Beer + Food Double Delight — Moody Tongue Chicago 🍻

I’d seen a lot of posts saying Moody Tongue lost its Michelin star, so I finally visited post‑star — and honestly, the experience was still outstanding. The food was delicious, and prices felt more approachable than when they had the star! Today’s Menu 🍽️ 🦢 Foie Gras A must‑order! Velvety foie gras on crispy toast, melts instantly, paired with bright yuzu jam — rich yet refreshing. 🍜 Angel Hair Pasta Tasted like Chinese‑style tossed noodles! Thin as vermicelli, Asian‑inspired seasoning with crispy garlic — sauce clings perfectly. 🦪 Oysters on the Half Shell Server’s recommendation — two petite oysters, briny and clean, not fishy at all. 🐟 Whole Fish Highly recommended if you love fish! Pricey but a whole fish — crispy skin, firm fresh flesh, served with seasoned beans and kale. The accompanying sauce is tangy, salty, umami‑packed — so appetizing! Beer Flight Highlights 🍺 🌲 Winter Ale — woody aroma, robust bitterness, fragrant. 🍒 Cherry Berliner Weisse — bright cherry sourness, great if you dislike bitter beers. 🌺 Juiced Lychee IPA — clear lychee nose, fruity upfront, finishes with IPA bitterness. 🥝 Cold Kiwi IPA — paired wonderfully with the fish — subtle kiwi, clean bitter finish. 🍊 Grapefruit Gose — fruity, refreshing, not bitter. 🌾 Midwest IPA — classic, hoppy, aromatic. 🌼 Orange Blossom Belgian Blonde — light color, fruity nose, nutty on the palate. 🍍 Fresh Hop Pale Ale — lively tropical fruit aroma. Key Details 📍 🍴 Restaurant: Moody Tongue 📍 Address: 2515 S Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL 60616 💰 Price: $100‑120 per person (includes 3% service surcharge). Portions (except the fish) aren’t huge, but the layered flavors show why this place once held a star. Service was attentive, and the beer pairings (we each had three 4‑oz pours) were spot‑on — no regrets, not too filling. Very reasonable for the quality — a totally worthwhile experience!
