Best Fine Dining in Medinah

"Restaurants Contemporary American Lincoln Park. Culinary mastermind Grant Achatz uses his three-Michelin-star restaurant in Lincoln Park as a stage. Sit back and enjoy the show, a well-orchestrated ride that plays with textures, temperatures and notions of “normal” cuisine, while somehow remaining grounded in season, flavor and flawless execution."

"Alinea is probably the most important restaurant on this list!. It’s one of only a handful of restaurants in the U.S. to hold the coveted Michelin 3-Star rating. It’s been named ‘Best Restaurant in America’ three times."

"The Peninsula hotel’s swanky Chinese restaurant presents skyline views and upscale versions of classic dishes. Dim sum it up with crab shumai and lobster and chicken dumplings with black truffle or feast on dinner specials like shredded duck in XO sauce and wok-fried scallops in black truffle sauce. The prices may seem high compared to other places, but the quality of the food is undeniable."

"If you want to feel like you’ve secured tickets for the last rocket ship leaving Earth, consider making a reservation at Next. This place is owned by the Alinea folks, but unlike Alinea, Next has three different themed tasting meals every year (e.g. Ancient Rome, Hollywood, and Alinea 2005-2010, because why not). Tickets tend to sell out as soon as they’re released."

"Next restaurant offers family-style meals that change weekly. You can also choose to add a cocktail kit from The Aviary."

"Celebrate a special occasion or simply relish a perfect dinner in the chic atmosphere at Chicago’s upscale steakhouse, The Capital Grille.

"LoopA Chicago steakhouse with enticing vegetarian optionsYou’re probably thinking a steakhouse is no place for a plant-based diner, but Prime & Provisions offers a variety of hearty starters like the butternut squash soup or shaved Brussels sprouts salad with butternut squash, wild rice, fresno chilis, ricotta salata, and tahini vinaigrette. Opt for the blackened cauliflower steak with roasted garlic for your main course. It’s given the same TLC as the other steaks on the menu."

"A Chicago institution, adored by the seafood-loving citizens of this town, Eddie V’s certainly delivers on the “prime seafood” part of its name. Sourcing its seafood from locations as far afield as Nantucket, New Brunswick, and the South Pacific, this is a place to try seafood at its best. As you can see from our picture, the dish of Nantucket Scallops with Gnocchi is a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach."

Despite being a Chicago native, Chef Anthony spent a part of his life on his grandfather's farm in Italy, soaking up anything and everything about the "Italian way." It was this experience that secured Sapori's success a couple of years later, despite a rocky beginning. Today, Sapori Trattoria is well loved for the juxtaposition of their upscale food within a decidedly casual setting."

"Restaurants Italian Lincoln Park. As Lincoln Park’s go-to Italian joint for all occasions—whether it be a first date or an anniversary celebration—it’s easy to get the impression that people are coming here out of habit. In fact, Chicagoans are attracted to the warm, homey room and the housemade pastas like spaghetti with veal meatballs and fennel-flecked Italian sausage, or sumptuous gnocchi paired with a lively pesto sauce."

"A cozy Italian restaurant that serves up classic dishes done gourmet-style in a warm old-world atmosphere, Sapori creates beloved recipes using fresh ingredients and a passion for tradition. Everything is in generous portions, because the best restaurants in Chicago make sure you leave with your belly full!. Sapori Trattoria | 2701 N."
