Avenues is a hidden treasure. Within the posh Peninsula hotel the restaurant is world class and would probably rate 2 to 3 Michelin Stars in Europe. The fish and seafood offered is the freshest in Chicago, service is impeccable - and they have a great view, too (Water Tower Park). I can't follow the previous rater saying it was too expensive. $69.00 Prix-fixe for 3 courses is a bargain and if you are into indulging try the $95.00 Chefs Degustation Menu. Worth every penny!!! Clearly one of the very best in Chicago! And don't forget Sunday Brunch - the focus is on quality - not quantity: just exquisite.
Pros: romantic, exquisite food, great service
Cons: not for children
