Alinea

A last minute spot opened up at this Michelin 3-Star restaurant while we were in Chicago. We’ll take it!

The 9 course menu and wine parings for the evening of November 13, 2022.



Alinea a meticulous multi-course gastronomic dining adventure through modernist cuisine. Chad and I have been fortunate enough to visit some of the top restaurants in the country. Including a visit to Eleven Madison Park in 2014 and Saison in 2017. We have wanted to dine at Alinea for years. Fortunately, we were in the right place at the right time for this experience. From their website; Alinea has a Michelin 3-Star rating. It has also won James Beard Awards for Outstanding Restaurant in the U.S., Outstanding Service in the U.S., and Outstanding Chef in the U.S. Chef Grant Achatz and his team offer three distinct experiences at Alinea. These are the Kitchen Table, The Gallery, and The Salon.

We dined in The Salon. Let the adventure begin…

Paint – This immersive piece of edible art on a table was a unique experience. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see and eat.

Balloon – The Finale. Helium. Green Apple. Taffy. After a full wine pairing was quite the site. It went something like this…

Kitchen tour and cookbook after thanks to my amazing husband. Thank you, Alinea and its staff for a fantastic evening full of surprise and delight.
