Banquettes, mirrored bulbs, and a room that manages to feel romantic without trying too hard: this is a Michelin-starred modern American restaurant on the North Side that has been doing this long enough to make it look easy. The menu chases seasonal ingredients with real precision, and the cocktail program is worth treating as its own course. Lee Wolen's flagship holds a Michelin star and an AAA Four Diamond rating.

Eater -
Brown butter-toasted Hokkaido scallops
“Brown butter-toasted Hokkaido scallops accompanied by green garlic puree, green strawberry, buckwheat, and an aerated sabayon sauce is particularly skillful.”
Michelin Guide -
House-made ricotta gnocchetti
“Don't sleep on the pasta, especially the house-made ricotta gnocchetti bathed in a rich and creamy sauce and topped with crispy chicken skin and shaved cheese.”
Michelin Guide -
Honey-glazed roasted duck
“His honey-glazed roasted duck — yielding the most lacquered, gossamer-crisp, perfect bite of duck skin in Chicago — is pure culinary prestidigitation.”
