Elevated experience with amazing food. The service was not as elevated as I would have anticipated but the timing and level of attention to the food and pairings were perfect.

Sepia is literally my favorite restaurant. Every course is fresh and uniquely created. The staff is all top notch and pays full attention to diners. This is the definition of a Michelin starred restaurant.

Sepia was BEYOND AMAZING!! This was our first trip to Chicago and we made sure to add hitting this restaurant to our list. Our server, my memory is terrible but I want to say Jordan, was wonderful! He always checked in after every meal and took the time to explain the meal or even the history behind it. It was close to closing, if not passed, and he still offered us to get another round of drinks. We didn't feel rushed AT ALL. Our meals came out in a good timely manner, we never waited too long between each dish as it was perfect amount of time for the food to settle to make room for more. There was always someone around to clear our dishes and fill our waters. Everyone worked so well together it was so nice to see! Everyone was SO sweet and the place was gorgeous. We did the four course meal for a party of two, we feel the price was worth EVERY penny and do I even have to say it? The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Their drinks were also very good, my husband said his old fashion was the best he has ever had and the best dang margarita lives up to its name! This was an experience we will always remember! We recommended to visit this place when visiting Chicago and we will DEFINITELY be back!! You guys did a FANTASTIC JOB making it a night to remember! Compliments to you all!!! No, I do not mind you using my response at all! Thank you!!

An absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked in with the hosts, the server and the entire serving staff the service experience goes down as one of our best. We had the Chefs Experience with the wine pairing and enjoyed every bite and sip. I recommend it to all and look forward to attending again.

Sepia is one of our favorites. Not only great, creative food, but also a manageable 4-course tasting menu, generous wine pours and good variety among the choices on the menu. And you can carry on a civilized conversation without yelling! The older we get, the more important the noise level becomes.

Absolutely wonderful. The food was fabulous, and the staff accommodated all our requests and went above and beyond.
I don't think I took a bite of anything that was like nothing I have ever eaten before. At this price point, I want to have stars in my eyes at everything that hits my tongue. It simply was not that. Wines were good. Service and ambiance were lovely.

My party of 3 had a nice evening at Sepia. We went with the 4 course option which was a sufficient amount of food. The amuse bouche was delicious! Most of the dishes were really good. My favorite was the Crispy Cream Cheese Gnudi. The Stuffed Chicken Wing was weird. It didn’t taste like chicken at all and the texture was surprisingly strange. The Scallop and Sweet Potato was almost perfection but the smoked trout roe was tough to chew. I’ve had smoked trout roe multiple times and never was it hard to chew like these were. The Rohan Duck Breast had good flavor, but one of the 2 dishes didn’t have the best quality meat. The guest struggled to chew it. The Beef Short Rib dish was very well thought out. I loved the complex flavors but expected the meat to be more tender. The server said it cooked for 48 hours but I could hardly get the knife to cut through it. Once cut, I was able to chew it okay. 2 of the 3 guests enjoyed the dessert. I had the Caramelized Apple Mille-Feuille and it was amazing! The other 2 guests had the Sticky Toffee Pudding. One loved it and the other didn’t. She expected it to be similar to what she had in London but it was very different. To drink, I had the “Best Dang Marg in Town”. Although it was good, the large chunk of ice took up most of the glass. For $22, there really wasn’t much to drink and for that reason, it’s not the “Best Dang Marg in Town”. There was quite a bit of wait between each course and it took about 2 hours for the entire meal. We choose to park in the garage across the street. Although pricey, it was very convenient and we didn’t want to walk far in the cold weather. However, there’s street parking and more affordable options nearby. It was really nice trying Sepia and we were satisfied with the food for the most part. With that said, I do think the price-point is too high for what we got.

Everything about this place was amazing. The staff were knowledgeable, kind, very attentive. We had a reservation for 3 (expecting a $700+ bill after everything is said and done) with wine tasting and cocktails before dinner. We ended up having to wait about 35-45 minutes to be seated, which was really no big problem, but the restaurant paid for our entire bill for them having us wait. The portions are very generous and we were all extremely full by the end of all the samplings. Squab, oysters, fish, and rib were our favorites, along with the lovely deserts. 100% recommend if this place fits your plans and budget
