Charlie Trotter's
Chicago
Read the full review

Twenty-one years have passed since Charlie Trotter first opened the doors at the unassuming brownstone in Lincoln Park. Trotter's intuitive mind segues to all arms of the restaurant, from the clean preparations to avant-garde presentations to the service staff who govern your table with right-on instincts. The chef extends his reach, opening in Las Vegas, while the Chicago Elysian hotel and New York City projects are under way. Trotter's hallmark spontaneity extends to his constantly evolving dégustation menus that unfold like a Miles Davis track.
