The Savoy in Wicker Park boasts some of the freshest seafood—and the lengthiest list of absinthe—in Chicago. “There are a lot of nice things about The Savoy,” writes TimeOut Chicago, namely the simple, modern dishes created by executive chef Brian Green (formerly of Purple Pig and Abigail’s). Hungry Chicagoans and tourists alike visit this nautical-themed restaurant for a wide array of savory seafood offerings. Guests can sit at the raw bar for oysters or lounge in the dark, candle-lit back dining room for dishes like crab cakes with roasted garlic vinaigrette, maple mustard-glazed salmon and perfectly seared scallops. And the brunch menu is hearty enough to get guests through the day with options like pork confit salad, pumpkin pancakes, pork belly with braised kale and smoked brisket.
