"We love this multi-faceted Scandinavian restaurant in the West Loop. With the option of either a $130 nine-course menu or ordering a la carte, this bright and airy spot works well for both a special occasion or something a bit more low-key. It doesn’t matter whether you’re kicking off the tasting menu with “tea of lightly smoked fruits and vegetables," sharing small plates of housemade pasta or cured fluke, or on a solo mission to eat sunflower seed parfait with bee pollen—coming here is always a great choice. Plus, they have an outdoor area with a fireplace that’s great for drinks before or after dinner." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
