Join us in congratulating @chef.nm for being named a @beardfoundation Awards Semifinalist for Emerging Chef.
Thank you to the people who believed in the Class Act vision. Thank you to the team that brings that vision to life every night. Thank you to the city of Chicago that nurtures culinary creativity, community, and excellence. Most importantly, thank you to our guests for being apart of our audacious experiment to cultivate connection.
Chicago has its fair share of legendary restaurants, but this year’s newcomers are giving diners good reason to branch out. Link in bio for the full list of stellar 2025 debuts.
One table. Sixteen strangers.
By the end of the night, something shifts.
There's something about being seated together — not across from a date or beside a colleague, but shoulder to shoulder with people you've never met — that opens something up. Conversation finds its way. Stories surface. Laughter arrives uninvited and stays.
ONE, our new menu, is built on a single idea: that one ingredient, explored in every form it can take, becomes something far greater than itself. Connection works the same way. Many voices, many perspectives, many stories — coming together to create something whole.
Sixteen seats. One table. One night you won't forget.
Who would you bring to a table like this?

One ingredient. Every form it can take.
Introducing ONE, our new tasting menu launching this week. Each course is a deep study of a single ingredient at its seasonal peak, paired with an all-Grenache wine flight or five Mezcal cocktails, echoing the same philosophy of singularity and multitudes.

Mom. The original chef. 🤍
When Chef Nicolai's mom was perfecting "Momma Sauce", she didn't know she was writing a menu. She was just cooking. But the flavors she made for him growing up became the through line of our inaugural Growing Up menu — from her pasta to her quesadillas, to so much in between.
Today, we're thinking of her. And every mom who's fed someone they love.
Happy Mother's Day to every mom out there. Thank you for inspiring how we cook, and how we care.

Today we're celebrating the heart of hospitality at Class Act. Happy Birthday, Matthew!
Matthew is the dinner party master of ceremonies. He is the person you connect with before you ever set foot in the door, and the smiling face that greets you upon arrival. He makes every guest feel seen. He knows the story behind every dish— and the perfect wine to pair with it. He brings warmth and joy to the table. He orchestrates the flow of the evening, making every dinner feel like a special occasion. We hope your birthday is as magical as you make every night at Class Act
Join us in wishing @dideeyay a very happy birthday. He's a real Class Act!

A little throwback to our first menu as we get ready for our next menu.
ONE launches next week.
ONE is a celebration of individuality and unity.
ONE is a tasting menu where every course is devoted to the study of a single ingredient, explored in all its facets.
BANQUET celebrates the art of celebration.
What better way to celebrate than with an Ice Cream Sundae?
We'll be dreaming about this Chocolate Rose Ice Cream, Freeze Dried Watermelon, Truffle, Mango Vinegar Caramel, and Olive Oil Hot Fudge long after the BANQUET menu ends this weekend.
Don't miss your chance to try it.
Extremely limited seats still available. Book at link in bio.
Bring the wine to the foreground. Last day to sign up for wine club. Link in bio.
Each month, our Sommelier and Beverage team curate a limited selection of bottles from small independent producers and lesser-known grape varieties, all chosen for their character, sense of place, and the vibe of this exact moment in time.
Choose between From the Cellar, With Love for two under-the-radar gems, or Flights of Fancy for rare finds. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can add on an extra Sommelier Cellar Pick for small allocation smash hits.
