The Best Restaurants In River North - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Indienne is a fine-dining Indian restaurant from the original chef of Rooh in the West Loop. It has a large dining room full of white tablecloths and staff bustling around in crisp jackets, and the menu’s dishes are plated artistically. You can order a la carte, or a six-course tasting menu for $125-$135, which feels affordable in a neighborhood overrun with valets parking rented Lambos. Most of the food has some kind of French twist, so you’ll find things like eclair canapes filled with goat cheese and chutney, malai tikka formed into a terrine and sauced tableside, and a cute little potato pave accompanying the perfectly medium rare lamb chop. Reservations are released 60 days in advance, but the bar area is reserved for walk-ins. There, you’ll most likely find an empty seat or two and can order food off an a la carte menu. Or, if you’re not a gambler and need a guaranteed reservation, be willing to eat before 6pm or after 8pm." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
