L2O
Singleplatform
Although critically-acclaimed chef Laurent Gras no longer runs the kitchen, L2O's prix-fixe-only menu reigns on as one of the best in Chicago. Diners enjoy expertly-prepared seafood and sashimi of the highest quality, sourced from around the world. L2O's bread service, featuring anchovy rolls, bite-sized pain au lait and bacon-infused twists along with house-churned butter garners rave reviews from even the most carb-fearing. — Jess Kapadia, 2/19/11

Poached halibut is a favorite lush and buttery with a whimsical parsley meringue disk that dissolves on the tongue. -
Try the Forest mushrooms from our 100 Best list: Founding chef Laurent Gras left. Michelin took away two stars. When we ate this wild and brooding mushroom dish at L2O, we couldnt have cared less. -
The bathroom has a fishtank with little crustaceans... Cute. -

4 of 4 stars. "A lot of words have been used to describe L2O-- minimalist, compelling, any superlative you care to name-- but until recently, playful was not among them." Phil Vettel, Chicago Tribune -
Ever heard of akagai, sagoshi, kanburi? Theyre all fish served up at this elegant Asian-inflected seafoodery. Dont miss the house-made anchovy brioche or the delectable praline souffl. -
Do a tasting menu with wine pairing. Expensive, but worth it. Their wines are amazing -- the best I've ever had -- and they pair so well. Food & service were both great. -

Outrageous sweetbreads for a restaurant specializing in raw fish. Although you hear not to fill up on bread, go ahead and butter those mini pain-au-laits and bacon twists. They're unparalleled. -
food's excellent but short of spectacular. Alinea is a superior choice in the price range. wine flight is mediocre -
