Chicago Nesties

Nor Cal Nestie needs restaurant recs.

Hey ladies - I'd love a few recommendations for some of your favorite restaurants. My BFF lives in Chicago and I want to get her a few gift cards for some restaurants so she and her FI can have a few date nights. She was laid off and he's in school and working at TJ's so money is tight and she mentioned they're feeling stuck with being so frugal and not having as much fun as they used to because having fun costs money. I'd love to get them something for a nice dinner (maybe $100-150 so hopefully they could have a bottle of wine as well) and then something more fun?/less expensive.

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!!

  • I would buy them a gift card for Lettuce Entertain You restaurants.  They own many different restaurants throughout Chicago, some are really high-end and others are more moderate.  They have restaurants for all different cuisines and your friends can have their pick of where to go.  Their site is leye.com.

  • I agree with the lettuce entertain you, there will be plenty to choose from.
  • my husband and i looooove terragusto on addison. if your friend likes italian, this place is top-notch and very charming. they use all local and fresh ingredients, and it is also BYOB. we also really like naha. a gift card to the lettuce entertain you restaurants is also a good idea because there are so many options (and some of them are wonderful - like tru, etc). hope that helps!
