I have
a really fabulous friend that gave me a night out at the top restaurant in the world, ALINEA {according to NBC Chicago}, to celebrate my birthday. I was told to dress up
and make sure I was on time. I was told it was a set menu and that I would be
impressed. I was told that this was a really big deal… needless to say I was
very impressed. ALINEA in Chicago delivered on all of its promises and then
some. It was a wonderful evening with ridiculously delicious food and fabulous
service and I would love to go back and eat there again!
The
food was like eating art. It was not only delicious, it was beautifully
presented. The menu is seasonally driven and there are between 18-22 courses
depending on the menu at the time and the availability {ours was 14}. The wine
pairings are outstanding and compliment the food wonderfully. It was a night to
remember and will definitely stand out as a top dining experience.
I told
my friend that dining at the ALINEA restaurant
was blog worthy, and it was. I have therefore decided to share some of my
favorite courses with you today.
At
ALINEA of Chicago tables of 2, 4, and 6 are accommodated, so keep that in mind
when planning your evening. You make reservation 2 months in advance and ALINEA
also has some last minute options available that they share through their Facebook page. But my
understanding is that it can be difficult to get a reservation at ALINEA and if
you do get one – savor it.
Thank
you Rich for a wonderful birthday celebration and a phenomenal dining experience!
