The 38 Essential Restaurants in Chicago

"Asador Bastian isn’t for the quaint of heart. This River North basque restaurant specializes in rare beef, not the pedestrian cuts found at a grocer. Make sure to order extra piquillo peppers, and to order the bone marrow potato puree for a decadent experience. Steak remains popular in Chicago but both Doug Psaltis and Hsing Chen take a different approach with lots of seafood and killer desserts that drift away from tradition." - Ashok Selvam
