Description
You've forgotten all about this place, or you never really had it on your radar. That's fair. But this regal dining room, sparkling chandeliers and all, is waking up and hoping to return to the top of Chicago's restaurant scene. To that end, executive chef Nick Sutton has padded his winter menu with duck confit ravioli with cherry puree; cocoa nib crusted sturgeon with roasted heirloom squash; and venison leg with parsnip-pear puree, dishes creative and seasonal enough to draw a crowd that was born long after this spot's heyday.
