"Ever joined Chicago’s endless parade of renowned tasting-menu spots in 2020. And like Alinea, Esme, and Oriole, this West Loop place is expensive and hard to get into. The $325 10-course tasting ranges from “How did they do that?” to “Oh look, a foam.” You’ll find dishes like shaved and frozen hamachi, and a bunch of other things that are plated with tweezerly love. The food is excellent, and you’ll be treated in the way you expect during a meal that costs as much (or more) than a car payment. If you’re looking for a (very) special occasion spot and have three hours to spend on a fine dining experience, book a table with confidence." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor
