I have one night to eat a good meal in Chicago and want to take advantage of my Chase Sapphire credit, so these are my 3 options. Before remembering I had the credit, I had settled on either Rose Mary or Daisie's, but when I looked at the latter again recently there are some new negative reviews, which made me nervous.
Momotara was recommended to me by locals who have eaten there multiple times. It's not what I would normally pick, but I do like Asian food and thought the menu looked good, and I like the idea that I could try more things there (I will be dining solo).
Boka's menu looks amazing, so bummer that I won't get to try more than a few dishes (pretty sure I don't want to do a tasting menu). Based on food alone it seems like the no brainer, but I'm not sure I'm feeling the more formal fine dining setting for a solo dinner. I've done it plenty of times and am just not enthusiastic, but I could be convinced. It's also the worst location wise for me but that's not a big deal.
The most important things to me are delicious food, friendly service, and good cocktails/wine. Which do you suggest I choose and why?
