Dining room at Tavern at the Park, Chicago, ILWith its central downtown location just off Michigan Avenue and views of Millennium Park and the Chicago skyline, Tavern at the Park definitely has the location angle in place. From the same team behind steakhouse Keefer’s, the restaurant concentrates on classic American cuisine with contemporary twists in an atmosphere reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright. That means there are the ubiquitous sliders, but here the prime rib minis have a five-cheese top, and the meatballs are crusted with Parmesan. Portions are large, but sharing is encouraged---a good idea with rich appetizers, such as herbed chicken fondue and Portuguese mussels with specks of pepperoni. Entrées are familiar and generally solid, from deboned, lemony brick chicken to pan-roasted halibut in garlic-Burgundy broth and saucy steak Diane. The downstairs bar is a popular spot for the after-work set. The moderately priced, California-heavy wine list is probably a factor.
