Oh my god, it’s Restaurant Week! Everything grinds to a halt as we spend the next 7 days eating constantly! Right? Either way, if you’re still not sure where to go, editorial opinions on where the best deals and the best dishes can be found are all over the place.
• Start by revisiting our picks, which include a hearty endorsement for the multivarious options available at David Burke’s Primehouse (especially at lunchtime), and the hefty lunchtime discount at Texas de Brazil. Get your truffle on at dinner time with One Sixtyblue’s menu, or go the seafood route at C-House.
• The Tribune recommends some serious options, including a beefy meal at Morton’s, The Steakhouse (Wacker location only), or a real tropical getaway at Joe’s Stone Crab — soup, five medium stone-crab claws, and a slice of Key lime pie.
• Time Out Chicago heartily endorses using Restaurant Week as an excuse to check out the sort of super-high-end places that are reserved for birthdays, anniversaries, and expense accounts: NoMI, Topolobampo, and Naha, among others.
As always, you can make all your Restaurant Week reservations via OpenTable, or you can call the restaurants directly. Menus are always subject to change, so if you’re heart is set on a certain parsnip puree (for example), drop a line to double check before your book your table. Bon appetit!
