Chicago Restaurant Week

This week was Chicago's Second Annual Restaurant Week where participating restaurants offer 3 course prix-fixe dinners and lunches. I'm told that because of the popularity it has been extended for another week so there is still time for all of you foodies out there.


We met a group of people out last night at One Sixty Blue for dinner. It's Contemporary American cuisine with a contemporary/traditional look. We we seated in a private room with an amazing wood round table and cool leather chairs.
