We dined here on a recent visit and left delighted. The atmophere is hip without the attitude, the music was lounge without the electronica, the lighting subduded and the service wonderful and unobtrusive. Contrary to some of the reviews, we loved the food - it was suprising. It's a really nice change from the many bistro and steak places in Chicago. The roasted beet salad was wonderful (the salt perfect!) and the lobster spring rolls were multi-layered and came with delicious dollops of vanilla foam. I wished we would have had more time to hang out in the cool bar and I would definitely come back to try the sushi bar. This would also be a good place if you're looking for vegetarian fare. All in all, an outstanding and relaxing experience with helpful knowledgeable servers. Try it!

Pros: ambiance, service, food, vegetarian choices

Cons: centrally located, but not near much else

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Try the Metrosexual, a classic martini served on a tray with sample-sized skin-care products and a certificate for a free manicure. Or sample a flight of "tiny 'tinis," five different martinis served with two small bites.
