great food and great experience!

Was a truly lovely first experience and we will be back! Every course was absolutely delicious.

We had an amazing experience at Sepia! The staff were fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding and the ambience was perfect!

We really loved this place. Food was si delicious, and wine pairing was awesome. I highly recommend wine pairing!

Magnificent dining experience. With a party of seven, we had a diverse enough selection that we were able to try most of the available course selections. For us, highlights of the fall 2021 seasonal menu included: steak tartare, crispy soft-boiled egg, herb-crusted back cod, hay-grilled sirloin, venison shabu-shabu, steelhead trout, foie gras, dark chocolate brownie, and the crispy sage French toast.

My son (whose college graduation we celebrated here) had done a lot of research for his special dinner, including watching Chef Zimmerman take down Iron Chef Marc Forgione on and older episode. Fortunately, this meal surpassed his high expectations. Bravo!

As you enter you immediately feel relaxed. That is the feel of the whole restaurant later on. The decor is is simple yet elegant, in keeping with the name. The service is very friendly, but not overly so. The food is exquisite, one of the mst creative and complex in taste that I have ever have. Overall a fantastic experience!

Simply outstanding! I can’t describe how the food could be so intriguing!

Such a special night with my hubby, out grown kids, and their s.o.'s. The cocktails were creative and delightful- the food was amazing and the service made each of us feel so special. Was a spurge night and I'm so glad we had this special night together.

Amazing food, amazing cocktails, amazing ambiance. Will be back

Amazing meal great staff cocktails and overall experience was top notch

We really enjoyed our dinner at Sepia. The food was delicious and the service very nice. We will repeat soon!

Best restaurant in Chicago! Revamped menu and incredible all around.

Didn't know this was a Michelin-starred restaurant when I made reservations. But it certainly lived up to rating. Friendly front staff greeted us on arrival. Enjoyed the lounge area while we waited for the other guests to arrive. Food, of course was first rate. I liked the prix fixe menu selections. Standouts were the venison, duck, and steak (I didn't taste the seafood selection). Suggest the wine pairing. I tasted several new wines that perfectly accompanied each course.

Special mention of our server, Hilary. She was knowledgeable and engaging, and made great suggestions.

The space was physically pleasing, and the four of us at my table were able to converse in normal voice tones. Look forward to a return visit.

Butternut squash soup was incredible. Everything tasted great. Love the 4 course menu.

The food was interesting and generally well cooked/plated, but the overuse of sugar ruined one and nearly another of the four courses I had.

The only thing I had where the predominant flavor was not sweet was a malört cocktail, which was predominantly bitter.

Oddly, one of the dishes that wasn't too sweet was the sorbet desert. I'm not sure why the sugar was toned down there compared to the other dishes, but it was very good.

Overall disappointed with the experience especially for the price. The restaurant was clearly understaffed and because of that the service wasn’t great.

The food was creative and inventive. Chef Zimmerman is incredibly talented.

Cocktails - our favorite place in the city. Mixologists are inventive, and they perfectly execute elegant and well-balanced drinks.
Service - flawless. Busser is attentive, and waiter is always perfectly timed with wine pairings.
Food - ranges from excellent to outstanding.

First time back since pandemic. Food is better than before, very interesting flavors.

Amazing food and great service, and the restaurant is beautiful

Our server was extremely helpful in picking from the fixed price menu. She was always timely. Food was unique, in proper proportions and delicious. My old fashioned was excellent.

The experiencia was very good, one of the best restaurants in Chicago. People very kind, service great

Los postres no son nada espectacular vs otros restaurantes de gran calidad sin estrella Michelin.

Debes de probar el platillo de pollo con trufas, es un must. Así cómo también el platillo de pato. Fueron los 2 platillos ganadores.

Una muy muy buena experiencia, pero no espectacular.

We felt the support wait staff for a Michelin star needs a lot more training. We felt rushed from the beginning. We just got our cocktails and our first course arrived. We were never asked if we wanted coffee or tea at the end. My husband’s venison was very tough. However we had a great time and lead waiter was excellent.

One of the best if not the best meal I’ve ever had - every scintilla of every course was a revelation. Do it - you won’t be sorry.

Great value for a Michelin-starred 4 course menu with many course choices

We dined at Sepia for the 1st time to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday and the evening was truly special. Our waiter Kevin, and all the staff were terrific; the food was amazing with great flavors and was filling but not over so, so we could enjoy all 4 courses. And the value, while a Special Nite out, was a wonderful value for an amazing experience.

The server was amazing and personable, food was timely and delicious most definitely recommend the duck corn dog

Sepia was amazing. Incredible food, great ambiance, the whole nine.

Spectacular

It was one of the best experience about the dinner.

Fine dining and see vice.

Food was delicious, and our server was the best: knowledgeable, friendly, fun. Loved the structure of the tasting menu with wine pairing, different wine with each dish!

Had a great time! Would love to go back next time I’m in Chicago!

We were celebrating an engagement and sat in a semi private room with a round table for 8. It was such a special night. The good and service was amazing.

Excellent in every dimension.

Alex, our maitre d'hotel made the experience even better.

not to be missed

It was fantastic! Every course was better than the last. Our server was engaging and made the experience worth it all.

It was a wonderful experience. Diners should note that a dinner at Sepia are designed to take longer so that each course may be enjoyed. This is perfect for having conversations or getting to know work colleagues better. Highly recommend.

Loved my experience. Only thing I wouldn't do again is the venison, it was delicious but a level below every other item we ordered in our opinion. Wine pairings varied but overall were great. The cocktails were fantastic.

Really appreciated the time and thought that went into the course meal at Sepia. Hard to find places like this that streamline the experience and take the pressure off of having too many decisions to make. Nicely done.
