Fine Dining Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“I was fortunate to enjoy dinner at Indienne with my team, and the entire experience was exceptional. The food, service, and ambiance were all outstanding from start to finish.

What impressed me most was how unique and innovative the cuisine was. As someone who enjoys Indian food, I was delighted to experience flavors, presentations, and combinations that were completely new to me. This is exactly what I expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant, an experience that goes beyond a great meal and introduces diners to something memorable and unexpected.

The service was attentive, professional, and warm, while the elegant atmosphere made the evening even more enjoyable. In a city like Chicago, which is truly a paradise for food lovers, Indienne stands out as a remarkable culinary destination.

I look forward to returning in the future and experiencing another unforgettable meal. Highly recommended.“

“What an amazing experience, will be back.“

“A very creative kitchen serves up surprising dishes in every course, even dessert, where many restaurants just go through the motions. They also serve up cocktails that you are not likely to see anywhere else. What comes as no surprise, is that they are a Michelin starred restaurant.“

“What makes Cariño special for vegetarians is the intention behind every dish. The team clearly does more than “remove the meat”; they rethink each course so the vegetarian version has its own personality and depth. Thoughtful use of seasonal produce, umami-rich elements, and bright, layered sauces means you never feel like you're getting a compromise.“

“We had a fantastic dinner here. Delicious, and I really liked being able to try the different cuts of meat to understand them better. Great flavor profiles!! Staff were attentive, professional and answered all sorts of questions I asked! I did enjoy the wine pairing with the meals, was not too much.“

“I went for dinner and this was one of my favorite meals ever. A few specific comments:
1. The anything but wine pairing was unique and fun
2. The meal was incredibly filling. I had to pack one of the deserts to go :)
3. Michael was awesome. He projected his voice really well when explaining the courses which helped me hear
4. I love the menu setup of crispy/delicate and cold/hot. It’s creative and innovative
5. I think the sea scallop was my favorite, but it’s tough to choose just one dish. The crumpet that came with the scallop was addictive too.
6. They paired malort with one of my dishes on request which was awesome

If you’re on the fence about booking, do it!“

“I love that Kendall remembers and reminds graduates to visit. Thank you for all the alumnae newsletters and information.“

“I had dinner at The Capital Grille in Chicago last night, and it was an outstanding experience. I ordered the surf and turf, featuring a ribeye steak and lobster tail, and both were absolutely delicious. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right, and the lobster tail was fresh, succulent, and complemented the steak beautifully.

The service was attentive and professional, and the atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a top-notch steakhouse experience in Chicago, I highly recommend The Capital Grille. I will definitely be back!“

“Omg this was incredible. Why are you reading this, go book a reso now.“

“Chef Devon and his team are phenomenal hosts. The meal prepared by Chef was a 5 star experience. I would highly recommend trying Loon if you haven’t yet.“

“Food overall was up to Michelin standard. Really liked the king crab with it sauce, can literally lick of all the sauce if I weren’t in a fine dining restaurant. The soup at first was quite ordinary until I get a taste of the nuggets/ jelly of golden honey which was excellent. Didn’t like the crack maize snow, although it tasted good hated how it sticks to your tongue…….the dessert is very gimmick they do a modern art style of painting on the table and you just directly eat off the table like a kid not sure is hygienic but sure is fun to be like a kid once in a while. The rest of the dishes is just your usual fine dining taste of food. Also like their non-alcoholic pairing, they are quite interesting that makes you feel you are not missing out when you can’t drink alcohol. Service wise is a mix feeling, some staff are more professional and friendly than the others. Atmosphere wise comfortable seatings, loved their restrooms with Japanese wash-let. Price wise is a bit over priced compared to other similar restaurants.“

“Initially we had a few issues. The room wasn’t ready and the kids were fussy and tired but the hotel gave us free deserts in the restaurant Adorn. They were amazing. The customer service was excellent. We finally got to our beautiful room with spectacular views and were very happy but the kids stuff that we requested wasn’t there. They again made up for it and went over and beyond. The kids loved getting an ice cream party, robes and treats. Four Seasons is an outstanding hotel. We will definitely be back. We’ve been home for 2 days and the kids already want to go back!“

“The first thing I noticed was how engaging the hostess was. We were seated upstairs and we loved the feel of privacy there. Our server was Blake a conscientious young man. I informed him that this was our first visit and he walked us through the menu and specials. We order various cuts of steak and one chicken meal. The sides were Brussels spouts, Lobster Mac and cheese and broccoli. The drinks were apple martini and lemon drops both served on dry ice and was quite the presentation! Every entree was delicious and served with the perfect temperature. We don’t live in the city of Chicago so driving down for over an hour to Mastro’s was worth it!“
