Serving the best seafood and Italian cuisine, Carmines
Chicago restaurant features a bustling bar and a relaxing dining area.
Facilitating late dining, the eatery at 1043 N Rush, offers mammoth portions at
great prices. Streaming with incredibly beautiful music, the seasonal outdoor
seating at Carmine's sidewalk cafe makes for interesting Gold Coast
people-watch. The restaurant offers more than a dozen different cigars ($7-$21),
though smoking is allowed only in the first floor bar and dining area.
The dining room is comfortable and attractive. With its Rush Street location
and upscale supper-club setting, Carmine's
Chicago restaurant sets quite a stage. The clubby, dark bar/dining area
attracts a sophisticated crowd. The menu is Taylor Street Italian fare, from
chunky minestrone and house specialty chicken Vesuvio to satisfying zuppe di
mare overflowing with perfectly cooked seafood and linguine in a tomato
white-wine broth.
Lets talk about a terrific find!Another place that will interest all
you food-lovers is the Chicago
firehouse restaurant, nestles in a historic building in the South Loop.
Built in 1905, this lovely old firehouse has been tastefully restored with a
handsome cherry bar, plush leather booths and club chairs. The restaurant is
simply outstanding in terms of food and service. Priced quite reasonably, the
restaurant clearly exhibits excellent cuisine and atmosphere.
Known for its classic, upscale American food, the traditional Chicago
firehouse restaurant serves clean, familiar flavors like plump green
onion-studded crab cakes, classic French onion soup brimming with Gruyere cheese
and a juicy burger that ranks among the best in town. Popular comfort-food
plates like slow-cooked pot roast and roasted Firehouse chicken with au gratin
potatoes top the menu. Chicago
firehouse restaurant also serves seafood, like pan-fried rainbow trout,
mahi-mahi and Florida grouper with artichokes, prosciutto and olive tapenade.
The pork chop with chili/mango is to die for. In desserts, pecan pie,
Nutella-filled crepes and tempting chocolate chip-banana bread pudding are the
must tries.
