Fodor's Expert Review Rhapsody
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Adjacent to the Symphony Center, home of the Chicago Symphony, Rhapsody is more than a handy spot for a preconcert dinner. Chef Dean Zanella works with seasonal, Italian-inspired flavors to create dishes like oven-roasted halibut with braised lobster mushroom ragu. The restaurant is backed by a pleasant urban garden graced with potted palms, wood accents, and picture windows. Rhapsody's handsome bar has an expansive wine-by-the-glass selection as well a solid cocktail list, making this a perfect post-performance hangout.
