Getting there from the northwest suburbs
Every starred restaurant is inside the city, so plan the trip as part of the night.
By car40–50 minTake I-90 east onto the Kennedy. Most of the list is 27 to 30 miles from Schaumburg. Allow 75 to 90 minutes on a weekday at 5 p.m. Most rooms use valet or a nearby garage.By trainMetraMilwaukee District West trains run from Schaumburg station to Chicago Union Station in about an hour. The West Loop rooms are a short walk or ride from there. Check the last train home before you book a late seating.Before you goBook earlyMost of these restaurants open reservations weeks ahead, and many take payment when you book. A tasting menu takes about 2.5 to 4 hours. Mention allergies when you book, not at the table.
By neighborhood
9 neighborhoods. Most of the stars are in the West Loop, near the end of the Kennedy.
