The 26 Best Chicago Restaurants For A Birthday Dinner - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Provaré is a blast. This bright Italian and Creole spot in West Town has an R&B playlist that will remind you of the greatness that is '90s Usher, complimentary shots as soon as you sit down, and food that makes you put your hand up to silence the table so you can have a private moment with the housemade pasta. There are standout dishes like fried lobster tails, creamy chicken parmesan that’s the antidote to your scary Apple news feed, and juicy lamb chops that go perfectly with a side of spicy charred corn. The restaurant is busy but never chaotic, and there’s a good chance the chef will come out to drop off plates and make sure you’re having a good celebration. Plus, there’s a speakeasy hiding behind some very convincing shelves." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor
