It all started when…
ATMOSPHERE:
Fine art, black walnut walls, Roman clay ceilings, Shou Sugi Ban from the Japanese Nakamoto forest surrounds you as you dine in a luxurious velvet seat around an intimate U-shaped Caesarstone quartz counter. At Konro, everyone has VIP access to our open kitchen while Chef prepares and describes each dish in front of your eyes. We offer much more than dinner; We offer an experience.
MENU:
You will enjoy a 10-14 course tasting menu of the best Japanese ingredients with classic old world techniques. Other superlative ingredients from around the world will also be available.
WINE PROGRAM:
Our ever-changing pairing is a mix of classic and avant-garde producers from select parts of the world, inspired by and in line with the flavors of Chef's creations.
SPIRIT FREE NA PROGRAM:
Chef prepares a full nonalcoholic pairing for those who choose to have another beverage option. This pairing is truly special because Chef is over five years sober and takes deep pride into crafting each beverage himself.
BEHIND THE NAME:
Konro is a Japanese grill that Chef's signature A5 "drunken" wagyu is tripled seared over rare binchotan charcoal all seasoned with a 12 year old "tare"; Japanese whisky barrel aged soy sauce from Kyoto, Japan. This dish is one of the reasons that earned him two Michelin stars from his first restaurant in Chicago, Il, as well as earning Best New Chef award from Food & Wine Magazine in 2015.
