Chicago’s Best Seafood Restaurants

"Asador Bastian, from the husband-and-wife duo of Doug Psaltis and Hsing Chen, was one of Chicago’s biggest restaurants openings of 2023, a two-level Spanish restaurant that imports beef and seafood from Spain. The dimly lit space sports exceptional service, and while the “boutique” beef grabs headlines, the fish is just as delicious. Look for specials, but the core menu includes greats like sole amandine and turbot, all expertly prepped with a hint of smoke from the grill. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
