Explore the best places to host a dinner in Chicago
Hosting a dinner is about more than the people and the cuisine. It's also about the venue, which can heighten the appeal of a dinner through historic surroundings, tasteful decor, and incredible views of the city itself. Chicago dinner venues come in a wide range of styles, sizes, locations, and price points. Loads of restaurants in the city offer private event services as well, giving you and your favorite people complete access to the venue's gardens, patios, staff, chefs, and music selection.
The coolest venues in Chicago to eat dinner
Chicago dining venues range from traditional to eclectic. If you're looking for a cool place to eat dinner then aim for the strange and unusual. Some places, such as El Idea on West 14th St., give diners a backstage look at how meals come together. Diners and chefs aren't separated by walls, letting you watch and engage with the staff as your meal comes together.
Chicago is home to some of the best restaurants in not just the US but also the world. Alinea was rated as Best Restaurant in the World by Elite Traveler and is a Michelin 3-star dining experience. Meals here are as much an artistic and emotional experience as they are gastronomic. Their food is almost too beautiful to eat.
And if you'd prefer a more casual dining atmosphere, look into beer gardens. Places like The Kaiser Tiger, with 20+ rotating beers to select from and outdoor seating. Whether you prefer casual dining, craft beers, and street food or cocktails, elegant clothes, and global cuisine, you can rest assured that Chicago has it.

The best intimate dinner venues in Chicago
Intimate dining gives you and your friends a chance to enjoy each other's company in a quiet and relaxed manner. Small dining halls are perfect for micro weddings, birthday parties, or simply catching up with friends. They are also more reasonably priced venues since fewer people are being served. Restaurants, bars, rooftop lounges, and party halls all provide intimate dining venues, as well as catering, menus, tables, chairs, drinks, and other dinner essentials.
Some intimate dinner venues even include a stunning view; especially lakefront and rooftop venues. What better way is there to enjoy a dinner than atop a Chicago skyscraper where the glittering skyline is as much a part of the experience as the food? Luxury dining venues in Chicago with a view are some of our favorite places to recommend!
