Nothing but the utmost respect for their ingredients. Hands down one of the best sushi restaurants in Chicago.
Momotaro
The most incredible Japanese pancake you can find. And the Okonomoyaki!!!!!!! The best shaved ice dessert I have ever had.
Gaijin
Yes, chef Sarah is renowned for this place. The pasta is of course the star but I’ve also had incredible entrees here for my gluten free finds. Everything is amazing.
Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio
1 of my favorite restaurants. Lyra, hands down, pushes out some of the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. The branzino with the lemon saffron sauce, the spanakopita is only 2 small pieces but you don’t expect it to be that damn good. I’ve taken...
LÝRA
We all know chef is amazing. But this restaurant is above that. The cacio pasta, the tuna, even the sides. And the service here is some of the best in Chicago. (Ask for Johnny the server, tell him I sent you)
Rose Mary
Ok I know I know. Everyone knows about this place. I used to come here at 11pm and get wasted off pickleball shots and follow with the burger. We all know it’s amazing but the BONE MARROW lives in my head. I have tried everything on the menu and have...
Au Cheval
Chef John Manion is a gift to Chicago. He’s an incredible chef and a mastermind at his craft. We don’t deserve him. This is a steakhouse, sure, but brings so much love and flavor to their food. A Chicago staple.
El Che Steakhouse & Bar
The bone marrow dumplings are outrageous. I’ve been eating here for years. I’ve watched their portions get smaller and more expensive, (used to be 5 dumplings now it’s 4) but if you’re ok with it, the food is outrageous. Everything!
Duck Duck Goat
The best Chinese food in Chicago. I’ve spent so many holidays and occasions here, and the food never ever disappoints. A true Chicago staple.
