Kindling is a two-story, live-fire steakhouse in Willis Tower where chef Jonathon Sawyer runs steaks, seafood and shareable plates across a massive wood-fired grill. Office workers use it for business lunches, post-work cocktails and group dinners when they want something livelier and more flexible than a dark, formal steakhouse. Opened in 2023, it reads as the neighborhood’s newer, less buttoned-up option for flame-kissed steak frites and cocktails.
Must-Try Dishes:
10oz Steak Frites, World Famous Confit Chicken Wings, Wood Fired Seafood Salad
What makes it special: A newer live-fire steakhouse in Willis Tower where a huge wood grill, two-level layout and a cocktail-heavy menu make steak feel more like a downtown cookout than a hushed chophouse.
