Description:
Towering high above the Chicago Stock Exchange, Everest is an oasis of fine-dining civility, a place where you can taste the creations of one of Chicago's top chefs while enjoying one of the city's top views. The decor isn't as impressive as the food (it looks like a high-end corporate dining room), but the focus here is the view, the food, and you (the service team seamlessly anticipates your every need). Chef Jean Joho draws inspiration from the earthy cuisine of his native Alsace, and mixes what he calls "noble" and "simple" ingredients, such as caviar or foie gras, with potatoes or turnips. While the menu changes frequently, the salmon soufflé and cream-of-Alsace-cabbage soup with smoked sturgeon and caviar are popular appetizers; signature entrees include roasted Maine lobster in Alsace Gewürztraminer butter and ginger, and poached tenderloin of beef cooked pot-au-feu style and served with horseradish cream. Desserts are suitably sumptuous, and the wine list offers some wonderful American and Alsatian selections. Befitting a restaurant that's been in business for a few decades, service is smooth and polished.
