"Blackbird: In many ways, an acclaimed restaurant that opened in 1997 may seem like old news, but chef/owner Paul Kahan continues to enliven this Windy City original with fresh talent and new flavor. The interior is small but packed, right down to the last lunchtime bar stool. Everything feels glossy and white, accented with high-back leather banquettes and orange place mats that pop with color at the bar. Service is sharp, busy and handling it all very well. Lunch is an astounding bargain." - The MICHELIN Guide
