I know, I know...they keep saying they have the best fried fish but for the last 26 years, I cant get over my passion for the BBQ chicken (white meat only). That's all I ever order. Well, that and a pitcher of HighLife. It's actually a trailer house attached to a bar. It's like walking into a mobile home from 1979. Tacky but delightful. Dress sloppy - it's ok. The food is delicious and cheap. My chicken goes for 8 bucks, with fries, coleslaw, cottage cheese, bread, and 2 raw green onions - trust me, it's great. The owner is famous for walking around the table, telling bad jokes. They only have dinner on Wed & Friday nights. Cash only. All I can say is that I am a Club 81 lifer!!

I ordered the combination Koldunai (boiled meat dumplings and cheese dumplings with bacon and sour cream) and Kugelis (baked potato pudding with sour cream). It came with a barley soup that was tasteless. The dumplings were ok but the Kugelis was literally soaked in grease. Would not recommend.

I disagree with some of the reviews on here about this place. The prices are actually very low and the Indian food is usually very good-- sometimes excellent. I've been to most of the Indian restaurants in Chicago (in Devon and elsewhere) and the ones that are much better than the Rajun Cajun are also much, much more expensive. In this price-range, the Indian food at Rajun Cajun rivals that of any other Indian restaurant in Chicago. I've always been impressed by this place and I find it hard to account for the complaints on here-- I suspect it has something to do with the tendency among U. of C. students to complain about everything.

Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago will become a dining destination for Chicagoans and visitors alike. A world-class, chef-driven signature restaurant - designed by noted Chicago architectural firm Valerio Dewalt Train Associates, Inc. - is located on the 16th floor, featuring a 30-foot curved window offering spectacular, up-close views of Chicago’s historic architectural landmarks, including the Wrigley Building clock tower as well as stunning lake, river and city views.

The Bar at Trump, a sophisticated lounge located on the hotel’s mezzanine level, offers a vibrant, social atmosphere. Picturesque views of the Chicago River and the Michigan Avenue Bridge ensure a memorable Chicago experience.

In addition to 24-hour room service, guests at the property may also request the services of an in-room chef (advance notice required).

This dingy storefront decked out with nonworking video-poker machines looks like a front for the Polish mafia. While we were there, a man walked through the restaurant to a waiting pickup truck holding something wrapped in a blanket.

Everything has been done well by the staff and the chef! I would say to get a reservation early, as it is getting difficult to get a table. The baby octopus is fab, and definitely go for the flatbread.

We tried Sepia, on a whim, on our way to Avec. From the moment we entered it was a wonderful experience. Tall paneled doors at the entrance, looking like they came from some long gone institution, are surrounded by walnut paneling and lead you inside. The dining room is not like the barren Zen experiences you might expect from hip new restaurants in the city. The mood set is one of comfort and simple edgy elegance. The latter of these two descriptions coming from the four large translucent drum encased crystal chandeliers that hang in the middle of the dining room, each above its own table. We were seated at one of two large communal tables, sitting at bar height, that had a great view of the room and a unique dramatically lit wine storage system climbing the walls to our backs. The room itself is enough entertainment value to be given by the price of a meal. But then the menu arrives and there is more. We didn't even get to the entrees and grill items before being overwhelmed by the unique choices offered as starters, flat breads and sides. We decided to order small plates and come back for entrees another time. We started with the bacon, peaches and blue cheese flat bread, chilled cucumber/avocado soup with smoked trout (kindly split for us with no need to ask) and roasted rabbit with ricotta dumplings. The portions were generous as appetizers and fully enough to share between 2 people. We then ordered the pork rillette with fig preserve and pistachio bacon brittle and the sweet corn with peppers. The pork rillette was decadent with its fatty richness and the corn could have been served as a dessert for its sweetness. The rillette was served with a rustic herbed bread which I thought a bit complex for everything else on the plate. This was only a small item, in the spirit to achieve perfection as no one ever can, for which I saw room for improvement. The pistachio bacon brittle, however, was a perfect compliment to the pork.

A few minutes ago, Grant Achatz, the chef of Alinea in Chicago, released this statement through his publicist:

“I wanted to personally report that I have been very recently diagnosed with an advanced stage of squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth. I have consulted several prominent physicians and will likely begin aggressive treatment within the next few weeks. I remain, and will remain, actively and optimistically engaged in operations at Alinea to the largest extent possible. Alinea will continue to perform at the level people have come to expect from us — I insist on that. I have received amazing support from friends, family, and everyone who has thus far been told of the disease, and I look forward to a full, cancer-free, recovery.”
