Our Anniversary - restaurant in Chicago?!!

[alison]

Dh and I are celebrating the big 2 this Friday and we're going to celebrate by going out to eat. He's thinking, all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse and I'm thinking, "I can't eat that many little chunks of meat to make it worth $50/person."

Any ideas for a restaurant in the $50/person range? Neither of us drinks, btw. Any good places on LaSalle or Old Town/Gold Coast/N. Michigan area?

Thank you!!!

No suggestions but happy anniversary! Enjoy your night out.

That's so sweet of you, Nellie!
I can't believe it's been 2 years, even though "the big 2" was meants as a joke.

I'm not good with locations in Chicago - this isn't a fancy restaurant and yes, its a chain but they have GREAT food IMO.

Rick Bayless's restaurant Frontera or Topolobampo (they are right next to each other) are great! DH and I went there when he was doing interviews in Chicago. Yummy. Enjoy the big #2

My mom took us to Frontera a couple of years ago. It was nice! Reservations are a must on weekends. For those of you interviewing in Chicago, at the Macy's in the Loop, there's an offshoot of the restaurant (kind of like the cafe at Nordstrom).
