Just a few to get you started!  When you get to town, pick up a Chicogo magazine.  It has a big list with comments and reviews in the back.

Just a quick adjustment on the addresses of some of these Chicago restaurants on Halsted.

Cafe BaBaReBa is about 2000 N. Halsted, not 3000, on the west side of the street.

Blue Mesa is a few blocks south of BaBaReBa on the east side of the street.

Not meaning to be nitpicky, just helpful
