Best Historic Restaurants in West Loop

Incredible as always. Perfect service and unbelievable food

One of our top meals of the year. Make no mistake, Jinsei is a fine dining establishment that just happens to be in the fun and casual confines of CH distillery. Best of both worlds. Zoe is a master of the menu so we let her guide our group (including my vegetarian wife) through the menu. Apps included oysters, lions mane mushrooms, crudo, tuna w crispy rice. The rolls were fantastic and their special vege roll was a standout to the whole table. Even the edamame was unique and savory. Then came the nigiri which included selections from their onsite fish aging lockers. Think medium fatty tuna with shaved truffles and marinated salmon. Pair this with drinks from one of the best cocktail and sake bars in the city and a shot of Malort to end the meal and it was a fantastic evening with friends. Thanks so much to the spectacular team!

What a gem! Asador Bastian totally knocked it out of the park. Our server, Yousef ( potentially spelling his name wrong), was fantastic - super friendly and really knew his stuff. His recommendations were perfect for our dinner. We started with their Tortilla Española, which was a great way to kick things off - light but packed with flavor. The arroz cremoso that came next was incredible - the flavors were spot on. But the real showstopper was the Akaushi beef, cooked exactly how we wanted it, paired with these amazing bone marrow potato purée that I'm still thinking about. We wrapped up with a delicious cheesecake that hit all the right notes. The whole experience, from walking in to walking out, was just perfect. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes! If you're thinking about going - just do it. You won't regret it!

This place is so beautiful inside! The food and service is also great and they even have gluten free bread for toast for my celiac friends. Our server also recommended a grapefruit spritz as a mocktail and it was perfect for brunch. Will definitely go back!
