Fine Dining Tour of Chicago Day Two: Bistro 110 and ZED 451
Some of the tastiest three days of my life continued on Saturday with a delicious lunch at Bistro 110. The previous times I've dined at this wonderful French eatery I ordered the wood-roasted salmon fillet. But since I'd eaten salmon the night before, I stepped outside my comfort zone and ordered the oven-roasted half chicken with thyme and olive oil. While I love a good roast chicken, I rarely order chicken at restaurants. Perhaps because my mom's amazing roast chicken and other chicken recipes has spoiled me. But Bistro 110's chicken was delectable. Great seasoning, crispy skin and juicy meat. I wasn't disappointed I made the jump from sea to land at Bistro 110.
Dinner was at ZED 451. I'd previously eaten at their rooftop bar and lounge, but the menu on the roof was way different than what's served in the main dining room. Like a Brazilian Steakhouse, there's an epic salad bar and chefs walk around to your table offering different cuts and types of meats.
The selection of both meats and the salad bar was never ending. I love having too many options. I dined on duck, Wagyu beef, Moroccan chicken, and chicken fritters. I complemented my meats with roasted zucchini, onions, and peppers, blackberries and strawberries, spinach and goat cheese salad, deviled eggs, and breads with assorted butters and spreads. My mom and I got to eat all that for $44/person. What an amazing deal!!! Not only is the food phenomenal and affordable, but the service is attentive and exceptional and the decor is warm and classy. This would be a fantastic place to go with a group, perhaps for a birthday. I'll keep ZED 451 in mind for January 2011.
ZED 451 also does brunch. I bet it's just as delectable.
