Was ANDREI POP BUIA at Sepia a mag?
Everything was fine, but we expected more from the dishes. They also did not refund the money for the reservation. The cocktail we ordered meant that it would have a smoke bubble, but while they were bringing it to us, the bubble burst and no one thought to redo it, so the cocktail entourage was bad View all feedback.

What Alex dislikes about Sepia:
Sepia left a lot to be desired. The space is much louder than I anticipated and the service was not what I was expecting from a Michelin star restaurant. We often felt forgotten during the night as our server's attention was split between a very large party in the back and several tables in our area. The food was okay but nothing was really memorable.

Staff were very friendly and kind about the party of five that included 100 year-old in a 98 year-old. The restaurant is a very pleasant space and the service was extraordinarily good. Most of the dishes were really exquisite. We had the four course dinner and I thought there was some repetition of dishes that had cream sauce. Maybe the menu could suggest how to choose from the selections for the four courses so that you don’t have dishes that are similar, good as they are. Fish roe and currants seemed prevalent. Also missed having something lighter with vegetables. The veloute leek potato was amazing and so was the smoked trout. The apple tartin was a real deconstructed surprise. I would highly recommend Sepia. an ambitious fine restaurant!

So glad I chose to come to Sepia for my graduation celebration. The courses were amazingly delicate with layers of flavor that complemented each other perfectly. The desserts are also a brilliant finish to the 3 prior courses and left my party and Ifeeling completely satisfied with our meal. The wait staff and servers are kind and friendly and the ambiance is lively but alsosophisticated. Of the other 1-2 star Michelin restaurant I’ve tried in Chicago, Sepia definitely is the best value!

Every course was amazing! The flavors were so good and the service was wonderful. I also loved the free snapper on crispy rice and bread from the chef at the start. My only complaint is I asked for my steak medium but one one piece was medium and one waswell done. I wasn’t hungry enough at that point to eat the whole thing other wise I probably would have tried to send it back.I probably should have just gotten it medium rare. Other than that it was such an amazing dinner and so many dishes surprised mesuch as the salad. I cannot wait to come back and see what I get next time! It’s also such a great price for a Michelinstarred restaurant in Chicago.
