One of my favorite places to eat in Chicago. My coworkers and I have been going here for years. I love the style a variety of food. The duck with apricot is mouthwatering, the venison is not gamey at all which is wonderful, and the swordfish is great. Beyond the rounds and rounds of meat, they have a well-stocked charcuterie area that does not disappoint, soups, salads, and numerous sides ranging from vegetables to pastries. They also bring around little cornbread bites that have been cooked in a cast iron that is smashing. The atmospheres works well for a date night, friends relaxing or business meal. It is not too loud which I like so you can hear the people you are with. If you are just looking for drinks after work, there is a rooftop bar and a bar near the restaurant. While both are comfortable, I prefer the rooftop bar because of the fresh air and lounging area. Wondering what to drink and like whiskey, you cannot go wrong with the Bourbon lemonade. Especially during the summer, this drink offers a refreshing start to a fun evening. So, it goes without saying, I really recommend ZED451 for any occasion.

love this spot because they cook all of their meats in delicious ways! Also if you are expecting/pregnant, this place will serve you well. The exclusive Chef Andrea (@awills_fl ) is a mom of a 6 month old adorable girl so she understands what are the pregnancy food restrictions. I told the staff and I didn’t have to worry about temperatures of meat. They served me a special plate with meats cooked well done and all the cheese at the bar is pasteurized. . . .
