Chicago Dining Recommendations
My parents are coming to Chicago in a week, and I’d like to take them out to the nicest place that doesn’t require a jacket. My parents have a traditional contemporary American-ish taste, so a sushi bar is out of the question unless it’s a fusion thing. Upscale Asian cuisine is also fine as long as it has more to offer than sushi. I know about metromix and chicagoreader, but am curious to hear some recommendations from OOT.

Try Gibsons Steakhouse www.gibsonssteakhouse.com [/ QUOTE ] Take them to Gibson's. If you have something against Gibson's, take them to Colletti's. And no, I'm not just saying that because it's my family's restaurant. The pizza is ridiculously delicious. Someone mentioned the south side. Don't take them to the south side if you want them to return home alive/not raped.

Re: Chicago Dining Recommendations
Oh, I forgot about Spring. Definitely good. Probably as good as MK, but Blackbird is still better.
Anyway, there's a lot of bad advice in this thread if you're looking for a pretty nice place that isn't just a steakhouse. Citanul is pretty spot-on although I'm not a big fan of Italian as "fine dining." I don't think it's particularly impressive for the money - still, it's great for some people, especially parents.

Re: Chicago Dining Recommendations
Saw the new "trip to Chicago" thread and wanted to say that I was in Chicago this weekend and hit up Blackbird based on this thread. The food was amazing. I would recommend the restaurant to anybody -- especially young people looking to have a very nice meal (the place isn't one of those stuffy nice places).
