• Alinea Phone: 312-867-0110 Address: 1723 North Halsted City: Chicago State: IL
• Google Map

• • Concierge.com Recommendation: "Rising star and culinary rocket scientist Grant Achatz (formerly of Trio and Napa's French Laundry) raises the bar on New American cooking at his techno-chic Lincoln Park restaurant."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The most anticipated local restaurant opening of 2005, chef Grant Achatz's Alinea is a place no serious foodie should miss."

• • Fodor's Choice: "Avant-garde chef Grant Achatz specializes in deconstructing and rebuilding food in a way that's playful and modern -- and not for everyone."

• http://www.mkchicago.com/ mk Phone: Address: 868 N Franklin St City: Chicago State: IL
• Google Map

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The presentations are tasteful rather than dazzling; Kornick wants you to concentrate on the food, and that's just what the chic, mixed-age crowd does."

• http://www.trurestaurant.com/welcome.html Tru] Phone:312-202-0001 Address: 676 N Saint Clair St # 1 City: Chicago State: IL
• Google Map

• • Concierge.com Recommended: "Be ready to spend the evening ogling too-beautiful-to-eat creations: perhaps Tru's trademark "caviar staircase," a spiral of glass "steps" topped with dollops of multicolored fish eggs..."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Meals here are all prix fixe; if your wallet and stomach permit, shell out the big bucks for the seven-course Grand Collection or eight-course Tramonto's Collection."

• Charlie Trotter's Phone: 773-248-6228 Address:816 West Armitage City: Chicago State: IL
• Google Map

• • Concierge.com Recommendation: "Celebrity chef and local hero Charlie Trotter's shrine to "New American" cooking is still the hottest dining ticket in Chicago. Foodies from all over gladly shell out $145 per person to sample his seven-course tasting menus made with globally available organic ingredients."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "There is no a la carte menu, so this is not the place to come if you're a picky eater. Your only choice is to decide between the vegetable ($115) or grand ($135) degustation menu."

• • Fodor's Choice: "One of the nation's most experimental chefs, Trotter prepares his menus daily from the best of what's available globally."

• Gibsons Phone: 312-266-8999 Address: 1028 N Rush S City: Chicago State: IL
• Google Map

• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "The dining rooms evoke a more romantic time, from the sleek Art Deco decor to the bow-tied bartenders. The portions are notoriously enormous, so Gibson's is best for groups who are happy to share dishes..."

• Moto Phone: 312-491-0058 Address: 945 W Fulton Market City: Chicago State: IL
• Google Map

• • Concierge.com Recommendation: "Cantu practices what is known as molecular gastronomy, a postmodern approach to cooking that is often multisensory."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "For the ultimate made-to-order dish, an insulated box cooks a piece of fish right at the table. Cantu's got a sense of humor, too -- during a raw food course, he uses a "virtual aroma device" to emit a subtle smoky scent, and sometimes the menu itself is edible."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Spring is not a scene: Diners step down into a dining room hidden from the street, sink into the banquettes that zigzag across the center of the room, and concentrate on the food."

• • Fodor's Choice: "Like McClain's cooking, the restaurant's interior design faces east for inspiration, beginning with a rock garden in the foyer."

• • Concierge.com Recommended: "Don't miss the fabulous raw bar, Saturday brunch, or Topo's $75, five-course tasting menu. A local crowd also gathers for the wide selection of margaritas and Mexican beers."

• • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "At Frontera the signature appetizer is the sopes surtidos, corn-tortilla "boats" with a sampler of fillings (chicken in red mole, black beans with homemade chorizo, and so on)."

• • Fodor's Choice: "Devotees of chef-owner Rick Bayless queue up for his distinct fare at this casual restaurant, brightly trimmed in Mexican folk art."

• • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Mindy Segal's desserts got raves when she worked at the restaurant mk. So when she opened her own place in early 2005 -- with a dessert theme, no less -- there were lines almost immediately."
