Tattoo aficionados and rock music fans should love this contemporary American spot in River North. Look for an "upscale rock 'n' roll atmosphere," with an interior inspired by classic tattoo parlors. Current and classic rock, from Fall Out Boy to Johnny Cash, serve as background beats. Chef/co-owner Chris Curren's menu includes appetizer selections such as lobster pizza and beef carpaccio, then moves into heartier fare such as roasted Asian-spiced lamb chops and grilled orange-glazed opah.
