Free Rein - Chicago
American contemporary in concept, Free Rein is not your average hotel eatery. Situated on the lobby level of the St. Jane Hotel in downtown Chicago, the restaurant features global accents in all their glory, from techniques to ingredients.
From duck confit spring rolls and grilled Carolina shrimp to ricotta gnocchi and chicken a la plancha, the menu seamlessly spans the globe. Most dishes are also shareable, which makes Free Rein a great option for larger groups.
For those looking for more conventional fare, there's a burger on the menu as well as flank steak, steamed mussels and simple salads. There's also an adjacent bakery/cafe, which serves breakfast and lunch.
