Sepia

Sepia is a small restaurant with a strong retro style. The three-course meal is $22 USD. The bread before the meal is great! The carrot soup for appetizer is sweet and smooth, and the main dishes are fried fish fillet with crispy skin and tender meat + grilled Rigatoni pasta with rich cheese flavor + pork sandwich are all delicious! The ingredients are fresh, fragrant and delicious, and we are very happy! The last dessert is more refreshing and sweet and sour. The chocolate marshmallow cake is a little sweet. It's worth going again! ​

The low-key Sepia is not far from the city center. The camera in the store can also reflect the street view, which is very interesting. The restaurant is decorated in a modern and simple style, and the service is attentive. The bread before the meal is freshly baked, and the whole grains and nuts are healthy and soft and crispy! The free appetizer smoked salmon is small and exquisite, and it is a perfect match with sweet chives. I don’t like the grilled squid very much, and the taste is too dry and soft. My friend’s vegetarian ball seems to be very good. The grilled silver cod is tender, paired with refreshing vegetables and pesto, and the taste is light and very suitable for summer.

A Michelin-starred restaurant, you need to make a reservation about a week in advance, or you can make a reservation by phone. Overall, there is nothing special about it, and the taste is not particularly outstanding. It can only be said that it is neither good nor bad.

Chef Andrew Zimmerman defines the dishes as new American flavors. Sepia was renovated from a printing factory in the 1890s. The overall decoration is very retro and nostalgic. The facade is very unassuming. On the left hand side of the door is a bar and a lounge area where guests can have a drink and wait. The dark tables and chairs highlight the calmness, and the four characteristic retro ceiling lights on the roof illuminate the interior. After we sat down, the waiter directly brought the restaurant week menu. It seems that there are no other choices~ There are 3 dishes in total, including appetizers, main dishes and desserts, and the price is $22 per person. Everyone is very satisfied with the taste of Sepia's dishes. I think the cost-effectiveness is still very high for eating three dishes of this level at $22 per person. At least it attracted me and made me want to try dinner next time. Isn't this the goal that the restaurant strives for~

One-star Michelin in Chicago. It's my first time to eat Michelin. Although it's one-star, it's expensive. It's really delicious, especially the duck breast and the cooked salmon... It's worthy of a Michelin star. The taste is still great.

Sepia is a very famous restaurant chain. I personally like to dine here very much, mainly because I like the environment and service. The dishes are very exquisite, but I like their oatmeal cake the most.
