All 4 Caviar Dishes
#1
Golden Kaluga Caviar, Smoked Halibut, Grilled Spinach, Shiro Dashi Butter
SepiaWest Loop·$$$$
$48.00
Premium caviar with smoked halibut, charred spinach, and dashi butter sauce.
Tip: Watch how the flavors layer—the smoke of halibut, the umami of dashi, the brine of caviar. Each element supports the others without fighting.
#2
Mother of Pearl
ESMÉLincoln Park·$$$$
White sweet potato ice cream topped with osetra caviar.
Tip: This course appears regularly as a savory-sweet intermezzo. The pop of caviar against the creamy ice cream is a textural delight.
#3Score 89/100
Caviar Course with Pineapple and Yuzu
AlineaLincoln Park·$$$$
$435.00
Golden Osetra caviar with pineapple custard and finger lime in a mescal-infused broth.
Tip: This course taught reviewers not to assume fruit and caviar can't pair — let each element shine.
#4Score 87/100
Dhokla with Caviar
IndienneRiver North·$$$
$90.00
Lentil cake with Golden Osetra caviar, garnished with microgreens.
Tip: This pairing of traditional dhokla and caviar sounds odd but works — trust Sarkar's vision.
