A Guide To Chicago’s “Super Cute Reasonably Priced Restaurants To Catch Up With A Few Friends” - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Cellar Door’s minimalist look and warm lighting makes it a great spot for a relaxed dinner to offset any drama that you and your friends need to dump. Whether that includes stories about Martha from accounting stealing the LaCroix from the fridge or how someone keeps knocking over their garden gnomes, you all can decompress with some glasses of natural wine and tasty small plates. Cellar Door’s tight menu changes almost daily based on whatever seasonal ingredients are hanging out in their kitchen, but you can expect dishes like lamb tartare with pickled cherries on crusty sourdough or plump scallops with savory mussel broth. And if you see pasta, get it—it’s always excellent." - adrian kane, john ringor
