"Obelix is located in a quieter part of River North where you can have an upscale date night in relative serenity. It's a French spot from the same team as Le Bouchon, and they have a fusion-y menu with good, creative dishes like the steak tartare with shio kombu and a surprisingly delicious foie gras taco. And while the dining room is filled with white tablecloths and looks like a Swiss chalet, it's not stuffy—the space is busy and upbeat thanks to friendly servers and an energetic hip-hop soundtrack." - adrian kane, john ringor
