Redfish.

Another place to try is Heaven on Seven...at either their Wabash & Washington location (entrance just north of Crate and Barrel), or at 600 N Michigan (entrance at Rush & Ohio).

I was there for their opening - and my sisters were there recently. It is very good.  The menu has most all of the items from the original location as well as more.  Additionally the drinks are excellent (I recommend both the Cajun Bloody Mary and the Lemonade Martini)

It sure is - and is still open for dinner two nights a month...

Try Dixie Kitchen in Hyde Park.  It's on Harper Ave. (in Harper Court) at 53rd St.  The gumbo is great and don't miss the fried green tomatoes. They also serve these corn muffins with all the food which are absolutely delicious.  You would need a reservation at this place --it's always packed.
