Valentine's Day Dinner
-01/24/2008
On Valentine's Day we will have a regular menu. Kevin usually does something a bit more holidayish, but there are no scheduled seatings and there are no set menus. Shikago Restaurant, our new place, will have a Valentine's Day dinner in the Library, on the 40th Floor of the 190 South LaSalle building, the only building designed by Phillip Johnson in Chicago (Shikago is on the ground floor). The Library looks like something you would find in Bruce Wayne's mansion. There are massive windows, Read More...

When we first sat down with our architect, we told her we wanted a comfortable space where people could relax and have a conversation. We wanted it to be kind of Asian, but not in any theme park kind of way, kind of quiet and meditative, but not in a way that would put anyone to sleep. We wanted the place to have a nice feel with flattering lighting. We think she did well. Our customers most often say the restaurant is cozy and they thank us for making a restaurant where they can talk without having to take part in their neighbor's conversation.
We are located in the River North section of Chicago, in a growing restaurant area, surrounded by hotels, condos, shopping and many office buildings. We are near the Merchandise Mart, the Wrigley Building, the Chicago River, and Nordstroms.
We have an experienced, pleasant staff, many who have worked with Kevin in the past.

We call Kevin "the master of broth." Kevin made his reputation at a restaurant called "Jimmy's Place," a French restaurant with an opera theme. He was named as one of the "10 Best New Chefs in America" by Food and Wine Magazine, and the James Beard Foundation called Kevin a "Rising Star of American Cuisine." He was just a kid then, beginning to work out the ideas that he has developed into a personal style - deceptively simple food, elegant in presentation, amazingly intense in flavor - in a subtle sort of way.

We have a private room that seats a maximum of 30. There is a minimum expenditure requirement of $2,000.00 plus tax and gratuity (18%)for booking the room on a weekday (M-Th). Friday's minimum depends on the time of the year. On Saturdays the minimums are $4,000. The room is at the back of the restaurant. It is separated from the restaurant by a glass paneled door and a partial wall with glass panels. It is pleasant because you are not removed from the restaurant but it is private. The quality of dining is the same as the restaurant. There is no separate banquet kitchen.
