Chicago's Best Restaurants

Sherman Kaplan's incisive reviews will help you find just the right dining spot every time. Noting that quality and cost are not necessarily related, Kaplan scores each restaurant on a 20-point scale, assigning a "K/R" (Kaplan Rating) that evaluates: food, service, ambiance, and overall value. A K/R of 20/20 is tops, and no eatery in this book falls below 15/20. The price range, location, phone number, hours, parking, credit cards -- all the specifics are spelled out to ensure a delightful eating experience instead of a disappointing surprise.
