For four star dining in Chicago, try Raw Bar. This is a great place. This place has been around for the last 15 years, and is situated in the Lakeview neighborhood. It's known for its seafood. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a casual atmosphere. This restaurant features a raw bar.
4.0 of 5 stars.
