Unique Experiences

Item Description

Breathe new life into your dining landscape with this VIP treatment for up to 4 guests at L2O! Includes a house aperitif to start the evening, an addition course, behind the scenes kitchen tour and a personalized menu.

A dining experience at L2O ranges from the alluring lounge, whre guests may order cocktails and wines by the glass, to the elegant dining room, in which a four-course prix-fixe menu is offered, along with seven-course tasting menus. A meal may begin with a dish of pristine ahi tuna, avocado, tomato, and caviar or hamachi with the complex flavors of uni and shiso-lime vinaigrette. Second courses are elegant and luxurious, ranging from Maine lobster bisque with Calvados to Dover sole with Champagne and brown butter. Inventive third courses range from bouillabaisse with fennel and tomato bouillon to lacquered lobster with black trumpet mushrooms and grapefruit. Desserts vary from an airy souffle scented with Grand Marnier to the chestnut crêpe cake with port and cassis.

Chicago-based Dirk Denison Architects has created a warm modern atmosphere that complements L2O's cuisine with a blend of natural materials and clean lines. Upon entering the restaurant, guests are drawn into a gathering of floor-to-ceiling Macassar ebony columns,  which create a subtle yet dramatic transitional space between the building lobby and the dining room. Gently etched glass panels and stainless steel cable screens glow and shimmer, defining intimate   spaces within the main dining room without breaking sight lines. White leather chairs and caramel-hued settees beckon guests to unwind for the evening around complementary Macassar ebony tables and blond Sen wood paneled walls. A stunning white onyx niche houses a distinctive table for two, which glimmers with golden hues and sets the scene for a romantic evening. L2O hosts exquisite affairs in one semi-private and two fully-private dining rooms.

Sommeliers Richard Hanauer and Allison Frey guide guests through an extensive wine collection, which offers selections from small producers from around the globe. The collection boasts whites from Burgundy and the Loire, as well as extensive array of Rieslings and Pinot Noirs of classic and progressive expressions. L2O’s comprehensive Champagne selection is ripe with aromatic finesse. Sakes hailing from the finest prefectures in Japan provide a playful accent to a meal and are available by the glass and half-bottle, in order to encourage experimentation.

Upholding the highest standards of hospitality, L2O ensures that each guest feels as if he or she were invited to an elegant dinner party. With its innovative cuisine and engaging atmosphere, L2O unveils a fresh perspective on elegant dining.
