Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Calumet Heights

Our family had an absolutely fantastic dinner here! We opted for the tasting menu and, with four of us, decided to order one of everything on the menu. Every dish was phenomenal—beautifully prepared, with perfect plating that showcased the attention to detail. Alex, our server, took excellent care of us, and Jake, the sommelier, offered outstanding wine recommendations from their incredible wine list. We finished the evening with the cheese course paired with a fantastic bottle of wine—a perfect way to end the meal. On our way out, we stopped by the bar because we noticed some rare bottles on display. We ended up staying to try a couple of new ones, and the bartender’s knowledge and passion made the experience even better. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our evening and will definitely be back!

The appetizer selection was impressive. My wife and I shared oysters and the bone marrow. Both were very good. The house cocktail list was tasty. I had the Fame in Chicago. My wife had the spicy lobster pasta dish that was outstanding. For dessert, we split the apple, butterscotch, carmel, and creme brule. Overall, great food and service with an amazing view of the Chicago river.

We had a fantastic visit! This was the first jazz club we had ever visited, and it was a great time. We saw Sabertooth live and would definitely come by again next time we're in the area.

Wow! Amazing! So glad I was able to snag reservations! Want to go back and try more. Tried the Green beans, poke, goat belly and pork belly. We loved it all. Amazing textures and flavors.

No words can describe the amazing experience we had at Boka. The professionalism from the staff and the “flavor bombs” from all of the dishes we had were second to none. Thank you!!
