Two New Hollywood Supper Clubs Show That The Genre Isn’t Purely Midwestern | Eater Chicago
"Located at 736 N. Clark Street, I encountered a Prohibition-era–inspired supper club that actually flashes forward to the 1950s and ’60s, helmed by veteran Chicago chef Matt Williams (formerly of Hogsalt) in a space with 60 seats, plenty of red leather booths, a mostly jazz soundtrack, and a bit of mystery at the entrance that gives way to a comfortable, intimate environment. The menu plays many of the classics — an oyster bar with a shellfish tower, crab cakes, a whole-roaster Dover sole, and steaks including a dry-aged bone-in ribeye and steak frites — while the drinks are riffs on classics; Charlie’s Martini combines Sipsmith gin, St. George Basil Eau de Vie, Lillet Blanc, and extra virgin olive oil. Partners Glenn Deutsch and Eric and Audrey Fosse say they’re weaving modern techniques into classic supper-club fare, and Fosse calls the result “exceptional.”" - Ashok Selvam
