"Six seats make up the chef’s counter at this popular Lincoln Square restaurant, and it’s rare to see any of them empty. After all, regulars and first timers alike often want an up-close perspective on chef Ken Carter’s cooking, which showcases seasonal American fare that regularly rotates (a citrus salad packs in charred cara cara and chili; sunchoke soup is gussied up with chamomile and thyme). Come early to snag a spot — but not first without a round of signature drinks from the bar." - Nicole Schnitzler
