"After, the bar and lounge from two-Michelin-starred Ever’s chef Curtis Duffy and sommelier Michael Muser offers Chicagoans an elegant on-ramp to the pair’s brand of luxurious dining and drinking. Previously wine director at the late, three-Michelin-starred Grace, Muser is known for an exacting approach and high expectations for his staff’s wine knowledge. But at After, he aims to please with ideal representations of each varietal. Intricately designed down to the last acoustic panel, After also provides an opportunity for patrons to taste Duffy’s cooking without footing a significant bill for Ever’s spendy tasting menu. Make a reservation through Tock." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam
