Yuzu

Yuzu offers expertly prepared sushi and Japanese style robata grilled dishes in a modern, yet whimsical and relaxed environment. Sushi is presented in artfully designed and tasty sauces. Flame grilled and skewered meats, fish and vegetables are deliciously spiced and perfectly priced. BYOB.

Calumet Fisheries

One of the last wood-smoked seafood restaurants in Illinois, this unassuming, shack-like eatery can be found next to the Calumet bridge. This historic, family-run business serves perfectly prepared smoked or fried seafood of all kinds. No seating inside, so order and take it with you or eat by the river on the bridge.

Chicago's Home of Chicken & Waffles

Southern comfort food is on the menu at Chicago’s Home of Chicken & Waffles. Soul food favorites like fried or smothered chicken, sweet potatoes, collard greens, and of course waffles are served all day in a comfortable, family friendly atmosphere. You’ll find great service and a great price.

The executive chef at Sofitel Chicago Water Tower’s Café des Architectes has released a new passion project focused on enhancing the menus at the restaurant and its adjoining Le Bar.
