Flatwater Restaurant
This River North spot offers something for everyone; an interior space with views of the Chicago River through large bay windows, a lower-level patio right on the river's edge, boat slips with on-craft service, and a 54-foot indoor-outdoor bar with a frozen drink focus. Although this spot is from Jay Vohra, the man behind the now-shuttered Narcisse, the decor here isn't as over-the-top; look for natural stone and warm wood accents instead. The menu features global choices like mango-chile ceviche, blackened swordfish and espresso-hazelnut lamb chops. |
