A for sure “if you know you know” place. I wanna give a special recognition to the their staff who are all delightful. They are super knowledgeable and very friendly. Especially Jackie who help me cut the line this Xmas season in a mad house when I only needed one item. Pays to be a regular. Also sometimes they will be hosting local vendors which we love to see.

Sepia is an exquisite restaurant that offers a memorable dining experience. The staff was attentive and courteous, and they made us feel special by acknowledging our move as per our OpenTable notes. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, and she even shared some of her favorite places near our new home with us after our meal. The food was outstanding and full of flavors. We enjoyed trying new dishes and ingredients that we had never tasted before. The food transported us to a different world and we will be raving about it for a long time.

One more huge shout out to Erin. Best server we’ve had in a long time.

Fireside Bowl is more than just a bowling alley. It’s a legendary venue for punk rock in Chicago. I’ve been going there since the 90s, when they started hosting shows by local and touring bands. The place has a gritty and authentic vibe, with graffiti on the walls, stickers on the lanes, and cheap beer at the bar. The sound system is loud and raw, just like the music. The crowd is always energetic and passionate, moshing and singing along to every song. The staff is friendly and supportive of the scene, letting anyone book a show or play there.

It’s truly iconic.

I don’t know where to begin… great atmosphere and service per expectations. The tasting menu though?! The starter Poached King Salmon Salad with
young coconut, trout roe and peanut was one of the best things I have ever eaten period. Let alone tonight. The true stars ( other than seeing the chef and having Andrew wave at me) were the Pumpkin & Goat Cheese Tamale
With a pasilla-piloncillo sauce and pepitas as well as the main dish of Smoked Prime Short Rib with a mole coloradito, black bean and charred onion. Mole ice cream also an absolute must. I hope to one day be able to be a diner of Sepia, their sister Michelin Star restaurant. But this was quite the introduction to Chef Andrew. I can’t stress enough how important it is to visit this restaurant if you’ve never been. Can not preach on a higher podium.
