It is a place of informal elegance - do not expect white linen.
If you go on Tuesdays you can try this great place for a three course prix fixe of $36, which is great value for money. This level of quality, detail and creativity usually costs more than a $100. (Unfortunately they have discontinued this prix fixe menu).
They serve the most innovative and gorgeous dishes in Chicago at an affordable price.
We liked all the dishes, but some of our favourites are:
-summer roll (gulf shrimp, avocado, asparagus, japanese omelet caper-golden raisin vinaigrette)
-warm baby octopus and fingerling potato salad with smoked parika, prosiutto, preserved lemon, chickpea mousseline
-seared maine skate wing with roasted stuffed zucchini, ratatouille, eggplant caviar, pistachio-caper vinaigrette
-chicken in clay pot (chicken, shimeji mushrooms, eggplant, haricot vert, yuzu juice); this dish was even able to enthuse a young teenager
The waiters are professional, but will make you feel at ease.
