Food scene
3472 North Elston Ave Chicago 60618
A nearby culinary gem that will blow-up in recognition in the future.
This is a place for celebrations, like Thursday evening. A little bit about me. I avoid corn, and dairy like the plague. The front of house called me the day of my reservation and walked through my specific food restrictions. I felt so special and so catered to in the price fixe menu, 4 course. I felt it was many more courses. They adjusted each course to be a version of wonderful. It started with an amuse bouche. You will feel like an understated king/queen in this approachable setting.

I love this place. It is walkable from Cozy Concrete with delicious sandwiches, Cuban coffee and churros. Our faves on the weekend are yuca fries and plantains. Consistent and a great neighborhood staple.

A magnificent fountain and gateway to Chicago. It was featured in the opening to Married with children and in many iconic Chicago films. The spray of the fountain is most welcome on a warm day.
