About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Temporis is intimate. Twenty seats in the heart of Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, unbound by the conventions of fine dining. We offer an evolving ten-course tasting menu of progressive American cuisine featuring ingredients grown in our hydroponic garden.

Temporis, in Latin, is time. As cooks, servers and students, we embrace and challenge time—stopping it when we ferment ingredients; stretching it when we bake with our three-year-old sourdough starter; and taking it back in dishes we make from memories we can’t forget.

There is always something new for us, and you, to experience and enjoy.

We were awarded one Michelin Star in 2018-2022.

    Temporis is a relaxing, sophisticated and artistic dining experience. Walk inside to a warm greeting and you can feel how the team is genuinely happy to be there - for you. The service is outstanding and approachable as they ease you into each mind-blowing plating. The pairings were sublime - splurge on the Reserve Wine Pairing - you wil not be disappointed. It is worth keeping your phone handy to capture the beauty of the presentation of each course. Chef Jorge orchestrates the experience - delicate courses of mussels and lobster followed by pork belly and short rib as he shares a bit of his Boston roots and Chicago home. Pastry Chef Jacquelyn is a master. It is rare when you can actually feel the magical, cool vibe of when good, talented people collaborate, and it is inspiring to be their guest. Thank you, Temporis!

    We visited Temporis a few days before the Covid-19 shut-down, and were among a total of six people that night. The food is glorious, and the wine pairings unusually thoughtful. I have celiac disease, and was impressed by the creative workarounds to ensure that my meal was as interesting as my husband's. Particular standouts included the Wagyu dumpling and the lobster with black truffle. Though it was an early reservation, it was clear that as soon as we finished the staff could go home, yet we never felt rushed. Temporis is a splurge, but well worth it. When we come out at the other end of this outbreak, we would be honored to return.

    Went there for my girlfriend and I anniversary. Everything was great, from food to service. Did not feel out of place especially being, probably, the youngest people there. Would go back again should another occasion pop up.

    Very creative, mostly delicious, however a few courses not top notch, saltiness or bitterness overpowering, or main ingredient not recognizable (e.g. lobster ravioli). Adventurous, great service, great seating.

    We were very satisfied with the five-course prix fixe meal and its wine-pairing service. Most of the dishes were very memorable, in a good way!

    A moment in time. An experience to take away and last a lifetime. Art on a plate.

    Very expensive for what you get. Elegant minimalist decor throughout. Although the food looks very pretty at Temporis, lots of the flavors didn't meld very well together. I would skip the wine pairings - wasn't that impressed by the sommelier and the quantity of wine poured was pretty weak. They do have some interesting options by the glass and bottle that are reasonably priced. Lots of the courses included weird jello and powders and weren't really put together as a cohesive dish. If you're going I'd skip the wine pairing. For the price would highly recommend going to Oriole instead.
