Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Hanson Park

Amazing restaurant with special staff! Don’t sleep on the crab hand rolls or black cod miso.

Micheal our server went above and beyond to make my husband and I feel special during a very luxurious lunch to celebrate his 60th birthday. We tried Eve egg luxury bite and loved them all. The wagyu tartar and king crab and potato skin w caviar were our favorites. Oysters were stellar! Beet and apple salad was a refreshing bridge between our small bites and steak with lobster tail. And the au gratin potatoes and mushroom sides were each beyond outstanding.

Service was outstanding, especially considering our reservation was at 9pm and the staff was working the dinner service for many hours. Unbelievably service oriented. Food was exceptional, as always. The place was packed, and as a result the decibel level was high. It was expensive, but we really enjoyed being taken care of on the night before Valentine’s Day.

Beautiful atmosphere and decor with incredible views. House music played in the background, the bar is gorgeous and the people are here to see and be seen. Thankfully, the food and service stands up to the see and be seen portion of this experience. Service was amazing, our server was warm, friendly, happy to make suggestions, and funny. We really enjoyed her. The food was delicious - panzanella salad "like summer in a bowl" followed by the wild boar ragu (divinely rich and silky) and then a filete di manzo with parmesan roasted fennel and smashed potatoes. The steak is smoky, with a nice crust on the outside but rare, sweet and tender on the inside. At first, we had FOMO over the pasta, thinking we should have ordered two pastas. Once we had tiramisu for dessert (which was impossibly creamy and rich), we were glad we didn't order a 2nd pasta because we were so full. We ate very well and laughed about it as we rolled out of the St Regis to the car. We had the Blanco Bianco Amargo, a tequila/mezcal drink, and it was divinely crafted with a lovely finish. Everything here is well thought out and carefully executed. I asked our server to surprise me with a glass of red wine suitable for the pasta and steak. She gave me a Barbera, which worked well with the intense richness of the boar and beef. This is a romantic atmosphere, with lots of space and service is such that it allows privacy and the staff understand that. Highly recommend the experience for a date night!

Andros Taverna is such a great spot to get Greek food that has a really nice flare to it. There are lots of Greek places in Chicago that are really casual. At Andros, everything is really fresh, and all of the dishes have a good little elevation to them that makes them feel very authentic, but also really exciting. The space is really well done. It's nice enough that you feel fine dressing up and having a fancy date, but cool enough that you can come in a tshirt and jeans. It's a great balance. Our service was really fantastic. The host greeted us really warmly and took us straight to our table, and our server walked us through everything, and did just the right amount of checking in on us and paying attention to when we might need more drinks or be interested in some additional dishes.
