The Red Canary
- Neighborhood: River West

- Price range: $$ ($9-$15)
Gone are the neutral tones, white tablecloths and pricey steaks of former tenant Avenue M -- but don't worry, the gorgeous ivy and flower-laden patio remains. Now a grand chandelier, metallic gold details and vibrant red walls lend an Art Deco 1920s vibe with a sexy edge. Chef Rick Spiros is behind the menu of Americana-inspired dishes such as sushi-grade scallops over cheesy grits or shredded short ribs on garlic toast that fall in between small plates and entrees in size. On the weekends, check out a hearty brunch menu and bottomless mimosa and bloody mary bars.
