Chantal: Try the lobster mash potato as a side , it's amazing!!!

Time Out Chicago: The martini is shaken with dry ice so it bubbles like a cauldron, steaks come out perfectly medium-rare & a signature side of lobster mashed potatoes is comically indulgent. http://tmoutchi.us/10esgeQ Read more.

Christopher Marty: If you don't already know it, the largest collection of American whiskey on the planet in the truly gorgeous Whiskey Library. Now over 250 different bottles. This is why you live in Chicago.

Time Out Chicago: Try the squid-ink gnocchi in carrot broth from our 100 Best list: Chef Giuseppe Tentori is first and foremost an Italian & where he really shines is with pastas such as this rich yet delicate gnocchi.
