Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in West Town

Food is always really good here. This time the service felt rushed - perhaps due to Restaurant Week. On more than one occassion an individual (different one each time) was still working on the current course when plates started being cleared and new plates provided or the next course was served. It was not a pleasant experience.

Our experience at Fioretta was excellent. We chose to attend during Restaurant Week to enjoy their menu. We loved every single part of our visit. The service was impeccable, particularly by our wait staff. Julian went above and beyond to ensure that we had an excellent dining experience. The food was excellent and truly a fantastic offering for Restaurant Week. Highly recommend visiting for a stellar meal in Chicago.

We came in for Chicago restaurant week. The staff was courteous, attentive, and very friendly! As someone with professional fine dining experience, I can speak with confidence when I say that experience was worth every penny. All of the dishes were unique and I know I’ll be bragging about my time at Rose Mary for weeks to come!

Helpful and friendly staff willing to go the extra mile to make it an enjoyable experience. Food was amazing with a great ambiance. Will definitely go back.

Akahoshi is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the warmth of the staff, the ambience, and the smell of the most delicious ramen you will experience in Chicago - or maybe anywhere! I was seated at the counter facing the kitchen and it was a marvel to watch each bowl put together with such care and attention. The drinks are fantastic - from cocktails to smooth sake, and the food… I’ll be dreaming of it from now until the next time I’m able to come in. The flavors & textures present your mouth with a WORLD of excitement and comfort. Everything about Akahoshi feels intentional and carefully done. Not to mention, everyone who works here is kind, attentive, but not overbearing or pushy in the slightest, allowing you to savor every minute of your experience. I could go on and on forever, but you just have to come see for yourself!!
