This fine-dining restaurant in the South Loop offers tasting menus as well as a la carte options and a bar for neighborhood cocktailers who want to stop by after work. Executive chef Ryan McCaskey (formerly of Rushmore and Courtright’s) has lived in the ‘hood for more than a decade and is looking to fill a niche in upscale dining. The menu reflects what he calls a “contemporary classic” influence with inventive takes on traditional favorites. Dishes might include Gunthrop Farms pork belly with cheddar grits, pickled crab apple, celery and shallots in a root-beer consomme or Swan Creek chicken with fried cornmeal, buttermilk, sausage gravy, truffle bread pudding and maque choux. For a more laid-back night, sit in the front bar and sip craft cocktails from former Graham Elliot beverage director Michael Simon and order a lobster roll or bacon-onion aioli-slathered burger. There are plans for a small outdoor patio for the summer months. 

Acadia is located at 1639 S. Wabash Ave. in Chicago's South Loop Neighborhood
