Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Bucktown / Wicker Park

We did the Chef’s counter experience and what an experience it was! Chef Rishi explained each dish with the same passion that he uses to create them. The mole that he has perfected over years is the best mole I’ve ever had, and I’ve eaten in Mexico. Can’t wait to go back and watch both Chef Zubair and Chef Rishi working their magic together!

Everything my table had tasted amazing and was well paced out. Each bite was loaded with flavor and a nice shareable experience.

Great family dinner last night at RPM Seafood… celebrated my wife and daughter’s birthdays with an outstanding evening. Loved the salmon and tuna apps; clam chowder, and Caesar salad. Entrees were excellent: halibut, miso cod, tuna all expertly prepared and seasoned. Whipped potatoes and mushroom sides were very good Loved our server and they comped us for a great chocolate gelato and mousse desserts. We will be back in the future for celebration events!

Our night was so enjoyable, and it started with our server. He was personable, helpful and good humored. The cocktails are creative, I had the Japantown and loved it. Very original, very refreshing. We shared the garlic fried rice, brussels sprouts, fire chicken and steak kalbi. Every bit of it was delicious. Truly, could not have been happier with the experience.

This was truly one of the best meals I have ever had. We did the Chef’s Tasting menu and it was FANTASTIC! Each course somehow got better than the last. The Chef explained each dish to us, and was incredibly kind. I am always on the hunt for new restaurants and rarely frequent the same place twice, but I will definitely be back. This is without a doubt the best authentic Italian food I have had in the city.
