Evolve Bistro

Ok, I had to really think about whether to write a review here. While it really is a full on restaurant, it’s also the final class for the culinary students at Illinois Institute of Art. That’s right, tomorrows brilliant chefs are cutting their teeth for you right here! That being said is it truly fair to hold them to the same standard as a well established restaurant? Herein lies my dilemma. I really enjoyed the creative plates that I ordered. The regional menu changes every eleven weeks and you can genuinely see the interest and effort put forth by the students in both the front and back of the house. The small plate concept allows you to really enjoy several menu items designed by an experienced chef instructor and executed by the students in a real life setting aimed at preparing them for the culinary world their entering. I strongly recommend stopping in and supporting these talented young creative minds.
