- LLukeVIPLondon •18 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe best seafood fusilli I have ever had. EVER. ANYWHERE. I ordered this on the recommendation of my charming server. I am limited to 2000 characters on this review which means I cannot do it justice. The presentation - sensational. The taste sublime, other worldly. The tender way in which the lobster was cooked and how it seemed embrace the bisque and envelope itself in the sauce. Let me see if I can try and explain how good the seafood bisque sauce was; the spice was fragrant and tantalized the nose, the taste was long and complex; what was more enthralling? The creamy richness of the sauce, the delicate piquancy of the spice or the creamy richness of the texture. I am not sure - but I think it is worth many more trips to see if I can find out. One other point to note, the maitre d was charming and so knowledgeable about the menu but was genuinely passionate about the food and wine. I do not mean that this enthusiasm was faux or contrived but genuine and heartfelt and really elevated the evening from humdrum to exceptional. Thank you.More infoAcantoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown / Loop•4.8

- MMarlenaChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined on 16 Feb 2025Even if you only experience this winter outdoor dining only once in your lifetime, you should! It is beautiful outside surrounded by the downtown Chicago skyline! You stay warm and cozy long enough to enjoy a meal and drinks. It’s a wonderfully unique experience!More infoChateau CarbidePrice: Expensive• Cocktail Bar• River North (Chicago)•3.5
