The Best Restaurant in Chicago: Alinea Restaurant

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

http://elizabethweintraub.com/a-night-at-alinea-restaurant-in-chicago/We could not entice any of our relatives to come with us to Alinea Restaurant while we were in Chicago. That's because my inlaws are normal people. Grounded individuals who live in the real world. They are not on a search for carmelized honey or Chartogne-Taillet Brut, and they would not consider a tiny little leaf to be a single course for dinner. They would also not spend what probably equates to more than a month's rent for a single meal either.

Nope these people are rational. So, it was very difficult to find a couple to share our table that we managed to snag at the very last possible minute. Thank you, Alinea, for making it possible for those of us who live outside of Chicago and are in town for a limited amount of time, to enjoy your restaurant as well.

Sounds like a special night out and I'm glad you and your husband enjoyed it.  You work hard for your money, you might as well enjoy it while you're here.

Hi Chris Ann: I hope I did the restaurant justice in my description because it is actually very difficult to describe Alinea. It's something you pretty much have to experience. Some things in life are incredibly expensive and they are not worth the money. Not to those of us who have to work for it. Like, I would not spend $10,000 or $100,000 for a meal. But $1,000 or so can be worth the money. It's odd where one draws the line.

Things can't always be taken with us, but great memories can!  If you can easily afford it, then why not!

Elizabeth the meal had to be something to spend anything over 100.00 for me.  Haven't found that place yet.  I've been close but no cigar.
