The Grace
Restaurant
Why we point you here
A James Beard-charted kitchen in Chicago worth building a night around for serious American cooking.
When a Chicago kitchen earns James Beard recognition for Best Chef in the Great Lakes, it's worth the detour. The Grace has that kind of trust behind it—the sort of place that gives you confidence before you've even walked through the door, and reason enough to roam this part of the city.
