Lincoln Park
Boka
Located in Lincoln Park and recipient of a Michelin star in 2010, this restaurant offers inventive New American cuisine from Italian-born chef Giuseppe Tentori, previously of Charlie Trotter’s. The sleek main room is adorned with decorative white sails, brick walls, and leopard-print chairs, and additional seating is available outside on the enclosed, tree-shaded patio. After starting with creative handcrafted cocktails, which can be customized to suit personal flavor preferences, move on to seasonal specialties like the braised beef short rib ravioli and Alaskan halibut with poached prawns. The eclectic yet unobtrusive background tunes can range from contemporary hip-hop to Simon & Garfunkel.
Insider Tip:
Boka is only a two-minute walk from Steppenwolf Theatre Company, making it an excellent choice for pre-show dining.
