Special Meal

Hi

My boyfriend and I are coming to Chicago after Christmas. It is his Birthday on 27th December and as we are both real foodies I want to take him for a nice meal. I just wondered if anyone on the forum could make some recommendations.

Thanks

Zoe

The first question is... what do you want to spend?

The one after that is... what's "nice" to you? Cutting edge food? Fanciest experience? Hippest scene? Comfy intimacy?

This thread has links to writeups about many of the top places and a discussion that will probably be helpful for starters:

Here's another good thread that takes a little broader perspective on the food scene here:

Welcome to LTHForum, Zoe. You'll probably find you get more useful answers to your question if you add some specifics:

- What kinds of cuisine do you or your boyfriend like? (Some "real foodies" on this board have different ideas of special meals than others.)
- How much do you want to to spend?
- What neighborhood would you like to eat in?
Etc.

You may also find doing searches on keywords related to your answers to these questions helpful.
