The works of culinary art at this Chicago hot spot look almost too good to eat–almost. Our favorites include squab with charred strawberries on a birch log, and lemon soda custard.
Amazing! The touring menu filled me up as a first-timer. Incredible food, service, drinks!!
Sardine sandwiches floating on titanium antennae, solidified olive oil -- Alinea may well be, and I do not say this lightly, the most important restaurant in America. -- Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods
The beef brisket or lemon cilantro chicken are both great. Portions are pretty generous for toppings.
love the chipotle-style concept for pho! lots of toppings to choose from and even different broths. fried spring rolls are also delicious.
Think Chipotle ordering style but Vietnamese pho. In terms of quality, they keep it authentic and open up a variety of ingredients and sauces for a fair price. Give it a shot, I recommend it.
The beautifully composed broccoli salad at Boka consists of raw, shaved broccoli stems and florets, brightened with preserved lemon and a barely there lemon vinaigrette. Read more.
Being right next door to Alinea can be quite daunting, but Boka does not disappoint. Fantastic service, excellent tasting menu, and at a fraction of the price. Try the Alaskan Halibut.

Best Italian in the city. And make sure to have a lemon sorbetto.
The cardinale chicken and lobster ravioli are delicious; the home-made pasta and sauces are unbelievable! You can't go wrong with the Butternut squash soup, either.
Where do I start? I have never had a bad meal here. Great pastas, fish, desserts... Read more.
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are delicious!
The pretzel croissant breakfast sandwich is delicious and even comes with coffee. All of the parties are wonderful too.
Free WiFi and cute out door patio
This neighborhood trattoria is known for its charming Italian staff and authentic Italian food. Be sure to try one of the nightly specials; they are always delicious. - Inspector
Very large specials menu highlighting the freshness of the food. All the pastas are delicious! Very lively and warm environment.
Awesome Value. Tuesdays they offer Duck L'Orange which is to die for. Their Fish & Frites is light & tasty and their Steak & Frites options are amazing. High quality meat :)

Nature in the city! "Sherman cultivates close relationships with local farmers...(dishes) which change according to what's fresh, delicious and in season." -BlackBook on TripExpert Read more.
Go here for Sunday Brunch. The 3-course Prix Fix is a good deal and you can hardly go wrong with any seafood choices here.
The new chocolate covered blizzard is delicious.
Don't get the blizzard in the waffle cone, kind of disappointing.
No hamburgers!?!
Everything on the menu is AMAZING. Hearty portions for a small price. The Cranberry Gorgonzola salad is a must to start!
It's all about Farfalle Pollo!
Free wifi!
I have yet to find a better sushi place in Chicago. The rolls are reasonably priced and delicious. If you're feeling up for it, the Miami roll is my favorite. The place is BYOB so bring a bottle!
Yummy kiss of fire and lion king roll
Get the falafel sandwich Read more.
Falafel sandwich: Two big pieces of falafel are stuffed into a pita dripping with hummus. For just less than $4, the taste to cost ratio makes this one of the best bargains in the city.
