Not a great place or service
by Erik S.
Sepia was nominated for Outstanding Wine Program 2017 James Beard Award.
by Shannon H.
Great wines.
by Ja_Moi_I
Went to Sepia for the Restaurant Week. Food was deli and the service outstanding. Will be back!
by Cristina D.
Andrew Zimmerman is barely a blip on the celebrity-chef radar, perhaps, but he’s a familiar name where it counts: in the industry.
by Chicago Tribune
Lunch does it disappoint though be prepared to spend 90 minutes
by Nauman N.
patio is great
by Caitlin
2014 Clos Cibonne Côtes de Provence Cru Classé Rosé ($15). "An extremely versatile rosé that is more than freshness and approachability,” says advanced sommelier Arthur Hon.
by Eater
Sepia continues to be one of the most consistent restaurants in Chicago. Andrew Zimmerman's menus paired with a cutting-edge beverage program makes it a complete experience.

Incredible food and drinks. The duck breast and the red fish were fantastic, and the wine list is encyclopedic.
by Bobby Kennedy
Fancy place but food was excellent. Somewhat loud environment
by Hank s
Unaccountably posh. But happy hour is a good deal
by Shinji K.
Sunchoke soup was the hit of the evening, plus all the fish dishes are great. Nice selection of interesting wines by the glass and a nice atmosphere overall.
by Larisa Grollemond
Sit down for the trading menu and wine pairing
by Ken
Tasting menu is great value. Good wine list.
by Oh S.
Everything was great! The kale salad, the char, the chicken, the peanut butter and chocolate coconut cake, the ambience, the great service, all great👍👍
by SCOTT B.
Slightly stark (maybe Starck, given the light fixtures?), the apps were not quite spot on, but I had the most technically proficient salmon (with amazing crispy skin) ever.
by Adam T.
Most underrated fine dining in Chicago.
by Chris
Amazing food, amazing service! Definitely recommend!!
by Andrew G.
Staff is very friendly. Good environment. Try the SeaBass.Ask for Andres or Sal to serve you
by C. T.
Awesome cocktails. Sit at the bar and enjoy watching the process
by Matt G.
Sip a retro cocktail with spaghetti and crusty bread. For dessert, it’s malted milk and peanut butter feuilletine. – Green Guide Editor
by Michelin Travel & Lifestyle
Simply flawless.
by Tati
Great experience really good food
by Chris K.
Order the Cat's Pajamas, the house version of a Manhattan. It's, well, the cat's pajamas!
by Kerstin B.
Very good charcuterie, and the most generous charcuterie I've seen in Chicago. Easily enough for a couple of people.
by Kirstjen L.
Like Manhattans? Drink the Cat's Pajamas it's triumphant.
by J.J. W.
The chilled pea soup is really bright and flavorful.

Tasting menu is ANZAING.

Great place.

The winner: the Sepia Mule, the bar’s take on the Moscow Mule, made with ginger-infused vodka for a spicy-yet-refreshing sip: http://tmoutchi.us/13EV7jr

2013 - 1 Michelin Star
by Jeff
Definitely make a reservation with Open Table. We still had to wait for our table even when we were early for the reservation, so it is definitely a good idea.
by Tyler C.
Make sure you or someone you're with know what the fancy terms for the dishes mean.
by Jake Crockett
Andrew Zimmerman's evolving menu specializes in quiet standouts packed with big flavors and fun details, like brûléed miso or smoked potato gnocchi.
by Chicago magazine
The Easter offering takes the form of a holiday prix fixe, with dishes like farmer’s cheese blintzes, a breakfast strada with ramps and shiitake mushrooms, and French toast with bacon butterscotch.
by Time Out Chicago
I recommend the French 75
by Mary Kay H.
The drinks at the bar are amazing. The decor in Sepia is beautiful!
by Chicago Realtor M.
I just hung out at the bar by my lonesome and I felt pretty cool doing it. The old fashion is pretty good, though not the best I've ever had.
by Nick G.
The vegetarian options are very limited, but the root vegetable pot pie was unique and yummy!
by Lauren C.
No time for dinner? Opt for the lounge, a gingery Sepia Mule cocktail and the sweet-salty-smoky flatbread of fresh peaches, creamy blue cheese and bacon

Mr. Pearson serves up some perfectly balanced creations at this gem. True classic cocktails.
by Eric M.
Located in what used to be an 1890 print shop. The Chef seeks to bring back traditional cooking practices while staying at the cutting edge of taste. Dinner only served on Saturdays & Sundays.

OMG The porterhouse pork chop is AMAZING
by ~eb
Very good cocktails, sadly they don't have all the great brands
by Maya R.
Kerry the hostess was awesome and accommodating after tough time finding restaurant
by John M.
Dark and sultry, Sepia is great for a date. Things should go especially well after a few of their expertly stirred cocktails. - Inspector
by Michelin Travel & Lifestyle
tasty food, dreamy owner. :)
by Bryan H.
go early and grab a drink at the bar before your dinner. Sepia has some of the best, most creative and tasty cocktails in the city.

Beautiful food, great service. My new go-to place for a working lunch!
by Elizabeth T.
Frisée salad with poached duck egg and bacon is our go-to for a smaller lunch. Here it is simple but well-executed, the salad's vinaigrette and lightly pickled shallots setting off the richer flavors.
by Crain's Chicago Business
Making reservations for 5 or more? Ask 4 table 60 or 70. Both are private w a view. You're in for a treat
by Shave R.
Buttermilk ice cream adds an unexpected but welcome tang to white chocolate mascarpone tart scented with cinnamon, and coconut ice cream sets off tropical fruit compote with passion fruit rum sauce.
by Crain's Chicago Business
a classic Bombay sapphire martini comes in a classic coupe. and it is simply delicious.
by Janet J.
Get the bacon wrapped trout and the French 76 drink
