"It’s never hard to get a last-minute table at Marisol - maybe because this place is hiding out in the Museum of Contemporary Art. The food here is excellent, and totally worth dealing with the hordes of tourists crossing Michigan Avenue to get to Water Tower Place. You’ll find dishes like sunflower seed hummus, housemade pastas, and a fried quail with date honey that tastes like fancy chicken and waffles. Just try to leave before the shoppers’ mass exodus out of the nearby parking garages." - adrian kane
