Additional Information
Beautiful presentations. Each course is described as a different region. My fav dish was the first course which was a custard... that was accompanied by onion gelatin, bread foam, and caviar. The last course is the deconstructed ice cream sundae as seen onTV. Loved when they smash the ice cream. There is also a helium balloon. Be careful not to breathe too much in, small sipsshould be suggested. Great night out, you will walk out of there entertained, with a happy tummy and stuffed. I do have to saysome of the courses were salty and over acidic for my taste. But everyone else enjoyed it. Read more
Sat in the kitchen table with a party of 6. Experience was amazing. Service as top notch. Front of house staff were very real... an not too stuffy. Food was great and very unique but felt it was missing something I can't identify. Would go back if I couldorder certain portions. Not sure it was worth the price and presentations feltslightly over done. Would rate 4.5 if I could. Read more
Amazing experience and incredible food. The most flavorful dishes were the Thai, Japanese, and Mexican inspired dishes. The... French and American dishes were salty, bland, and overly creamy. Dessert was the best part and incorporated many flavors andtextures at once. I recommend getting the wine pairing as well, even if you're not a big fan of wine it is still worth it. Theservice was also perfect. We felt like we could focus on eating without worrying about or asking for anything. The table wascleaned between courses, new silverware brought out and water glasses were constantly full. The staff were friendly, attentiveand made great conversation. The kitchen was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions (vegetarian and no red meat/pork).Overall, this is one of the best of all the Michelin star restaurants we've been to. We were so happy with our experience andlook forward to coming back in a week! Read more
I had high expectations as we saw Chef Grant on a cooking show. We flew to Chicago for the weekend just to visit this... restaurant. The food was very good though not all my style. There were only a few dishes that I really savored. I expectedamazing! Some details were amiss considering they’re a 3 star Michelin restaurant. The staff was very nice but seemed likethey needed more. It was a fun experience, but I don’t think it’s worth the price tag. Michelin restaurants in the US seemsto cost a lot more without much justification. It was very good, just not an all around WOW. Read more

MUST VISIT!! THE HYPE IS REAL I decided to go for my birthday, and I would do it again! We were greeted by a lovely host and led... through the main dining where children were laughing. It was a lighthearted environment. I booked the Salon experience, and itdid not disappoint. The service was terrific. However, they did not put you on a pedestal which I like. We cracked some jokeswith the servers, and the environment was nothing like I’ve ever experienced at any other Michelin restaurant (gone to sixthus far). While the presentation may not be the prettiest, the backstory behind each dish is a full-circle story. The food wasterrific and innovative through an experience that involved more than just taste. Dessert was AMAZING!!!!! It’s an experience.This is a must-visit in Chicago! Read more
