Buzzed-about restaurant Travelle opened in the Langham Chicago hotel last August with spots for entertaining groups of varying sizes. Designed by the Rockwell Group, the 125-seat restaurant has an 81-seat bar. The beverage program was inspired by the corporate culture of the 1960s and includes mobile bar carts, allowing servers to prepare martinis and Manhattans table-side. Seating combines custom and mid-century pieces, and the focal point is a backlit wall with a 30-foot digital art display. A wine room with a tasting area and Chicago River views can host wine tastings for 10. A chef's table next to the expo kitchen seats eight. Chef Tim Graham, a veteran of Tru, serves Mediterranean-inspired fare including flaming chicken saganaki with pita 'balloons' and the 'Seafood Elevation,' which offers bowls of shrimp, oysters, lobster, and King crab in separate bowls on a custom stand.

Master Sommelier Alpana Singh plans to open the Boarding House in River North this fall. With multiple floors, the upscale restaurant and wine bar will take over a vintage building that was—appropriately—a boardinghouse at one time. Billed as the city's first restaurant to be owned by a master sommelier, the eatery will offer wine-driven menus developed by chef Christian Gosselin of Sofitel Chicago and Bistronomic. In the cellar and first-floor wine bar, the menu will focus on California-style pizzas, shared plates, and charcuterie. The second level, called the Blue Room, will serve as the private dining room. On the third level, Room 720 will have a beveled ceiling made of wine bottles and bay windows overlooking the city skyline. In Room 720, the chef will serve globally inspired entrées made with local ingredients.
