This will actually be my first time in Chicago. Of course will try to go to Alinea, any other recommendations/tips are highly appreciated please! Thanks in advance!
I actually found both Grace and Alinea to be overrated. Alinea is a lot of fun from a presentation standpoint, but the food wasn't mindblowing. Grace was just a disappointment overall - but the way things ended there certainly didn't go well. The only other fine dining I have had is Tru, which is fantastic but is also closing.
So yeah...I got nothin' for you. But the mid-tier dining options I have had are quite excellent...so I have no doubt you'll find something tasty
