"Rockford doesn’t have the same dining reputation as other cities but Abreo shows that great things can come from unexpected places. Chef Paul Sletten pushes boundaries with a rotating selection of seasonal small plates that draw inspiration from all over. Dine on creative fare like duck nachos, asparagus cacio e pepe, beef rib eye elotes, and beet ricotta tart. When it’s nice outside, eat on the garden patio and pair the tapas with a drink from the extensive whisky and wine list." - Jeffy Mai
