New American
Venetian plaster walls and tables so generously spaced you forget the rest of Chicago exists set the scene at Curtis Duffy's fine dining room on Fulton Market. The cooking is visually precise, multi-textured, and structured like architecture you're meant to eat. Service is choreographed without feeling clinical. A spirit-free pairing option runs alongside the wine program, and the attached cocktail bar, After, is there when you're not ready to go home. Two Michelin stars and an AAA Five Diamond.
