"You might already be familiar with S.K.Y in Pilsen, a fantastic restaurant that feels like a sexy basement. Apolonia, a mostly Mediterranean restaurant, is from the same team. Unlike S.K.Y., Apolonia is bright and airy, with tall windows and high ceilings. There are dishes like mussels on toast, buttery truffle puff bread, and fiorentini topped with a rich pork sugo. McCormick Place isn’t known for having a plethora of upscale restaurants in its vicinity, but this is where you can have a fun dinner with your coworkers after a conference, or catch up with visiting family who spent the day touring the Museum Campus." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
