The Aviary by Grant Achatz – Chicago
The Aviary is where cocktails and service are given the same attention to detail as a four-star restaurant; where bartenders are trained as chefs; where the produce and herbs are carefully sourced and procured fresh daily; where the name and branding of the spirit mixed is less important than its actual flavor; where drinks are made quickly and consistently in a state-of-the-art drink kitchen; where innovation and tradition are both honored. The drink presentations are artistic and playful. For 2 or 4 people, The Aviary offers the Chef’s Kitchen Table for a 10-course cocktail tasting menu, paired carefully crafted bites of food for $165.
