From the moment you are welcomed into the cozy space by the effervescent and inviting hostess Nina, you get the feeling that you’ve been invited to a private dinner party by people that you’ve known for ever. Nina runs the front of the restaurant plating each of the twelve courses with care and painstaking precision. Chris appears often to describe his inspiration for each dish, often crediting his wife as the source. He is effusive with praise for her talents. The food is fun and perfectly prepared. The textures, colors, temperatures and flavors are varied. The colors on the plate are kaleidoscopic, owing to the edible flowers the couple lovingly grows in their backyard. Nina proclaims that her Husband is known for his soups, after tasting the perfectly hot tomato soup I can understand why. Each course is well defined and a delight onto itself. The deserts are playful, light and delicious. This is not a meal to be rushed through but one to be savored, if you are an impatient eater be prepared, this meal takes four hours. If you are patient you will be rewarded with an unforgettable meal, the feeling that you have made new lifelong friends and a go to place every time you visit Chicago.

Chris and Nina have a unique way to make you feel like you are eating in their home. It’s BYOB and Nina made three wine recommendations that they sell at their store. Each bottle averaged $20. She did not try to gouge us with an overpriced wine. The dinner is expensive but not as bad as other fine dining options in Chicago. With 13 courses, it was the best value we have experienced.
