Chicago
Kiki's is absolutely my favorite type of dining experience -- classic, simple exquisitely prepared faire in a classic style restaurant. I went for an early Friday dinner and was really amazed that the ower was actually there and sat us to our table. This set the evening off on the right foot and only got better as it went on!
We were lucky to get a corner table that was away from the hustle and bustle of the other areas. If you're looking for a quieter dining experience, go earlier as the noise levels seem to rise as the evening goes on. Wine by-the-glass is top notch but not belt breaking. Recommend reservations as well.
Started with the Foie Gras which was absolutely amazing (sorry duck lovers!) and I'm glad that's not illegal anymore, haha! Then, went on to the Steak au Poivre which was tender and an excellently prepared pepper sauce -- they didn't hold pack on drowning it in it either. Finished off with Berries and Cream (special request) to end the night.
They seemed to have a fair mix of groups of friends, married couples, dates, groups of girlfriends, etc. so it doesn't seem like you can pin it to one type of crowd. Either way, wonderful dining experience and would go back in a heartbeat.
