Freds Chicago

If you are looking for fine dining, this place offers great food, great views, and a serene dining room experience with superb service. It sits on the top floor of Barney's New York, among upscale retail shops on Oak Street, and you actually walk through Barney's to get to it. Get it...Fred and Barney? I do not know if the menu changes daily, but there were many delicious Italian oriented offerings. Among the notable fare we tried were the fried zucchini appetizer, the French fries, and the orecchiette entree.

I totally enjoyed this place, the food is outstanding, as well as the shower rooms were not bad. It was a little cold indoors, really was not the best. The host is good as well. I will certainly think about going back again if I have the possibility. Me and my buddy ordered the toast and we were not disappointed. My one tip is to keep the cool outside. Laters!

Ah Fred's. I used to think this place was just for an ice tea/ coffee break when I needed to save my feet for all the shoes I had to try at Barney's. But apparently they do food too. And it's pretty good. I came here during restaurant week (i didnt know they did that) and I had the roasted beet and arugula salad, the cavatelli with sausage and we tried all the desserts. The hands down favourite was the flourless cake and they were nice enough to give my friend the birthday cake chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream. All for $22? yes please. Also, half the fun is people watching, from 12 year olds with makeup, to 80s disco dancers to former models whose names we tried to guess. Enjoy!
