Michelin-starred Indian tasting menu with French technique
"Indienne, an Indian restaurant in River North, definitely falls into the fine dining category. Its large dining room is full of white tablecloths and staff bustling around in crisp jackets, and the menu’s dishes are plated artistically. Right now, Indienne is offering a seven-course tasting menu for $135-$145, which feels affordable in a neighborhood overrun with valets parking rented Lambos. Most of the food has some kind of French twist, so you’ll find things like eclair canapes filled with goat cheese and chutney, malai tikka formed into a terrine and sauced tableside, and a cute little potato pave accompanying the perfectly medium rare lamb chop. Reservations are released 60 days in advance, but the bar area is reserved for walk-ins. There, you’ll most likely find an empty seat or two and can order food off an a la carte menu. Or, if you’re not a gambler and need a guaranteed reservation, be willing to eat before 6pm or after 8pm." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
"A restaurant represented at the party by sommelier Tia Polite, who doled out caviar 'bumps' complemented by giant blocks of Parmesan and bowls of chocolate as part of the tasting stations." - Sam Nelson
"A Chicago restaurant whose chef, Sujan Sarkar, nominated for Best Chef: Great Lakes, anchored his awards-night look with a long, form-fitting blue coat purchased in India as both a cultural nod to his birthplace and a practical, comfortable choice for a hot, humid event, accessorized with a patterned pocket square for a pop of color." - Lisa Shames
