#1
Golden Kaluga Caviar, Smoked Halibut, Grilled Spinach, Shiro Dashi Butter
SepiaWest Loop·$$$$
$48.00
Premium caviar with smoked halibut, charred spinach, and dashi butter sauce.
Tip: Watch how the flavors layer—the smoke of halibut, the umami of dashi, the brine of caviar. Each element supports the others without fighting.
#2
Mother of Pearl
ESMÉLincoln Park·$$$$
White sweet potato ice cream topped with osetra caviar.
Tip: This course appears regularly as a savory-sweet intermezzo. The pop of caviar against the creamy ice cream is a textural delight.
