    I'm looking for a place to take some out-of-towners somewhere in Wicker Park/Bucktown. Ideally it will have nice ambiance and entrees between 15-25 dollars.

    Any suggestions?

    I second Le Bouchon, I'll add Spring, possibly Green Dolphin Street, bin Cafe, Club Lucky, For a BYOB, Lucia's in the back room, a short cab ride, Bonsoiree. But, West Town has a lot to offer, including Avenue M, West Town Tavern,Bella Note, Natalino's, May Street Market.

    I'd recommend Bin Cafe. I've been to this place a few times and their food has always been excellent, specifically the roasted 1/2 chicken. It's skin is nice and crispy, but the inside is very moist. It's a nice atmosphere, they server a lot of good wine at a good price, the only downfall is that it gets a little loud inside, not from the noise, but maybe the accoustics.

    I'll add my props for Bluebird Bistro and Winebar. I absolutely loved the place when I was there in winter, enough so to make me trudge back out in winter to return. Great selection of wines and cheeses as well as small plates. While the room is lit by lots of candles and dim lighting they have tile floors and so can also be insanely loud. But, still great atmosphere.
