Make Your Reservation Now for Momotaro – West Loop, Chicago
Momotaro has everything you could ever want in a Japanese restaurant, a sushi bar, robata station, izakaya and an extensive sake, wine and drink menu. Great attention is paid the interior design bringing Western influences from the mid-century and combing it with traditional Japanese. You can see this reflected in the furniture, fonts used for […]

Minimalist in design with a nice play between steel, wood and glass in this intimate restaurant. Having a Michelin star and winning many a James Beard Foundation awards does not make a cheap meal this is why I suggest the prix fixe lunch menu and this week the Restaurant Week menu for $22. Excellent service […]

The team behind Wood, one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago, recently opened the Spanish inspired Salero in the West Loop. This is not a purist take on Basque cuisine, there are no tapas on the menu (these can be found at that bar only) and this is a Chicago take on Spanish food but […]

La Sirena Clandestina feels cozy yet open with large front windows that allow the morning light to come streaming in. There is not shortage of rustic wood highlighted by brick and teal walls. The stools, netted light fixtures and mermaid artwork give it a retro vibe. I love a classic American breakfast but La Sirena […]

As a fan of Girl and the Goat (I wrote about my last trip here) I had wanted to try out Little Goat since it opened in late December. We arrived at just before 2pm on a cold March Friday and it was packed. Luckily there were two seats at the diner bar waiting just […]

Stepping into Au Cheval I instantly thought, “If Maude’s Liquor Bar had a boyfriend, this would be it”. French, cozy, dark, and mysterious. Not necessarily the words that come to mind when you think of a diner. The only thing in common with a diner is the floor plan; long counter with bar stools facing […]
