Best Jacket-Required Dining
Alinea
Other nominees: Charlie Trotter’s, Everest, Spiaggia, TRU
It’s ironic that the only conventional aspect of this restaurant—its jacket requirement—would score Alinea an Eat Out Award. What elevates Alinea to a dining destination unlike any other in Chicago (or the world, for that matter)? We can thank the sum of its many unique parts: designer Martin Kastner’s sculptural tableware, sommelier Joe Catterson’s unfailingly accurate wine pairings and chef Grant Achatz’s norm-shattering dishes, such as black-truffle ravioli served alongside a smoldering oak branch to impart extra earthiness. 1723 N Halsted St, 312-867-0110.

Same comment as another article. 20 pages (or more) shows total disrespect for site visitors. I was about to recommend this site to some discussion groups I am on but it is not going to happen now. What are you folks thinking?
Naha is so expensive! I went there and could not believe how expensive both the food and wine were!
Gee, can you make it any more difficult to view your webpage? I won't be back.
