- DKDKCHIVIPChicago / Illinois •22 reviews5.0Dined on 28 Feb 2025We went in the off season, so we could walk right in and were seated by a fire roaring in a big kiva stove. One of us was blown away by the Brussels sprouts (I can’t be near them in any form) and delighted by the Chilean sea bass (with a wild mushroom risotto and sun-dried tomato beurre blanc. I had a wedge salad (I may have pedestrian tastes) with a bleu cheese dressing that was made special by a touch of tarragon. My beef ribeye with a jalapeño demi-glace was beautifully tender and fatty, just the way I like it and rarely get it in Chicago (surprising, I know). There is also a huge and friendly bar if that’s where you like to congregate. Highly recommend.More infoAgavePrice: Expensive• Latin American• Santa Fe•3.6
