Where the Locals Eat Rating
Top 100 Restaurant, Chicago
"one sixtyblue came to life combining the notion of a forgotten address, 160 Loomis, with what our neighbors called "the big blue building". To them, one sixtyblue was once home of a pickle factory, but now this stylish neighborhood restaurant artfully blends vibrant seasonal flavors, modern traditions and an easy charm.
Savor Chef Michael McDonald's American cuisine that celebrates daily life guided by market-fresh inspiration. Today one sixtyblue defines the art of leisurely dining at the American table."
