February 9, 201016 yr Author QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 9, 2010 -> 11:39 AM) What price range? I'm unconcerned really. Let's cap it at $75/head, but cheaper is fine.
February 9, 201016 yr Author We've done Petterino's and Catch 35, but you're on the right track. Something with a touted chef would be fun too, but close enough to Ford that we can eat then hit that at 8pm.

Trattoria no.10 and of course down the street, Frontera with one of the best chefs in the world.
February 9, 201016 yr mccormick and schmicks is good The one time I ate there in Pasadena I was unimpressed. Worth noting right now, Restaurant.com is running one of their "80% off sales" and so you can get say a $25 credit at a number of restaurants for say $2. The code is PAYPAL. Might involve some searching based on distance/zip code, but a lot of them will have menus online also.
February 9, 201016 yr Author I COULD do Frontera. I don't know how romantic Mexican is, but we both like Rick Bayless due to Top Chef Masters.

Not quite Joe's good, but a notch below.

February 9, 201016 yr Author I believe my wife would murder me if I spent $300 on dinner anyway... not including drinks/tip.
February 9, 201016 yr Author QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 9, 2010 -> 12:07 PM) Frontera isnt in the loop either. So I see. You assholes!!!!! Come on!

February 9, 201016 yr Ive always liked Italian Village, but its not nearly as pricey or classy as other places. http://www.italianvillage-chicago.com/ Edited February 9, 201016 yr by Soxbadger
February 9, 201016 yr I haven't been there, but Atwood Cafe looks interesting and I've heard good things from some friends. Also, you can't get much closer.
