St. Clair Supper Club

"In 2019, Alinea Group created a menu with prime rib and fried fish inspired by Michigan supper clubs which was served exclusively in Roister’s basement. Thus, the St. Clair Supper Club was born. Weingarten says St. Clair and its Midwest kitsch will remain in the basement after Roister’s closure." - Ashok Selvam

"This subterranean dining room is unique in its location, manner and mission. Tucked underneath Roister, it's a sultry and chic reprieve, as guests hand over all decision-making to the team. Celebrating the once popular mid-western "supper club" vibe, St. Clair—also Alinea Group Grant Achatz's birthplace—is furnished with low ceilings, leather banquettes and comfy green chairs.Solo diners head to the bar for a stiff cocktail and slab of prime rib, while larger parties start their meal with smaller bites, like crab cakes and oysters Rockefeller. Prime rib may be the central focus, but sides like "Yorkshire pudding" popovers and caramelized mushrooms with beef balsamic vinegar reduction are comfort to the core. Grasshopper pie completes the classic American feast." - Michelin Inspector

"Then we opened Roister a few years after that, and then St. Clair Supper Club." - Amanda Kludt

"Nick Kokonas, co-owner of Chicago’s Alinea restaurant group, was “beyond angry” to find a Yelp-linked GoFundMe for one of his businesses, St. Clair Supper Club." - Caleb Pershan

"St. Clair Supper Club is a 'charming and enticingly casual' take on the classic Midwestern experience." - Jeffy Mai
