Things To Do
Bar Mar by José Andrés
Our ceremony and reception are being held upstairs but feel free to pop into the ground-floor restaurant before the ceremony! They will have a section of tables reserved for anyone who comes in, under "Wilkinson/Mitchell".
Gibsons Italia
One of our favorite special occasion spots. Beautiful river views and incredible food!
Lula Cafe
If you're willing to make the trek up to Logan Square, this is one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. Innovative menu, great ambiance and service!
Trivoli Tavern
Delicious food in a super fun area. If you can't get a reservation here, try any of their sister restaurants; Armitage Alehouse, Bavette's, Ciccio Mio or Gilt Bar (we love them all!)
Andy's Jazz Club & Restaurant
Dinner and a show! One of our favorite date night spots.
Duck Duck Goat
Upscale Chinese, delicious.
The Bagel Restaurant and Deli
Our favorite Sunday ritual.
Riccardo Enoteca
Our favorite date night Italian!
The Green Mill
Best Jazz Club in the city (maybe on earth).
Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
Our personal choice for deep dish in Chicago. If you want to order like us, start with the Malnati Salad and share a half sausage/half cheese deep dish.
Virtue Restaurant
Our favorite chef, Damarr Brown, runs the kitchen at Virtue. It might be a bit of a trek to Hyde Park but the food is well worth it.
Cindy's Rooftop
Great rooftop with views of Millennium Park and Lake Michigan. Highly recommend for brunch or pre-dinner drinks!
Le Bouchon
Where we celebrate our anniversary (12/13) every year! Feels like stepping into Paris.
Hopleaf
Our favorite gastropub with an amazing beer and wine list and the best mussels in the city!
5 Rabanitos Restaurante & Taqueria
Our favorite Mexican restaurant in Pilsen.
Time Out Market Chicago
Great way to try a lot of different bites from all over the city!
La Scarola
Red sauce Italian in River West.
