May Street Market



Neighborhood: West Town

Chicago, IL 60622

This West Town eatery, courtesy of chef/owner Alex Cheswick (whose resume lists Le Francais and Tru, plus top-notch European restaurants), caters to well-heeled urbanites and foodies alike with an ingredient-driven menu that changes frequently. Seasonal martinis and an extensive wine list complement the contemporary American fare. In the dining room, warm earth tones accented by wood and copper trims highlight stone walls and marble and bamboo flooring. Settees and cubed ottomans serve as seating in the swank front lounge, which also features several cocktail tables and an L-shaped bar.
