Best Contemporary American Restaurants in North Lawndale

The food lived up to the hype. Everything was presented beautifully and more importantly tasted amazing. We ordered half the menu and our server paced the food perfectly and even split some of the dishes on separate plates, which was a nice touch. They cleared our plates and gave us new silverware after each course. Drinks were also delicious and so was the wine. All and all fabulous.

Amazing dinner to celebrate the birthday of a friend, we were four guests. We got in, someone greets us with warmth hospitality, they offered to check our coats, then we get to our table and Sepia had printed a menu with a special Happy Birthday printed on it! Alex, the server, was so professional, hospitable and authentic: we felt like he was one of the owners! We ordered cocktails that were amazing, even the simple classic Gin and Tonic! The menu was a four courses with 4 or 5 choices per courses. We added an extra course by adding Caviar… OMG totally the best decision we could take! Every meals that followed, and I mean it, were a Heavenly delicacy. It was the first time for everyone of us going to a Michelin restaurant and we understood why it has such a rating… Worth to mention, we had gluten and soy allergy and all the guests were treated with such professionalism, it was very reassuring. The quality of every aliments was outstanding: all guests were feeling absolutely great after the dinner and the next day… definitely a blast and a must to go to once visiting Chicago. Thank you Sepia for offering such a wonderful experience!

Absolute perfection. The service, the atmosphere, the view, and the food!

A few of us went to dinner here last night and Angela was our waiter and she was amazing and very very thoughtful. My friend wasn’t feeling well and because they didn’t have tea she walked next door to get her a cup of tea - like how sweet is that? Would definitely come back just for her! And our food and drinks were also really good and fresh.

Excellent food with terrific, attentive staff. Place is beautiful and warm. Plates are small and meant for sharing. Some were quite expensive ($34 each for goat pork belly and basted bass) which were very small IMO for the price. Goat belly was very good, but would pass on the bass as we felt it was over spiced and couldn’t taste the fish. We also had the poke (24), oysters (18 for 2), beets (18), chickpea fritters (18) and a delicious, definite repeat in the toffee pumpkin spice cake (15). With tip and 3 drinks between us, came to $300 for 2 people. That said, this was our second visit and we will gladly be back again!!!
