9. Tallgrass

The food and the attention to detail at Tallgrass is just out of this world. The dishes served are perfected, pleasing to the senses and beautifully presented.... I personally had the 5 course and every course was better than the last. It's a small place, maybe needs some updating.... but by far the best dining experience I've encountered in the Chicagoland area. Hidden treasure. Extensive wine menu always a plus. Do reserve.
