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

"Like Alegrias (also on this guide), Mariscos San Pedro is a casual Mexican spot with outstanding seafood and a beach party atmosphere. Almost every dish at this Pilsen restaurant is shareable, from the ceviches to the tostadas to the DIY taco situation highlighting a perfectly cooked whole fish and chewy housemade tortillas. Get a giant shellfish platter that will feed everyone who shows up, and drink fruity cocktails while the cartoon sea creatures grinning at you from the walls progressively feel like they’re part of the birthday hang. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor
