C-House, Chicago

Chicago's dining scene is epic, and this Marcus Samuelsson restaurant represents it at its finest. The contemporary decor is sleek and tasteful—great for a business lunch or romantic dinner. Seafood is the specialty here, and is quite special indeed. Sink into a variety of fine dinner entrees including Wild Striped Bass served with fine cockles, brandade and tomato; or Housemade Dill Pasta of savory lamb bolognese and ricotta. You may also choose among a variety of East or West Coast oysters. Their Bossa Nova Brunch is not to be missed, serving up Pastrami Smoked Salmon dressed with cream cheese, as well as the Grilled Steak Sandwich and the C-House Burger of whitefish and tartar. Cap it off with a drink from their extensive list and a dessert; the dessert menu is tempting enough to make you skip dinner!
