Schwa Restaurant
Schwa Restaurant is one of the best american restaurants in Chicago for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Chicago.
Schwa asks an unusual question of its 26 seats: does a Michelin-starred kitchen still earn the occasion when the chefs themselves drop your plates, rap thunders overhead, and you've hauled in your own wine because there isn't a stemware in the building?
