Chicago: Saturday Dinner - Boka

OK, the Stained Glass was very good, but dinner on Saturday night was amazing at Boka's.

Apparently the executive chef of Charlie Trotter's opened up this restaurant, and the reviews from the Tribune were very good. Looked at the menu, and Mike and I both realized that there was at least one word that we had no idea what it meant. Basically had to have the server explain everything. Granted the chef was making up words, but still.

Couldn't decide on which sides to get, but that wasn't an issue - when the one side (a risotto made from barley instead of rice) was late, the server went to the kitchen and just brought all of them out. We did have an Alsatian wine (in fact, they had a whole section of Alsatian wine), but it wasn't typical - good, but not typical.

Great place - a recommend for a great night out if you're in Chicago.
