The two Michelin-starred restaurant from Chef Ryan McCaskey has won a boatload of awards for its ten-course tasting menu but, of particular interest to game goers, the bar menu is fantastic. Try fresh and briny West and East Coast oysters; pimento cheese with horseradish and Hook's cheddar to slather on saltines; Maine lobster roll; fried Jidori chicken with cheddar jalapeño cornbread, honey butter and bbq sauce; Acadia dog with lobster mayo, tonkatsu sauce, and kimchi pickles; and the famous, rich Acadia Burger featuring truffle Mornay, Gruyere, and bacon-onion jam (many call it the burger of their lives). Opt for the "Bar Snacks" which are 6-7 bite-sized courses presented as a mini tasting menu for an abbreviated experience ideal for Soldier Field goers. Acadia offers valet and but there is street parking, too.
