Guidebook for Chicago/Lakeview
Food scene
This is one of my favorite places if you end up on Michigan avenue (especially in the winter if you can get a seat by the window overlooking all the holiday lights on the street). The menu is HUGE and we always just get a bunch of appetizers - pot roast cheese fries are 10/10!
