While Chicago is known as a really busy city, that doesn’t mean that you can’t take time from the busy life and step into a nice restaurant and enjoy some of your evening. With so many different choices out there one doesn’t even know where to begin. That’s where this list comes in handy. These are some of the most impressive restaurants that you will want to check out. Just remember impressive doesn’t always mean expensive and elegant and sometimes it does.
Keefer’s
Voted one of the top 10 steakhouses in the US, you know this is a place you should visit. They offer many different steaks including a 22 ounce T-bone. They offer many other dishes as well; steak is not your only option. Sea scallops and Maine lobster are some of your other choices. They have an entire list of things that their wonderful chef can prepare. Keefers is also certified green meaning they use as much local produce and organic items as possible. This restaurant is something that should make your list of places to dine at.
Wildfire
Their name is a perfect example of how they prepare their food. Most of your food is not cooked in the traditional oven setting as with most restaurants. They prepare their food over wood fired ovens and spit roasters. Using these items in food preparation gives your food a unique flavor that can not be duplicated with spices. Wildfire is reasonably priced for the quality of food you receive. Some of their popular dishes include Augratin potatoes, lemon pepper chicken and blue cheese crusted filet.
Park Grill
If you’re looking for something a little more friendly in atmosphere and a little easier on the pocket book, then this is the place to be. They are located in Millennium Park and offer the largest outdoor seating in the area. You can choose to sit inside or outside on a nice day. That’s what gives this place its local charm. They make the best burgers around town, which is why most people dine here. Because of the location this place is loud, no matter if you’re seated inside or out, so be prepared for this. But there again, because of the location you have some of the best views of the city.
Bombay Spice
If you like Indian food then this should be at the top of your list. They offer classic Indian food with a modern twist. The Indian food that they serve is still healthy but it tastes much better. If you like Indian food but you’re a little board of the same items offered, then you now have yet another reason why you should visit this place. Some of their featured dishes include chicken tikka, lentil cakes and grilled lamb chops. They also have a list of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan friendly dishes to try and please just about everyone.
