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.

A modern twist on the old Pump Room. Delicious food is served in a cool, lively environment. You will find a modern contemporary approach to a classic American menu that uses regional ingredients. The late night menu includes tapas style small plates. The beverage program offers an international selection of beers, specialty cocktails, and an excellent collection of wines. No jackets required.

The Restaurant That Keeps Me Coming Back...

My favorite go to restaurant is called Al Dente located on Irving Park near Pulaski. It is a little off the beaten path, but it is probably one of the best restaurants you will go to in Chicago.

Bergstein’s NY Deli

 

If you’re looking for a quality deli sandwich with a New York-style experience, Bergstein’s is the truck to track. As natives of New York, the Bergstein family missed the convenience of a corned beef sandwich, potato pancake and matzo ball soup at any hour of the day, so they brought the experience to us with their deli truck.

e.leaven

 

No, e.leaven is not a typo or play on the number between ten and twelve. The noun “Leaven” means an element such as yeast that causes dough to rise, and an element that produces an altering or transforming influence. This concept combined with the owner’s first initial “E” gives e.leaven its name.
