Sprout

My wife & I went on a kick of tasting priced fixed menus.  After trying several in the city over a few weeks (such as Gram Elliot), Sprout was the clear winner.  The price was right, the portions were the right size, and the taste was so good we could vividly remember each flavor for weeks.  It is by far our favorite restaurant in the city of Chicago.

Josha & Kathy are fantastic trainers.  They really know how to work someone out without going overboard.  You know you worked out, but are still able to come back for more.  Totally awesome.

Norayne's Studio Salon

My wife and at least 10 of our friends have been going here for a while.  Norayne is fantastic at what she does...LOVE when my wife gets her hair done at Norayne's.  It's a small studio (self run and managed), and only sits a few.  However, my wife and her friends love to make a girls night out of it so they can hang out with Norayne and get there hair done.  I haven't experienced it myself...but I love the results of the people who have (and isn't that the best measure of success...that everyone else loves your hair as much as you do?)

Great atmosphere but the food is only ok.  Basic bar food with nothing to really brag about.  A great place to watch a game though.

I went there with the in-laws and it was a great time.  The lamb was amazing (which was a special, I think).  The rest of my group loved it as well.  The wine list was only ok...which is a big part of this type of meal.

404 Wine Bar

The wine menu is only OK, especially for a wine bar.  They serve every wine in the same type of cheap wine glass I would expect at any sports bar.  The ability to order off of the Jack's menu and the 404 menu is nice.

This small and casual place was amazing.  The wine section was good but the wine etiquette was even better.  They served us in real wine glasses; they even brought out different glasses when we switched wines.  The cheese selections was one of the best in the city and the food was pretty good.  I would put the steak up against any in the city.  I tried the some of the food from the rest of my party and it was OK.   A little pricey, but it was still really good.
