Bellemore is Another Boka Group Standout and More Reviews | Eater Chicago

"Led by chef Jimmy Papadopoulos, I find Bellemore delivers a string of memorable plates: a grilled vegetable soup—an update on classic Italian ribollita—that is both light and powerful, the kind of thing that could wake you from a coma; a venison tartare that fulfills the primal, life-affirming craving raw flesh is supposed to satisfy; and razor clams, deep fried and served with razor clam ceviche and sweet potato fritters, as if they came from a New England clam shack that fell from the sky over northern Spain. Among entrees a lush piece of cod with multicolored cauliflower florets, roasted hazelnuts, and grilled radicchio is a master class in acidity dancing gracefully with fat, and for dessert Allison Schroeder scores with a lemongrass semifreddo topped with makrut lime granite." - Jeffy Mai
