My favorite restaurant🤍🍽️🖤

Guys this is, in my opinion, one of the BEST restaurants in chicago in EVERY aspect 🫶 The ambience is amazing, the music is amazing, the food is amazing, and you’re paying for quality, not just to have it LOOK good but taste mid, which is the most important thing to me. I’ve gone to restaurants where you pay hundreds of dollars for overpriced dressed up garbage, this place is NOT one of them! The bill for the meal in the post came out to a little under $200 for both of us, and everything we had was 10/10 SO GOOD🖤

🌃WHAT TO ORDER TO HAVE THE FOOD IN THE PICS:

🍽️the oysters: “oysters two ways”

-make sure you get the fried ones with caviar because they have raw as well, but the fried are so light and fluffy and not fishy at all! + the caviar is the PERFECT topping and the sauce is amazing too

🍽️”grilled octopus”:

-if you’ve never had octopus you might think this looks gross, but i promise you it just tastes like regular meat such as chicken, not fishy. If you do want to try octopus, this would be the place to try it!

🍽️”Deconstructed Pastitsio” (truffle pasta)

-this is by far my favorite thing on the menu. It’s pasta with cheese sauce with fresh black truffles and wagyu steak shredded on top and it’s TO DIE FOR. The taste of the truffles + wagyu together is excellent and the portion is perfect so you won’t be overfilled when you’re done.

🍽️”lobster linguini”

-Not pictured but also one of my favorites on the menu, this was pretty filling though so if you’re looking for something more than the dish above, this is the way to go.

🍽️”orange syrup cake”

-This was pretty good but the vanilla custard and kaitafi was my favorite part of it. Kaitafi is a greek dessert similar to the middle eastern knafeh and baklava (the stringy stuff with pistachios on top)

-the crunchiness of it along with the gourmet custard was amazing
