Experience
The 3 Arts Club Café is a real garden party. Operating inside the garden courtyard of RH Chicago—a historic Gold Coast building reimagined as a 70,000-square-foot design gallery—this restaurant serves a classic brunch and dinner alongside a curated wine selection, supported by an on-site wine vault.
Experience
A reimagined Fulton Market steakhouse blending global flavors and modern flair, Adalina Prime is led by chefs Soo Ahn and Nemanja Milunović. It’s a design-forward restaurant with lush greenery, gold accents and a two-story wine cellar.
Experience
Is Bavette’s a go-to recommendation of Esrock? Well, yes. This a chic twist on the traditional steakhouse, combining French elegance with a relaxed, fun atmosphere, plus elegant cocktails and a carefully selected international wine list.
Our Recommendation
Lyonnaise Salad: this is a pivot from the classic ribeye steak frites or baked crab cakes, and it’s a real balancing act of flavor—featuring thick strips of bacon, soft-boiled egg, bitter greens and vinaigrette.
Experience
With its cool 1960s Parisian-inspired drinks and French wine list, this establishment can make any evening swanky and hip. Try the cocktail menu, “In Celebration of the Martini.”
Our Recommendation
Alaska: a bold freezer martini featuring Broker’s Gin, Barr Hill Old Tom and Heirloom Genepy.
Experience
Get inspired by the lively flavors of Peruvian Cuisine or by the lovely rooftop atmosphere. This is a family-style restaurant and social drinking destination.
Our Recommendation
Goat Empanadas: flaky, buttery, savory—no one can want for more. This menu staple is served with huacatay mayo for a little kick.
