A table designated for 2, 4 or 6 people.
After looking into Grace, 42 grams and Acadia, a reservation was placed at the latter. Can't wait ^
Grace is my priority for our next visit to Chicago...along with Girl and the Goat! We dined at L20 the night before Alinea and thought it was fantastic, too, so it's a shame it has since closed.
