuisines. If you go, you must try the TopGolf Swing Suite (6th floor). Great bar and fun 'adult' gaming activities on two large interactive screens.Written 6 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sue BEdinburgh, UK8 contributionsGreat selection of food, desserts, and international cuisine, even without all of the vendors being open when we were there!Written 27 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peggy B3 contributionsA must-see if you are interested in architecture, interior design, miniatures or historical interiors. Sixty-plus amazingly detailed interiors representng hundreds of years of European and American architecture, furnishings, lighting, art and decor. We were blown away by the craftsmanship and detail at such a small scale. Just one example: Imagine a tiny embroidery frame with a work in progress--and a tiny needle at hand on the piece ready for work to resume.Written 1 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bee80204Denver, CO5,016 contributionsFancying a walk in a luxury department store, I entered 900 North Michigan Shops when I saw the Bloomingdale’s sign. Venturing into the beauty section I sampled the lipsticks with help from the sales associate and took advantage of the free gift offer and made a purchase. I love MAC cosmetics, especially their lipsticks so I was excited that I could indulge my weakness.
The rest of the store was just as pleasant to walk through and admire the merchandise. There were lovely displays including a flower cart where a fragrance purchase qualifies you for a lovely bouquet. I would definitely visit again if I ever needed more MAC items.Written 26 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradHong Kong, China178,362 contributionsShops at North Bridge is located on Michigan Ave centred around a multi-floor Nordstrom anchor along with around 50 mid-range to luxury brand name shops and eateries. It makes for a good mall experience and contribution to the shopping scene along the Magnificent Mile. If helpful, check the North Bridge website for directory of businesses that can be found here.Written 18 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ken kOnsted, MI4,082 contributionsLike most antique shops everything is always evolving. They have everything and anything including furniture upstairs. Modern artsy stuff to old ancient stuff. Fun place to browse even if you don’t want anything. It’s located on Broadway in Edgewater.Written 16 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Taylor BChicago, IL8,478 contributionsMy wife and I recently purchased a fine glass antique paperweight from L.H. Selman Ltd. in Chicago to serve as a centerpiece for our extensive Civil War collection of rare and first-edition books, manuscripts, autographs, paintings and artifacts. Until we visited the Selman gallery and museum at 410 South Michigan Avenue, in the historic Fine Arts Building, overlooking Millennium Park and Grant Park and the nearby Art Institute of Chicago, we didn't have any knowledge about paperweights. In less than two hours, we received a thorough education. Selman is a name that has been synonymous with the finest antique and contemporary paperweights for over 40 years. It is the premier dealer in fine art glass paperweights in the United States and its mission is to promote the very best by exhibiting and selling through its gallery and at auction the finest examples made in past centuries and by nurturing new talent emerging from independent studios. It's a fascinating adventure, viewing the largest collection of antique and contemporary paperweights in the world. After it's over, you understand that a paperweight isn't a simple desk accessory. The origin of glass paperweights can be traced to France in 1845, when glass factories such as Baccarat, Saint Louis and Clichy were competing to create the world's finest crystal luxury items, including water sets, tableware and inkwells, then paperweights. Collectors range from kings and American presidents to writers and investors to Truman Capote and Arthur Rubloff. L.H. Selman was introduced to paperweights in the mid-1960s. He began collecting them, started a small mail order business, created a publishing company to distribute information about paperweights, then founded the International Paperweight Society and Museum on South Michigan Avenue. In 2001, he was named "one of the Top Ten People of the 20th Century" to influence the paperweight art form. In 2009, he sold his business to Mitch and Ben Clark. They picked up the torch--or the paperweight--and the Chicago art scene remains in sterling condition.Written 14 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JwkruzDowners Grove, IL178 contributionsWe stopped by to see how it had transformed since UIC had taken over its original location. It's a lot of food stalls (Mexican food) and the rest of the vendors are selling flea market junk. The Randolph St market would be a much better alternative.Written 3 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
