Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Uptown

Best bread service, fried green tomatoe salad, and all the entrees are the best! Service is top notch!

My favorite restaurant in all of Chicago. Consistently fantastic. The crispy veggie egg rolls, chicken dumplings, signature fried rice, and shaking beef are musts. The cocktail program could use some TLC but the food is so good it doesn’t matter.

We did the Chef’s counter experience and what an experience it was! Chef Rishi explained each dish with the same passion that he uses to create them. The mole that he has perfected over years is the best mole I’ve ever had, and I’ve eaten in Mexico. Can’t wait to go back and watch both Chef Zubair and Chef Rishi working their magic together!

Our night was so enjoyable, and it started with our server. He was personable, helpful and good humored. The cocktails are creative, I had the Japantown and loved it. Very original, very refreshing. We shared the garlic fried rice, brussels sprouts, fire chicken and steak kalbi. Every bit of it was delicious. Truly, could not have been happier with the experience.

Incredible food - the beef tartare was zesty and delicious, beef short ribs had body but could still be cut by a butter knife, and the oat financier dessert was a delightful, lightly salty, perfectly balanced dessert - all incredible. The beef short ribs had some of the best umami flavor I've ever had thanks to the roasted puree (I think celery?) they put on the dish. Great drinks as well, try the Bella & Beatrice if you like gin at all.
