"Filled with greenery, the stark-white dining room at Comune feels straight out of a Scandinavian design catalog. It’s always a solid choice for a date night, and the plant-based menu is a pretty big departure from traditionally meat-heavy Midwestern restaurants. Dishes are always rotating in and out, but expect things like caramelized sunchokes with mushroom jus, ramp-stuffed rigatoni in a yellow curry sauce, or a watermelon carpaccio that visually mimics meat but has all the brightness of summer. There’s a standout list of natural wines, along with creative cocktail options like a thai basil martini or pisco mixed with kumquat and lychee. " - erin edwards, kindra peach
