After years away from a professional kitchen, Jason Vincent, one of Chicago’s most beloved chefs, returned with his first restaurant that’s tiny in size but massive in flavor. Focusing only on delicious recognizable food that’s sneakily complicated, great service and drinks, and a relaxed come-as-you-are atmosphere. The pastas, crab and waffle fries, and fried uni shooter are staples; and make reservations well in advance — the small restaurant is jammed on a nightly basis.
