When the ugly-duckling Days Inn transformed into the ultra-hip W Chicago-Lakeshore, this splashy sunken dining room began attracting a cool crowd. The space is a study in drama, from the glass-covered gray and blue-green walls to the strip of stretched red fabric sexily undulating over a central communal table. Pulsating music, psychedelic projections and a throbbing lobby bar add to the club-like setting at night, when the chic gather to sip fancy cocktails and wines while savoring exec chef Kristine Subido’s Mediterranean-fusion small plates. Options, though they often change, have included roasted prawns with fresh oregano and Greek feta and pan-roasted scallops with pea purée, Medjool dates and preserved lemons. Don’t miss main courses either: we like the grilled Berkshire pork tenderloin with dried apricot and cherry mostarda and the grilled flat-iron steak with raisin-caper relish. For dessert, the Honeycrisp and aged cheddar turnover delights.
