With its ever-changing menu, Shikago lets foodies sample the work of one of the city's top chefs, Kevin Shikami, without skipping a car payment for the privilege. With its simple design, chunky wooden tables, and soft ambient-techno music, the restaurant draws a mixed crowd: power suits by day and hip up-and-comers by night. The Vietnamese spring rolls—a crispy blend of papaya and Korean-style short ribs—and the glazed rack of lamb are excellent. The flourless chocolate cake with frozen peanut mousse and black-currant sorbet is a must for dessert. Enter on Adams Street, or you might miss it.
