​​Summer Riverside Dining in Chicago! 🌞🍽️​​

When my European colleague asked for ​​"real American food"​​, I panicked—until I found ​​The Kitchen American Bistro​​ by the river! 🎉 Went once, loved the ​​tiny-but-fancy dishes​​, and had to return! ​​🍽️ TODAY'S MENU​​ 📌 ​​Octopus​​ 🐙 – ​​Tender, fresh​​, with a ​​tangy-spicy sauce​​ (potatoes dipped in it = ​​🔥​​). 📌 ​​Crispy Cod​​ 🐟 – ​​Crunchy like dragon beard candy​​ (childhood nostalgia!), but fish was ​​a bit fishy​​. 📌 ​​Rigatoni Bolognese​​ 🍝 – ​​Classic, cozy​​, tiny but ​​perfectly saucy​​. 📌 ​​Garlic Fries​​ 🍟 – ​​Biggest portion!​​ Garlicky, crispy, ​​dip-worthy​​. 📌 ​​Apricot in the Middle​​ 🍸 – ​​Tart lemon > apricot​​, but refreshing! 📌 ​​Rosabella Rosé​​ 🥂 – ​​Sweet, bubbly​​, perfect for riverside sipping. ​​💡 KEY DETAILS​​ 📍 ​​The Kitchen American Bistro​​ 316 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60654 💰 ​​~$70-80/person​​ (with drinks) ​​🌟 WHY GO?​​ ✅ ​​Riverside views​​ = ​​insta-worthy​​ 📸 ✅ ​​Small plates​​ = ​​great for light eaters​​ (or snackers!). ✅ ​​Creative twists​​ on classics—​​not your average bistro​​. #ChicagoEats #RiversideDining #AmericanBistro #FoodieFaves #SummerInChicago
