We asked Chef what inspired our Thai Grilled Chicken Satay Salad—here’s what he said: “Everything I love about Southeast Asian flavors—The bold and punchy elements and simultaneous lightness and balance with freshness and acidity. I love the dynamic textures and temperature contrast with dishes like this, that are still hearty and satisfying without weighing you down.” Come see what he means 🥗🍗 📷: @six4creative #DinnerChicago #lincolnparkchicago #summerinchicago

Chef’s been ready for spring 🌱 Grilled Heritage Pork Chop — rich, a little indulgent, but lifted with brighter, fresher flavors. Chef says Pinot Noir. We agree. 🍷 #springishere #chicagoeats #lincolnparkrestaurant

Drawing inspiration from a New York classic, our 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲 & 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱 is built around a thoughtful balance of flavors and textures. We layer crisp Belgian endive and golden croutons with buttery avocado, dressed in a punchy, creamy Caesar. Finished with fresh mint, freshly grated Parmesan, and a touch of bright Espelette pepper.🥗🥑 This house favorite is uniquely versatile—perfectly suited for enjoying by hand or with a fork and knife. Available on our brunch, lunch, and dinner menus.
