Jazz it up at Green Dolphin Street. You won’t miss this place on Ashland with it’s big bright green neon sign outside. In the summer time, tented outdoor seating is available right by the Chicago river. Beautiful jazz music plays in the background, giving the place a sultry feel. I had the halibut,which was absolutely scrumptious. The dishes are pretty pricey, but if you’re in the mood for some good jazz and great upscale food, it’s worth it.

Prepare to drop a $100 if it’s a date. The exquistite dining and bar is top notch. The service is amazing, not once did the not monitor my EVERY needs. The food is succulent and there is even a nice veranda outside overlooking the river. You can be seated to either an indoor (dark wood and romantic lighting) or outdoor(tented sunroom).
