New to Chicago and have to set up a team dinner. Still haven’t had the chance to check out many restaurants. What is a really good restaurant in downtown? Looking for some good food with decent ambiance, any cuisine is fine with me. All suggestions are welcome. Thank you

Momotaro, Gibson’s Italia, Roister (chef table is awesome, but seating is limited), RPM Seafood, Girl and The Goat, Boka (in Lincoln Park), Chicago Cut or Mastro’s for steakhouses. Welcome to Chicago! So many great places to try, enjoy eating your way through

Thank you for the suggestions! Going to check them all out 😊

Never understood the obsession with these places - they are what I call “consulting nice.” Nothing offensive, wide enough range everyone can find something to eat, and just trendy/fancy enough that you don’t feel like you’re wasting the expense account. Some of the most basic food I’ve had though and totally forgettable (plus they have essentially the same menu so don’t waste your time going to both).

Reservations in Chicago are hard in normal times but impossible this time of year. Start with looking at what’s actually available and we can help from there. No reason for suggestions like Rosemary and Alla Vita and Proxi when you’re never going to be able to get in.

I'd look through the Tock app, a leading chef from Chicago is a founder so there are quite a few good local options

I've read through every one of these threads and used the observations / advice I've seen here paired with my own research to get "into the game."

I also bought $1000 worth of ethereum at $210 yesterday because I thought that was a good price, but it's only continued to fall... is that a long term hold or should I convert it to Gnosis or something else?
