My Mother’s Steak Frites, Bistronomic Onion Soup, Coq Au Vin

#2
the Albert
8.4
Located inside Hotel EMC2, the Albert is a design-forward restaurant where globally inflected New American plates, a strong cocktail list, and an open kitchen bring a more ambitious option to Streeterville hotel dining. Menus lean into seasonal vegetables, precise seafood dishes, and richly sauced mains rather than oversized portions. It’s used for dates, low-key celebrations, and pre-theater dinners that still feel creative.
Must-Try Dishes:
Charred Octopus, Tempura Maitake Mushrooms, Olive Oil Cake
What makes it special: An art-and-science themed dining room serving inventive, seasonal American plates.
#3
NoMI

On the seventh floor of the Park Hyatt overlooking Water Tower and the Mag Mile, NoMI serves French-influenced modern American plates, sushi, and seasonal tasting-style menus. A former Michelin-starred dining room with broad review volume, it’s a go-to for polished hotel dining with serious views.
Must-Try Dishes:
Skuna Bay salmon with seasonal vegetables, French onion soup with gruyère, Crunchy spicy tuna maki
What makes it special: Elevated hotel dining where French-rooted plates share the room with sushi and skyline views.

The tasting side moves through courses like Dadinho tapioca fritters, scallop moqueca, and A5 wagyu picanha, positioning it as one of 60611’s more ambitious newer tasting experiences.
Must-Try Dishes:
Dadinho Tapioca Fritters, Scallop Moqueca, A5 Wagyu Picanha
