 This heavy hitter in River North saw the departure of chef Michael Shrader, but it forges on. As the name implies, this restaurant remains, well, epic in many ways, rolling out its showy self with wining and dining appeal. The sleek, bi-level American eatery and lounge turns out mildly clever, prettily plated, seasonal dishes, like roasted candy cane beets with goat cheese, orange and hazelnut vinaigrette and braised short ribs with faro risotto. There are Prime steaks, too, and sides like baby carrots with fennel pollen and honey to go with. For dessert, expect options like toffee bread pudding with whipped crème fraîche. Of note as well are the cocktails, which range from classic to creative.
