Contemporary
Chef Stephen Gillanders holds court at a dark Wicker Park counter, sending out a globe-trotting tasting menu that pivots between Filipino, Mexican, Chinese, and Indian without apology—lobster tsukune with smoked pimentón butter lands next to white curry noodles. Dessert pavlovas and a beverage program of real thoughtfulness suggest a kitchen that plays seriously.
