Allium - Chicago

The restaurant is stunning, and the seating is incredibly comfortable. We had a wonderful time in a cozy spot right across from the Kamin. We tried two of their special drinks, which were pricey but delicious. Then, we ordered the hot dogs, and they were fantastic. Everything was homemade and truly enjoyable—they elevated the classic hot dog to a level that justified the cost. Our waiter was attentive and even wished us a happy jubilee, which was a nice personal touch. I appreciated that he acknowledged the details we had shared, especially since my previous dining experience involved servers who overlooked such information. There was a small mix-up regarding a gift we had received, but the waiter apologized sincerely, which was unnecessary since we were happy to pay for the treat. He was so accommodating that we decided to tip him generously despite the confusion. When we left the restaurant, we felt elated—it's that kind of joy that comes from great food, attentive service, and a lovely atmosphere. I can't wait to return!

I visited last Thursday with a friend, and we enjoyed a dinner paired with wines as part of the chef series featuring Chef Murray and Chef Gaytan. They did an amazing job creating a three-course meal. I can't wait to return and try more dishes from Chef Murray. The service was fantastic as well!

Friendly, easy-going staff, not crowded, beautiful top view, and of course good eating. here because of the evaluation on chicago eater, top 15 dog joints. the chicago style dog for $17 was an experience. not in the rule my cache, but it ate like a meal and came with fresh preparations of relish, swirling, paprika and grape tomatoes. the fries were salted directly and with a whiskey BBQ sauce that really tasted as if it was made before spot. the sausage was all bark and tasted as good as they could expect. it came with a spiced pickel I had a pleasant bite and on the side (after all there was fresh relish). I was good after the dog that was fleshy and satisfying, but I thought I wasn't back and went for a unique dessert. if they are in such things, but only if they are more in the experience and see such art, I would recommend this dessert: mais profiterole. tomato cream with fresh basilikum and sweet merengue sticks with caramel popcorn, along with orange sorbet (which made every tasty taste better) and a cookie filled with marscarpone. I will decide next time for the pumpkin sorbet, but the young one was filling this extra.

Steaks are well made, desert is very tasty. Mahi-mahi salad is good and fresh.

The octopus, halibut, and dessert were phenomenal, and plating is beautiful!
