From the restaurant's website:
"As Crofton on Wells enters its 10th year, Chef Suzy Crofton has proven that she is here to stay. With continued national and local culinary recognition, the public seems to agree. In 1998, Crofton on Wells was named by Esquire magazine as one of the best new restaurants of that year. ... Recently Chicago Magazine named Crofton on Wells on of the 20 Very Finest Restaurants in Chicago! In addition they cited the Spicy Herb and Chipotle Amish Chicken as the best chicken preparation in Chicago. Not only does Crofton serve as the chef/owner and general manager, she is responsible for the creation and maintenance of the 150+ wine list. "
Full bar. Serving dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
"With a minimum of attention-grabbing theatrics, chef-owner Suzy Crofton continues to delight knowing palates with her seasonal, contemporary American cuisine, which can range from gamy venison medallions married to a tarragon sabayon cream to Amish chicken enhanced with chipotle glaze and smoky molasses sauce."
