Haven't been. It's "molecular" dining. Not sure it's my thing. Plus it takes 5 hours to eat.

Awesome desserts. We go someplace for dinner then here.

Great wine bar with good food to boot. Where MikeR and I libiated together.
Spiaggia
Chicago
Owner: Tony Mantuano
Amazing. Creative. Stunning. Expensive.
Locals Secret: Cafe Spiaggia next-door rocks for half the price and the gnocchi with Wild Boar ragout are the same. Had it this past Sunday night.

Maybe Chicago's best chef. Leaving in April to open his own place.

We had lousy service and it tainted the whole evening. Me: "How's the Sea Bass?" Waiter: "Seared in the pan, finished in the oven."
