Whatever you prefer, the most romantic restaurants in Chicago are sure to set the stage for a charming and unforgettable time. Been there, done that? Think again, my friend. Regis Chicago is one of the hottest spots in town. If you're fortunate enough to snag a reservation, prepare to wine and dine in style.
Guests pass by a pasta lab—where tortelli, spaghetti and tagliatelle are crafted—on their way into the dining room, which offers stunning skyline views. The steaks are all cut to share, so combine them with plates like short rib meatballs and blue prawns in salsa verde, or chef Evan Funke's excellent pastas. Housed in a building that was constructed in to be a warming shelter for ice skaters, North Pond now serves as one of the most romantic dining rooms in town.
The skyline views are the cherry on top. While his other spots Gilt Bar, Au Cheval have their charms, the appeal of this spot—decked out with jazz-era decor and music—is practically universal, and perfect for a cozy evening with your significant other. Diners need not be huge steak fans to get a good meal—in fact, as good as the steak frites is, both the fried and roasted chicken are even better.
