Next

Sat outside on a beautiful night and had a good experience at Next. The inside looked more elegant and like the service was a bit more thoughtful and attentive.The food was incredibly creative and beautifully presented. The flavors were good but nothing that really blew us away. Overall, I'd recommend sitting inside and enjoying creative food. That said, the flavors were not mind blowing and portions ran very small -- making it a bit of a poor value.

Next is outstanding. Service, food, ambiance. We were 30 minutes late due to never ending construction on Edens and accident. We emailed staff to let them know. They were gracious as well as accommodating.Each course was a discovery of flavors - some familiar, many new and exciting. The staff is gracious and friendly in an authentic manner. Each staff person seemed to uniquely enjoy his or her position in this theatre of dining. Don't miss Bobby Flay. Each dish memorable. This is our 3rd visit to Next and each one was delightful. Thank you.

I made a long-awaited return to Chicago a couple of months ago and had the pleasure of dining at Next to try their Julia Child menu. I've been a big fan of Grant Achatz ever since I visited Alinea over a decade ago and he did not disappoint. I won't bother going into too much detail regarding each menu item since the menu changes relatively frequently, but everything was delicious. We also added the Ossetra Caviar and Canard a l'Orange as supplemental courses. Service was excellent as expected, and the ambiance is intimate - great for a special occasion or date.

NEXT was a spot my boyfriend reserved to take me to go to. It was a wonderful surprise tasting the dishes they created with Bobby Flay as their inspiration. The service is great like other Michelin Star Restaurants. Michelin star spots tend to have flavors that are different and interesting. I really enjoyed the experience and their avocado dessert. The ambiance is wonderful. We had a table for 6 seated in front of the kitchen so we had a wonderful view of the chefs cooking and also cleaning (since we had booked for 8:30pm).

My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday. The theme was Julia Child and Next did her proud.The service from beginning to end was exceptional. That's a big statement considering how much staff you interact with here. Everyone who we interacted with was smart, friendly, and coordinated with one another. As they bring out each course, they explain to you what it is you're eating which is great but sometimes they were rushed and spoke too quickly which forced us to make them repeat themselves. Each course and wine paring harkened back to a different point in Julia's life and career and they (mostly) did a great job of celebrating that. I won't describe each dish, but we were blown away by each of them. Truly each one was fantastic including, no surprise here, the multi-sensory experience that was the Boeuf Bourguignon dish. A showstopper for sure, and it had better be. We opted for the truly upsell which make the dish that much more special (though we'd skip it next time). The only misses, and I know I am being super picky, is the decor of the space itself once you're inside, was underwhelming. I know the restaurant has revolving themes but still, it was nowhere near as magical as the food and staff. I would say the other miss was the music; there was nothing Julia Child or French about any of it. TBH it seemed like a random Spotify play list. I only mention these things because it brought us out of the fantasy, just slightly though. Overall, phenomenal. Don't miss this place. We can't wait to come back for the next theme!

Everything about this dinner was pefection. Service was spot on, wine pairings top notch and courses that simply built upon one another. Hard to select a favorite - my wife and I were torn between the fish and beef course. Tremendous way to celebrate 25 years of marriage!

The restaurant was very dark and crowded. You were being distracted by the theater playing in front of you and all around. What can I say about the food? Well, I guess at that time the restaurant was doing the "World's Fair" menu. You definitely needed a dinner reservation made weeks in advance which was done on Tock. The dinner was a 8-course meal for two and no wine pairing but still very $$$$$. When my husband made the reservation he was thinking this restaurant was more like Noma in Copenhagen which he was very fortunate to get a table back in 2019, but it was definitely nothing like it. The desserts were great but nothing else. We went to this restaurant for our wedding anniversary so this was was a very special occasion. When we made the reservation we didn't did think the food was going to be terrible but it was. Very disappointed. Definitely not going back.

Reserved my birthday dinner at Next, which is located in the Fulton Market area. There's parking on the streets but no valet parking as advertised. Found the restaurant slightly difficult to find as its sign was obscured by poor lighting and covered by a winter vestibule.Upon entering, we were pleasantly greeted and welcomed by enthusiastic staff who seated us right away. The restaurant was cozy and unpretentious. A little disappointed as they did not have a full bar. Only wine and beer offered; however, patrons can walk next door to The Aviary for an extensive bar.All the wait staff assigned to us were very friendly, efficient, anticipated our needs, and very informative of the dishes presented to us. As advertised, it was a truly immersive dining experience taking us on a tour of Tuscany, highlighting it's regional specialties. All of the dishes presented were delectable and exquisitely plated. What prevented me from giving it a five star was the two pasta dishes; Raviolo and Papardelle. Pasta was slightly undercooked. Hard to chew. Worth its Michelin star rating and would recommend for the dining and experience.

Had a really wonderful and rich experience here. It starts with a warm and friendly welcome at the front and the rest you're taken well care of. Everything tasted wonderful. We got the Julia Child menu and the plating, decor, and styling was fun and full of retro glamour.

We came in for the Julia Child menu. The food was delicious. Maybe the beef stew was a little saltier than I would like and the dessert was super rummy but they needed it to make the flambé happen. Interior is on the more packed side but they do try to make it special with the TV. Loved the butter cart and especially the duck. Service was super friendly too. I'd come back to try their other menus.
