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!

We had a wonderful experience dining with Sepia. The first bite, the lady edison country ham donut, set the tone and wowed us right off the bat. The balance of flavors in all dishes presented was impeccable, they are well deserving of their star. The overall tone is very comfortable yet upscale, just like Chicago. You will feel at home here, no matter your vibe. Don’t miss the wine pairing, the cocktails are delicious but the wine truly enhances the dining experience. I am by no means an experienced wine connoisseur and I found the wine pairing outstanding. Our server, Jordan I believe (curly hair and glasses), was incredible. We were really impressed with his service. Serving food in a setting like this isn’t easy and he is a shining star. I was happy to see they offer their employees benefits as part of the bill, as someone with a chef in my family . Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
