Esme is truly an experience to have. We did the menu and the wine pairing and it was amazing. From the presentation to the food was unbelievable and will definitely do it again as it changes quarterly

Esmé is a bright, airy, and artsy restaurant in Chicago, known for its delightful ambiance and attentive staff. The dishes are beautifully presented and creative, offering surprising flavors and textures that delight customers. Visitors enjoy the unique experience of blending art with cuisine, often featuring a different artist to create a fresh and engaging atmosphere. The abbreviated tasting menu is highly recommended, providing caviar, foie gras, and wagyu beef at an exceptional price, with service that is professional and very friendly. The restaurant is also appreciated for its calm and quiet environment, which is rare in busy dining spots. The food is creative and beautifully plated, often serving as edible art, with many courses delivering strong flavors, although some lean more toward presentation. Service remains excellent, and the atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, making Esmé a standout in Chicago for its creativity, artistry, and top-quality cuisine.
