Fountainhead

On our first date (7.9.18), we had dinner on the rooftop patio at Fountainhead in Ravenswood.

Recess

838 W Kinzie St, Chicago, IL 60642, USA
312-801-1181

Why we love this spot:
In addition to the massive patio, cool interior, summer drink pitchers, and garbage can beer pong... we love it because we planned our trip to Paris (!!!) and later celebrated our engagement with our families here.
We would highly recommend stopping by on a sunny afternoon while you're in town.

5 Rabanitos Restaurante & Taqueria

1758 W 18th St, Chicago, IL 60608, USA
312-285-2710

Why we love this spot:

You can't go wrong in Pilsen - we love doing date nights in this area. The tamales at 5 Rabanitas are almost as good as the fact that it's BYOB.

Hot tip: grab a bottle of tequila & some nasty, lime green margarita mix from the stop & shop around the corner while you wait for a table...

Aba

773-645-1400

Why we love this spot:

Our favorite Restaurant Week spot in 2019. Everything is amazing - the Spanish wine, the hummus, the rooftop bar, the hummus, the views of the skyline, the HUMMUS. (Can you guess who chose this spot?!)

Macello Cucina di Puglia

1235 W Lake St, Chicago, IL 60607, USA
312-850-9870

Why we love this spot:

We celebrated our first Valentine's Day here, but could only afford the pizza because we did so much traveling during the Spring of 2019. Please order better than we did - this place deserves it.
