The W Hotel brings in this new contemporary American concept to its Loop location, switching gears from Tuscan-inspired Ristorante We. The name stands for "initial public offering" and is a nod to the surrounding Financial District. Chef Trevor Hoyte calls his menu "new urban cuisine," which on the plate translates to a number of influences melding with American favorites, with flavors ranging from Asian to Mexican to Puerto Rican. To help decode the menu's creative dinner menu headings, here goes: find shareable plates under the "mingle" and "share" headers, side dishes under "accompany," entree-sized plates under "indulge," and desserts labeled as "delight." Dishes are contemporary without teetering into avant garde; for example, a grilled melon block salad is accompanied by peekytoe crab, watercress, gelatin-enhanced passion fruit cubes and an Asian-inspired sweet-sour-spicy sauce. Seared scallops meld different Latin flavors with chorizo two ways (ground and powdered) plus sofrito. Like most hotel restaurants, IPO also serves breakfast and lunch.

IPO is located at 172 W. Adams St. in Chicago's The Loop Neighborhood
