From the May 2008 Food & Wine Go List
After earning great reviews at Tribute in Detroit, Takashi Yagihashi (an F&W Best New Chef 2000) is back in Chicago. In the two-story A-frame building that previously housed Scylla, the Japanese-born cook delicately combines Asian, French and American influences, serving slabs of marinated fluke with ponzu dipping sauce. The well-chosen, concise list of Spanish and French wines pairs well with the salty-spicy-tangy food.
We loved: Winter roll of prosciutto, shrimp and mizuna; duck fat–fried chicken with lemongrass.
