"Unless you have tickets to Hamilton, there aren’t many reasons to stay in the Loop after you’re done with work, which means it’s generally deserted on weeknights and weekends. Because of this, you can count on getting a table at Fisk & Co. last-minute. Their specialty is mussels, which come in a variety of different broths (like white wine or green curry), and the rest of the menu is seafood-focused as well, with raw bar selections and entrees like a prosciutto-wrapped bass. In fact, this place is worth visiting even if you’re not already downtown." - adrian kane
