Ten restaurants with one shared instinct: in Chicago the meal is the whole plan for the night, not a pause between errands. The geography holds tight \u2014 River North, Fulton Market, the Loop, West Loop and West Town \u2014 and so does the format: plates arrive in the middle of the table, everybody reaches, and the volume is deliberate. STK Steakhouse puts a DJ behind the beef, Girl & The Goat sends out bold global plates for the whole table to split, and Quartino Ristorante keeps pouring wine by the little carafe well after the rest of the center has folded.<\/p>\n

What separates them is the errand you hand the evening. Aba lifts you to a third-floor terrace with a spread of dips and warm pita; River Roast wheels a carving trolley up to a table by the water; The Purple Pig Restaurant seats you shoulder to shoulder over cheese, salumi and Greek wine near Tribune Tower. Duck Duck Goat turns hand-pulled noodles into a team sport, and The Dearborn holds a deep booth and Midwestern comfort food in the Loop. Pick by the job the night has to do.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n
