A Critic Finds a ‘Sopranos’-Worthy Muffuletta | Eater Chicago

"Channeling 1950s Hollywood glamour, the dining room pairs old-school luxury with a modern, restrained execution under executive chef Johnny Besch. Highlights include a thoroughly modern, deconstructed shrimp cocktail—hefty prawns plated on horseradish panna cotta with spiced-tomato gastrique and lemon confit—and an astounding cauliflower course with perfect texture and a balanced mix of sweet, salty, bitter, spicy and umami notes. Entrées like a beautiful halibut in a spicy kimchi broth and an especially flavorful leg of lamb hold their own, and the meal culminates in theatrical desserts such as an over-the-top hot-fudge brownie sundae and sticky toffee pudding with dulce de leche ice cream." - Jeffy Mai
