La Josie
Date nights seem to have fallen by the wayside in recent years thanks to the plethora of food delivery sites, Netflix binging, and the option to weekend brunch instead. But date nights are important, and we’re here to help bring them back! Instead of ordering a pizza, put on some fancy duds and head out on the town with your date tonight. There are plenty of amazing spots in Chicago to wine and dine your love, but these are ones we definitely recommend checking out…and the hard-hitting, top-line reasons why.
Maple & Ash {8 West Maple Street, Chicago; 312.944.8888}
Steak. Candlelight. Velvet seats. Skylight views of the stars. It doesn’t get more romantic than that! Share Classic Steak Frites and their Fork & Knife Ceasar Salad for a perfect meal.

Enso Sushi & Bar {1613 North Damen Avenue, Chicago; 773.878.8998}
Sushi is a captivating meal colorful, fun presentation. Their Ramen and Udon options are the perfect cozy winter meals, but also definitely try the Pork Belly & Spicy Miso Broth and the Salt & Pepper Soft Shell Crab. The Threesome (tuna, yellowtail, and soy marinated salmon nigiri) is also delicious, but don’t get any funny ideas!
La Josie {740 West Randolph Street, Chicago; 312.929.2900}
Add a little heat to date night with La Josie’s Chicharrones, crispy pork skins topped with Serrano chili avocado salsa. Just ordering it will make your heart beat faster! They also have plenty of other shareable items, and gorgeously delicious desserts.
Rhyme or Reason {1938 West Division Street, Chicago; 773.687.8240}
You won’t have your standard date night at Rhyme or Reason! It will be a fun and funky night out at their 70’s inspired gastropub while you take advantage of their awesome happy hour cocktails like Mai Tais and the Rhyme-arita, which run at the bar from 5-8 PM, Wednesday through Friday. Be sure to try the Kung Fu Cauliflower if you stay for dinner!
Press Room {1134 West Washington Boulevard, Chicago; 331.240.1914}
A wine bar is the perfect low-key, cozy date night idea, and this spot should definitely be on your list. They have unique wine and cheese pairing options for vino-lovers, but their small plates like Roasted Squash and Roasted Lamb are also delightful additions.
Torali Italian-Steak {160 East Pearson Street, 12th Floor, Water Tower Place, Chicago; 312.573.5160}
Can’t afford a trip to Italy? No worries, come to Torali instead! This posh steakhouse is the perfect place to impress your date as you dine on menu items like Polenta Fries, Stuffed Calamari, and Yellowfin Crudo. Design buffs will also be huge fans of the gorgeous interiors.
