Need a GREAT restaurant in Chicago for Brother's 50th BDay
 

I would love to buy his a gift certificate for a great restaurant. I can spend up to $150 (for 2 or 4 people). He lives on the west side (River Forest), I live in Los Angeles and know nothing about where to go that is not too expensive, but really nice. He doesnt mind driving into downtown. He loves Sushi or Seafood.
Thank you so much.

You might consider a lettuce entertain you gift certificate. They have an entire group of restaurants in the city and suburbs of Chicago with many varieties most in the moderate price range but fun atmosphere. And it is easy to buy gift certificates on their website from out of town. http://www.leye.com

My husband and I just ate at Naha's in downtown Chicago. We liked it so much that we ate there twice during our week stay and bought a gift certificate for my sister and husband's anniversary. We made it for $150 to make sure to cover cocktails, appetizers, entrees and desserts. It was less than that for my husband and myself. Check out the interesting menu: http://www.naha-chicago.com/

Rick Bayless' Frontera Grill is fabulous http://www.rickbayless.com/restaurants/grill.html

Hey Suzzutte,

Both Naha and Frontera Grill seem to look like great suggestions. I'm sure your brother will love whichever place you decide to go with, but make sure to check out the reviews before you decide... good luck!
