Mako

For unique cuts of fish fêted with luxe ingredients, get to Mako in the West Loop. You'll be steeped in a dreamy dining experience at the omakase den. The star of this show is acclaimed sushi chef, B.K. Park, so be sure you reserve a seat at the 12-seat sushi bar to catch the action. The menu is delivered after the meal, so each bite a lovely surprise but count on melt-in-your-mouth turns of sea gems like abalone (braised in house soy); King Crab with uni miso and A5 Wagyu butter; seasonal selections of nigiri and sashimi; a square of sea bass with crispy skin and charred frisée; soy marinated saltwater eel; and a seasonal handroll with colorful fresh fish peeking out the cone of nori. The parade of seafood is delivered at a serene pace amid the understated decor with splashes of ocean design elements.
