Inventive approaches to classics like shrimp gumbo, steak and potato, butternut soup, mushroom risotto, carrot cake... etc.
I feel that it is fair to judge similar caliber restaurants against each other. On the spectrum of avant-garde cuisine, I would have to give kudos to Alinea over Graham Elliot. In the dishes that worked, Grant Achatz was brilliant. That said, where Alinea sometimes stumbled was attempting dishes that were novel for the sole sake of surprising the diner. (Execution without reason, even in the artistic, postmodernist sense, is a flawed trait.)
I thoroughly enjoyed the tasting menu at GE. The courses were still chic, daring, and thoughtful; they prompted us to ask ourselves, "Wow... What exactly am I eating?"
But, after a few more chews... "Oh, I get it."
Unlike our experience with Chef Achatz, Graham Elliot consistently managed to bring the journey full circle. For the undecided, I would recommend GE over Alinea.
My husband took me here on our first wedding anniversary. This was ou first chef style multiple course dining experience. We took the ultimate chef's eperience and they catered to our vegetarian needs. The food was great with amazing flavours that were new to me, but the service was very slow!! We were there for over 3 hours! Overall nice experience, but may not go back considering the time consuming experience and the high expense!
Review Source:I laugh as I read a previous Yelper mention Graham Elliot as their back up when Next fell through. In my maybe not so humble opinion, Next doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as GE.
We celebrated a 30th birthday here with friends opting for the chef's menu with wine pairings and were absolutely blown away. Magic happens here, my friends, and I have no doubt it all stems from the passion Chef has for every facet of the dining experience. At the conclusion of the meal our party was offered a look inside the kitchen and let me tell you, what a well oiled machine. It was a pleasure to spend a Saturday night hanging out at Graham Eliott and I hope you get to visit sometime soon!
Two weeks till our 4th anniversary...non-season tickets to Next didn't happen...6:30pm reservations to 2-Michelin star restaurant in Chicago = WIN!!!
The big question mark menu is the way to go! Portions are quite small, but after 3 hours of bites, we were definitely full. Seemed like salt was prevalent in all the dishes, even dessert.
I wish we could have bottomless bowls of "pasta" sheets made of flattened lobster, the duck, tri-tip, shrimp, shortbread w/foie gras & cherry jam, and a phenomenal butternut squash consomme (how do you make broth from a creamy vegetable?!?).
The dishes came out fast -a relief between small bursts of flavor.
I was surprised by the muted decor - would expect GEB to have a more lively interior. The browns, greens, and lichen seems to fit better at Sprout in Lincoln Park.
Complimentary sparkling wine and sherry for our anniversary (fantastic service!) and a visit from GEB himself were the cherry on top!
Graham Elliott recently received a second Michelin star--congratulations! While the food was artistically presented, the service was doting and impeccable, and the ambiance was delightfully understated and chic, at the end of the day you want to leave feeling full. We were not full at the end of our 10-course tasting menu, so am knocking off a star. (Actually, would rate the food a 3, and the service a 5, so calling it a 4.)
The service was truly spectacular. We booked a few months in advance on OpenTable, and mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary. For this, we received an autographed menu with a personalized message on it, and a lovely glass of champagne at the start of our meal. They made us feel like super special celebrities!
But... my husband was still really hungry after the meal, so we had to make a second stop after leaving the resto. Will we be back? Maybe... I wonder if the a la carte portions are bigger?
Haven't been here in over a year but since I now made a yelp account I figured I could write a review for this place. I really, really loved the food here. I had the small tasting menu which included
The Truffled popcorn (is yummy and not too filling in between the wait for your next dish)
1) Fois-lly pops are a concoction of fois gras shaped into a circle, with watermelon Pop Rocks
2) Caesar salad w/mascarpone stuffed 'twinkie' brioche crouton, parmesan, a whole anchovy
3) Spring pea soup w/mint marshmallow (This was freakin' awesome!!!)
4) Halibut with morels, fiddlehead, with a cabernet sauce
5) Wagyu with sunchoke, watercress, pecorino (Best dish of the night. My meat was perfectly cooked).
6) Chocolate/almond/apricot/caramel
CON: The only thing about this place I can say  that might be a con is how loud it is in the restaurant.
OVERALL: It's not cheap but I would totally recommend this to foodies!
This. Is. Not. Food. Â It is gel. Â And foam. Â And cream. Â And fluff. Â Food is meat, vegetables, bread - in recognizable form. Â I'm all for deconstructed dishes, and even a little well-placed high-tech molecular gastronomy, but this was way beyond that. Â GE turns food into art, but forgets that it has to be eaten. Â
We went with the 10 course tasting menu plus the wine pairings. Â The wine is the only thing garnering that second star, and note that I did not say wine "pairings," as there's no such thing as wine that pairs well with foam. Â In fact, I had one of the worst hangovers of my life the next day, after drinking so much wine and eating virtually zero food. Â I honestly can't even name things we particularly liked, and it hasn't even been a week since we went. Â I believe the soup at least resembled soup, which is a plus, and the the meat was good, as long as you're OK with a portion the size of a woman's thumb.
I'm fine with paying big bucks for an out of this world meal, but this was a joke and a total waste of $400+. Â Don't waste your money.
Came here for the tasting menu. Overall liked the creative/tongue in cheek touch with food, and the laidback yet trendy atmosphere. The foielipop was an interesting experience, but super-rich, which explains the lollipop portion. Loved the truffle butter popcorn so much I almost put up a fight when the waiter took it away. The food was a tad rich, so by the 9th course I was about ready to burst. The fish dishes were all very well-executed, and the wagyu tartare had a hint of smokiness that really took it to the next level. Desserts were a little too adventurous for my traditional palate.
Review Source:Dinner of 12/19/12
I really thought this review would be different.  I was prepared to love it  and be really impressed.  We opted for the tasting menu and wine pairings. Â
The good: AWESOME wine choices. Â 100% worth the price for the pairing. Â It was fantastic. Â Service was really attentive--honesty it was a bit hovering for me, but that is to be expected from this place so I don't judge them for that. Â Cool look and atmosphere was good. Â I like that it isn't overly fancy and the music was played at the right level to drown out other tables conversations so you don't have to hear them. Â
Not so good: Â The courses weren't fantastic. Â Some were better than others but some were not totally "cooked"--they did substitute one course for us so that was great. Â But we felt like the lobster was just a tad underdone and our duck breast was a little less than room temp. Â It just wasn't cooked perfectly in more than one course. Â For the money and the reputation you have to be on point with that. Â I enjoyed the desserts. Â We really didn't like the cauliflower and we really like the sweet breads course. Â So it was just all over the place as far as consistency was concerned.
Ultimately we also felt that the portions were just a bit too small. Â I know its a tasting menu and I have been down the fancy pants road before but it was really not adequate. Â Its a simple thing like this: 2 pieces of sweetbread should have been 4; the one piece of duck breast was good sized but the fried dark meat was too small; the lobster was probably big enough but the beef definitely wasn't. Â The best portion size ended up being the chocolate dessert. Â Â
We left unsatisfied with a $600 bill for 3 people. Â It was a splurge birthday/christmas/going away dinner so we were going to go big on the expense but it isn't acceptable to leave the restaurant a little hungry when you spent $200 a person. Â
I wanted it to be great and really wasn't---I would not recommend this to an out of towner. Â You can get way better food for less money in a different style OR you can get way better food in the same style for pretty much the same price (though reservations might be harder to get).
The self-proclaimed foodies I know love this place. They talk a lot about the imaginative this and the inspired that. One of them recommended this place so I thought Ã'd try it out.
I'm someone who loves the taste of food- not the pretention surrounding fine dining. I don't care much for the 1 minute story of how the single mushroom I am eating grows 30 feet away from this rare tree which gives the mushroom a unique taste. That's what Graham Elliot is all about.
I bit into the 'rare' mushroom and guess what? It tasted like a mushroom...
The food was not good, underwhelming, not filling and just flat out strange. There were stones in my soups, pine cones in my salad, and weird seaweed-like (possibly inedible?) plants in my dishes.
I get that this place is trying to be different, but there is a limit. I had the pre-fixe chef taster menu with the wine pairings. The bill was $400 dollars for me and my date.
Absolutely not worth it. Food was OK at best, value was 0 stars.
Brought my friend here for her first Michelin starred restaurant experience. Â The service was definitely Michelin star worthy, though I would say L2O has them beat.
The dress code is "smart casual" but while we were there it was definitely more on the casual side. Â That's actually my preference, so note to self for the future: no need to break out the fancy jeans.
Food wise we only had time for the prix fixe menu as my friend had to leave to catch a flight. Â I had:
- Amuse - white soy jelly I think with yuzu. Â I really didn't care for this at all. Â The flavor reminded me of Chinese herbal jelly medicine or something. Â
- Pear - this was beautiful and the flavors complemented each other really well. Â I loved this dish, my favorite of my 3 courses.
- Beef - I would've tried the duck but I had that the night before. Â The meat was tender and well flavored, but overall didn't make me feel as though I was trying something new and inventive. Â The dish came with pine needles and a pine cone for presentation and aromatics. Â While it looked attractive, it was a little annoying to avoid the pine needles when I was trying to combine all the flavors in one bite on my fork.
- Carrot - This dessert was perfect for me as I'm not a fan of the overly sweet. Â This dish definitely had more character than the beef and was not as rich as the chocolate.
- Ending Yuzu - they brought another bite with the jelly and said that this bite was sweet rather than savory (maybe I mixed up which one was sweet/savory between this and the amuse) but I really hesitated to put it in my mouth. Â It again was really not good. Â
My friend had, (and I tried bites of):
- Cauliflower - this was stellar. Â The cauliflower terrine in particular was inventive and delicious. Â Gave the dish a richer quality. Â An absolute standout.
- Monkfish - The monkfish and rutabega were cooked to perfection, though similar to the beef I'm not sure that I would say the flavors were very exotic.
- Chocolate - the ganache was very rich and while it complemented the flour-less chocolate cake well, there was a little too much of it. Â My friend left some on the plate as it got a little too rich for her.
She agreed with me on the amuse and the ending yuzu. Â We just really didn't care for the flavor profile at all.
For the price I think it's worth a try. Â No need to wear your stretchy pants as the portions will not leave you overstuffed, but rather pleasantly satisfied.
I'd be more inclined to try the tasting menu if the amuse and ending flavors weren't so off. Â On the plus side, all the actual selections we made were superb. Â
Probably would've gotten 4 stars if not for the miss on the yuzu.
Lucky number 13 on my Michelin Star list and the third two starer is Graham Elliot. Â I have to say I had high expectations considering we dined there the day after they received their second star. Â Overall, compared to other Michelin caliber restaurants, I'd put it at average. Â The service was better, but the food not quite as good so overall an average experience.
I was a fan of the decor. Â It was not what I was expecting but I think the warm colors and exposed brick made it nice and cozy, not uptight. Â I was surprised that is was only about 25% full on a Thursday evening. Â It is quite quiet in there, which I liked but the strange music selection, not so much. Â I have to say the service was impeccable. Â The dishes came out very promptly but not in a manner that made us feel rushed. Â The attention to detail in explaining the dishes was much appreciated and the staff was extremely pleasant. Â Service was on par with Trotters. Â Also the plating was absolutely perfect.
The three of us got the tasting menu with wine pairings. Â To be honest, none of the pairings stood out to me. Â I love it when you have a great pairing that just makes the dish transformed but none of us thought any of them did that. Â I like how they compose the wine list though...all Pinot Noirs and Rieslings. Â They want to showcase the difference in the grapes based on where they're grown. Â I think that was a clever idea. Â They also chose wines that were good values, 90 pointers that are around the $25 mark. Â I think that's a good idea since many times you can never actually buy the wines you get at some of these places due to the limited cases produced. Â That being said for an extra $55, not sure I'm getting my money's worth but that's not too big a deal given that I did enjoy most of the wines.
The food was just not there for all three of us. Â We all found the amuse bouche off putting. Â It was very sour. Â I know it's supposed to wake up your pallet but I'd prefer it in a smoother manner. Â The first course was a cauliflower dish that was stellar. Â I absolutely loved it. Â I was hoping it would go up from there but that was the high note for me on the menu. Â The sweetbreads were good but tiny even for the tasting size. Â There was a butternut squash soup that was unbelievably aromatic and we all were just wanting to smell it all night. Â Unfortunately the taste was not nearly as good as the nose. Â Not that it was bad, nothing we had was, but just underwhelmed is the best way to put it. Â The worst dish was probably the lobster as all three of us had overcooked lobster. Â The rest were good, even some great, but nothing that blew me away. Â If I went back I may try to sit at the bar and try something off the prix fixe menu.
My husband and I ventured from our neighborhood and decided to try the well reviewed Graham Elliot.
For dinner we opted for the priced fix menu of $75 which consisted of 3 courses with a different choice for each. Â Overall, very nice presentation, but the priced fixed menu should be listed as a tasting as the portions are extremely small....Really small. Â Needless to say, we left hungry after a $300 bill. Â To make the situation worse, we had to wait 20 + minutes for our valet to even make an appearance to retrieve our car.
The positives of the restaurant were great service and the host was very accommodating, especially when the valet was delayed. Â However, with the delay we still had a $12 fee.
If you plan on leaving satisfied that you have had a meal, I do not recommend this restaurant.  We felt that the hype about this place is like the tale  "The Emperor's New Clothes". The portions are almost invisible!  Â
Lesson learned, look at the menu first and read reviews. Â We will not return or recommend this place for anyone that wants more than a tasting.
SERVICE
It was a Saturday night and last minute my boyfriend and I decided to go out for a great meal. I called around 7:30 and asked if we could get a table in the next few hours, I was impressed with how polite and accommodating the host was. From the moment we arrived to the movement we left the service was outstanding. I could tell that everyone was doing everything in their power to make sure we had a great evening. Aside from generally great service, they found us a more intimate location, brought a decanter for our wine, grabbed us a cab and had my coat ready as we were leaving. Â
FOOD
Beyond all expectations, the all the courses were unique & fabulous! We went for the "Chef's Menu" so that we could get a full view of the chef's artistry. Completely up to par with TRU, Charley Trotters and a few others of its class this chef combines traditional world flavors with the most innovative cooking concepts and does it very well. Some of our most favorite courses were cauliflower, razor clam and lobster. Having a menu to take home was an elegant touch (a true foodie would appreciate)
WINE & COCKTAILS
While they offer a variety of trendy sophisticated cocktails, the wine list wasn't horrible but not up to par with their food. I noticed a very small by-the-glass section, but even by the bottle list wasn't very interesting or unique.
ATMOSPHERE
We loved the casual setting with clean lines, exposed brick and hipster waiters in fitted sport coats and skinny jeans. It's a great alternative to places that require some serious dressing-up to receive this caliber of food & service. Â However the place could use a bit of touch-up here is there. Their glass art is interesting but doesn't pop...
OVERALL
Great food! Great value! Great service!
This is not the review I expected to write.  My family and I are big fans of Fox's Master Chef so we had high expectations for this restaurant, not to mention that Graham Elliot is a Michelin starred chef.  We arrived at 8pm on a Friday night with a guest to find the restaurant quiet.  Only two were seated at the bar and the tables were spaced out quite a bit giving the impression of an empty room.  We started with a bottle of champagne that was barely above room temp. Champagne is supposed to be served at 45°F and perhaps it was. But, I like my champagne cold as if chilled on ice.  We did not make a fuss because we were celebrating a special event with our guest and did not want to spoil the mood. Â
On to the menu; Â there were three options. Â A price fixed menu for $75, a nine course tasting menu for $110, and a mystery 15 course tasting menu for $160. Â Wine pairing was available for an additional fee. Â Normally my husband and I would have ordered the tasting menu but we settled for the price fixed menu as my sons wanted no surprises. Â The menu consisted of three courses with three choices available for each course. Â We presumed that everything on the appetizer and entree section of that menu was included in the other menus so we coordinated to insure that one of each item was ordered.
I felt awkward taking out a camera to photograph the food so I will do my best to describe the dishes. Â
First an amuse bouche was brought out.  It consisted of a small button sized gelé with a citrus foam.  My son said it tasted like a 30 year old sour gummy bear. lol  He wasn't far off.  It was very salty, so I did not care for it.  My appetizer consisted of a slice of a roquefort custard tart topped with small slices of pear.  The presentation was beautiful.  The taste was not.  I love roquefort and was looking forward it. But, the cheese completely overpowered the pear.  This was a big miss.  The broth appetizer was just under a cup sized portion.  I found it a bit sweet.  My husband loved it.  Because it was so small I didn't ask for a taste of the cauliflower appetizer.  It was two matchbook sized squares of cauliflower, maybe even smaller.  It did not look appetizing at all. Â
The three entrees were sturgeon, short rib (I think), and lamb. Â I ordered the sturgeon. It was placed on a green apple salad. Â It was delicious. Â The portion was rather small considering it was the second of only three small courses. Â The short rib consisted of two 1.5" x 1.5 " x 1" sized portions of beef garnished with an 8" pine branch and small pine. Â The presentation was stunning. Â My husband enjoyed it. Â Too bad the garnish was not edible. Â For the lamb course, imagine two small handfuls of two inch long McDonalds' french fries placed side by side on the rim of a plate. Â Now imagine these fries are strips of lamb. Â There was nothing on the middle of the plate and not a drop of sauce for additional flavor. Â The lamb looked like the garnish sitting on the outer edge of an empty plate. Â That was either a big mistake or a big miss, maybe both. Â I don't remember what the verdict was on the taste. Â
On to the desert course. Â The waiter recommended the carrot dessert. Â It turned out to be the worst of the three. Â It looked like semi dehydrated carrot slices sprinkled on a plate. Â It was more of a punishment than a treat. Â The chocolate dessert was surprisingly generous in comparison to everything else. It consisted of two large tablespoons of delicious chocolate ice cream and several pieces of chocolate cake, imagine very large crumbs of cake. Â I had some chai panna cotta type matchbook sized dessert. Â Delicious, by far the best of the desserts.
The night ended with a stop at the hotel bar for a burger and fries. Â
Bottom line, the more I though about it ,the more offended I felt. Â The price fixed menu is really a three course tasting menu. Â It should be removed from the menu altogether, because it guarantees diners will leave hungry and disappointed. When a Michelin star restaurant asks top dollar for three very small courses of rather ordinary ingredients (ie: cauliflower, roquefort, and chocolate cake) it had better be spectacular. Â
What did I learn? Â
1) Read the Yelp reviews more carefully. Â
2) When a restaurant only offers a tasting menu, beware. They are not interested in repeat customers. Â Why go back when you have already tasted everything on the menu?
Final note: Â I went back to the Master Chef episode that showcased three dishes from this restaurant. Â None of them are currently on the menu. However it is evident the portions were doubled, at the very least ,for the show. Â Now I feel duped as well as offended.
Look. Â Was excited for a culinary experience. Â What I got was great service and we went with the wine pairing which was exceptional. Â However, the food was the weakest part of the night! Â I was hoping to be wowed and there was a mild enjoyment from time to time but, nothing was memorable and I was left underwhelmed. Â If it wasn't for the staff I I would be even lower. Â I believe that the restaurant needs to re-focus on the dishes and make the culinary expectation be the foremost reason for being open. Right now it feels lifeless and unimaginative.
Review Source:On somewhat of a whim, I joined a friend from DC who is on a year-long road trip for a meal here the other night. Â I'll basically never turn down an invite to a meal whether it's a hot dog at Jimmy's or a place like this. Â I always feel kind of bad writing critical reviews because I hate to be "that guy", and I realize how hard it is to craft an experience, but I also can't help to be anything but honest.
Obviously, you go in here having some rather bold and substantial expectations. Â Chef Elliot is quite the guy---having been on several cooking match shows (or whatever you call them---I don't watch much tv) and being quite the Chicago chef-restaurateur. Â I had been to Grahamwich which I absolutely loved and would likely be broke from if I lived nearer to it, but never Graham Elliot or GEB.
Anyways, I arrived and quickly appreciated the location and adaptation of this place. Â I always appreciate restaurants that are in buildings that have been adaptively re-used...it makes them unique. Â The rustic, loft-like feel of an old 1920's-era Chicago industrial building turned modern yuppie dining spot is so apropos. Â Plus, I also enjoy the relaxed, casual anti-stuffy nature. Â It's clear they don't take themselves serious and this isn't a place where you come with a suit and too-tight tie.
On a Weds night, there was no wait, and there was absolutely no one at the bar except for my friend. Â We were seated immediately and provided with still or sparkling water. Â After a few minutes, we were handed menus and they were explained. Â We were told that both diners at the table were to order in lockstep i.e. both a-la carte, both 9 course, or both 14 course. Â This makes total sense and is much appreciated.
We both ordered the repertoire menu. Â I had no changes/dietary restrictions, but my friend did, so he provided that information to the waiter and they took our menus and walked away. Â We both ordered drinks as well. Â There seemed to be a bit of confusion, because they checked back again to see what we wanted. Â No big deal. Â Soft drinks took a bit of time though.
On to the food...
The diversity of the courses was extensive. Â I would say this is contemporary American cuisine for sure, with some subtle French influences. Â I am disappointed to say, however, that out of fourteen courses, I only really remember 3, and of those three, two I would say were outstanding. Â The sous vide egg was absolutely perfect. Â I'd never eaten an egg cooked like that before, only meats, and you can rest assured I'll be seeking out more places that prepare eggs that way. Â The kobe beef was savory, the sauce was creamy and not too gluttonous, and absolutely tasty. Â The last dish I remembered was the first one served---the foie gras. Â It was of an odd consistency, softer than most foie I've eaten. Â It also did not distinctly taste like foie. Â I am not sure I would have known it was foie if they wouldn't have told me. Â There were some bacon crumbles on top that were excellent, however.
The explanations of the courses were informative but succinct and the plating was artistic but not over the top. Â Do not expect surprise plating or anything too crazy here. Â There is almost no influence of molecular gastronomy here, which works well with the bistronomic theme.
I did like that they notified us when we were halfway through our meal, sort of letting us "take a break" with an intermezzo of a light citrusy foam dish, to cleanse the palate. Â I'm not sure I've ever had that before.
Chef Elliot himself was in the house that night, but not cooking/running dishes out. Â He was strictly greeting and saying hi to folks, us included. Â He was a super nice guy and willing to chat for a second and he did take pictures with many people in the restaurant.
Overall a good experience. Â I suspect the menu to change and hopefully improve a bit, as the restaurant is in a state of flux and in between chefs. Â I would have judged this a bit differently if I would have spent a little less money, but at the price point they're getting, the stakes are high and they could up their game just a bit on the food end. Â The service was great and the atmosphere is cozy but unpretentious, rustic, urban, and enjoyable.
I left willing to go back, however only with some changes in the menu. Â I feel like out of a 14 course tasting menu that I should have been wowed at least half a dozen times with individual dishes, not two. Â I am a firm believer in the philosophy that anyone can be wowed with essentially any dish so long as it's prepared properly. Â I suspect the new chef of Graham Elliot will give some of his own influence and the restaurant will be on a new course, no pun intended. Â I look forward to hopefully returning sometime in the future!!
Graham Elliot was the classic example of a celebrity chef whose food is more interesting than good. Two days after our meal - two ten-course tasting menus - the restaurant announced that its Executive Chef and Graham Elliot were parting ways. The following summarizes our experience:
-The number one drawback is that the portions are super small. I am over six feet tall, and weigh less than 175 lbs. Yet, I left this meal wildly hungry. The portions are truly a huge issue.
-The number two drawback is that there are various people buzzing around who are tasked with explaining each course to you. Unfortunately, none of these people spoke English fluently except our server. Bottom line, we were served complicated dishes and yet we were left wondering what we were eating.
-Under no circumstances would I recommend eating here a la carte. This is a "go big or go home" format.
-Presentation was fantastic.
-The menu at the restaurant varied from the menu online. It was like 75% the same.
-We received zero pressure to do the wine pairings. I have found that's not always the case in Chicago.
-I recommend declining the wine pairings because Graham Elliot will not serve you enough food to balance all the alcohol. People at neighboring tables who ordered the pairings were getting bombed. From our window seats, we witnessed other people stumbling outside as they left.
-The highlights of the meal were the goat cheese and the halibut. The goat cheese course was not even on the menu and tasted nothing like goat cheese in its traditional form. Whatever was done to it, it was awesome.
-Graham Elliot parked his Prius illegally in front of his restaurant and spent a tremendous amount of time standing by the bar. He did not do the rounds as I have seen other celebrity chefs do. But I don't blame him. I wouldn't do the rounds, either.
Throughout the meal (experience?), we were served a crazy mixture of textures and flavors. Probably the best way to sum up this place would be to quote the great Ken Griffey Jr. during his appearance on The Simpsons: "Wow, it's like there's a party in my mouth, and everyone's invited!"
Unfortunately, I was expecting a superb birthday dinner. First, the bartender overpoured my husband's beer - okay, we're all human.  Second, when the host carried our drinks from the bar to our table....some of the same overpoured beer was  spilled on my lap. This was two strikes within the first 15minutes. We got the tasting menu and we looked past the beer issues to hopefully enjoy dinner - our first course was described at our table......"enjoy".....well, we have no utensils!
After dining at a top restaurant in the City, I expect the staff and service to uphold to the price and atmosphere. I felt as though we received "D" list staff on our Wednesday night. Not to mention, we had close to no clue as to what we were eating since the servers had VERY heavy hispanic accents (we were tired of asking them to repeat it).
Upon receiving our check, we were asked if we needed a cab called.......we responded yes, yet still had to walk 4 blocks to retrieve our own.
Sadly, overall I wouldn't recommend.
My wife and I were joined by another couple tonight at Graham Elliot and indulged in the 14 course repertoire menu. We arrived a bit early and took a seat at the bar while waiting for our friends. Walking in I noticed that Graham Elliot is considerably larger than most of the fine dining venues I have frequented in Chicago (referencing the restaurant, not the owner). The tables fortunately are spread out a bit, but the restaurant and bar area were a bit on the noisy side. There is a modern, funky vibe. I perused the cocktail list (which had some interesting combinations) and ordered a Port Royal consisting of whiskey, rum, allspice, and some citrus which was very pleasant. In addition to cocktails there are several craft beers and a nice wine list (cocktails run $13 and wines by the glass average $16).
We were seated on time and handed menus; there is an a la carte option, a nine course tasting menu and the fourteen course repertoire; I strongly would discourage anyone from ordering a la carte as you would have to spend far more than the cost of the tasting menu in order to have enough food to suffice as a meal. The entire table must opt for the same menu; the tasting menu is the size of a small to moderate meal in a more traditional restaurant and the repertoire adds up to the size of a moderate to large meal - make sure you are in for the long haul though as you should expect at least a three hour culinary journey with the repertoire. Dinner includes complimentary still or sparkling water and at the end of the meal French Press coffee is available for $6.
Our server got off to a bad start in that three in our party do not eat foie gras and this was one the only course on the repertoire we wanted substituted. Our waiter informed us that no substitutions were possible for this course. We were rather taken a back as most restaurants are more accommodating of what seemed such a reasonable request and the server came across as rather smug to not at least check with the chef. We informed him that we would opt for the tasting menu instead (as no foie was on the shorter tasting menu). He departed and the mood at the table was dampened. A few minutes later he came back and announced that the Chef had informed him that he would be willing to make a substitution for the foie. Fortunately for the rest of the evening service improved aside from a couple of minor gaffes (i.e. one course was delivered and explained while one member of our party was in the bathroom). On a positive note the service was very attentive and on one occasion when my wife accidentally spilled her nearly empty glass of sparkly our server replaced it with a full glass without charge (I was tempted to spill my glass of wine as I was down to the last couple of sips, but opted to not push my luck).
In general the food was quite interesting and had beautiful plating and some exotic flavor combinations. We learned that they had just rolled out several new courses tonight as part of their Fall menu. Chef Brochu took over the kitchen a few months back and his influence was pronounced; this was definitely a high caliber meal. At this price point ($145 for the repertoire) I had lofty expectations and while this was overall an excellent meal, I have had slightly better tasting menus in recent months at lower price points such as at Goosefoot, Boka and Next. For me there was definitely some courses I loved, some that were decent and a couple that were just OK. My favorites on the night were the broccoli course that had the most delicious cheddar cheese powder, the cheese course coated with ash and the dessert course with sassafras, root beer powder, almond cake and plum sorbet. The egg course with truffle and Parmesan and the pork belly course with chicory and huckleberry were quite good as well. The food (but not the experience) reminded me of Sprout and of El Ideas (which happens to be the venue Chef Brochu worked at just prior to transitioning to Graham).
Graham Elliot was nearly at capacity tonight and Chef Graham himself was in house. He is a larger than life figure and made rounds mingling with lots of the patrons. I was able to spend a few moments with him on the way out. I am glad to have finally experienced this venue and in most cities this would be among the very best, but Chicago has so many awesome restaurants that at this price point, as much I as enjoyed myself,  I just  do not see myself becoming a regular.
Ok, I get it...fine dining = small portions because every fricken' ingredient is so fricken' special. Ladi fricken dah!
We ordered from a la carte menu. Everything tasted really good. Unfortunately, that taste did not last long in my mouth because we went to dinner after our dinner at Graham Elliot. My beef entree was about 4 bites. I would have liked it soooo much better if it had same flavor + 6 more bites.
I don't give a crap how good things taste. If I have to go into a restaurant full or I have to go to a dinner after I had dinner, you get 2 stars in my book.
I can't stop raving about our diner at Graham Elliot. Â We have dined at many of the higher end restaurants in Chicago and can say that this is in the top four in terms of not only food, but service that makes you feel comfortable, if not at the top. Â We did find it odd at first that we were told that we wouldn't be seated until the actual reservation time (we got there about 20 min early) despite there being many open tables. Â We later discovered that it wasn't due to open tables, rather that there was a private dining event in a back room and they needed to make sure to stagger the tables so that the kitchen and wait staff would be able to attend to all tables with the same attention. Â Waiting until the reservation time so that we have attentive service is not a problem in my book.
The food is incredible. Â The menu is set up to do the tasting menus. Â If you go and order a la carte, know that you will leave hungry. Â However, we did the 8 course tasting with the wine pairings and left feeling pleasantly full. Â The flavors in the dishes are incredible, and the portions are perfectly thought out to not over-power with the strong flavors. Â While the food was awesome, I think that the flavors are too strong to have larger portions.
Service is something that I have not experienced in any other restaurant in Chicago. Â From the call to confirm the reservations when they asked for dietary restrictions, allergies or preferences, to being asked if we were on a time table or could enjoy a more leisurely meal, to the detailed descriptions of the food and drinks, the entire staff at Graham Elliott showed their pride in the restaurant. Â Can't wait to come back!
This experience was less than we had hoped for. To be fair, we walked in without a reservation on a Friday at 7:30pm after attending an art show at a gallery in the lower level of this building. Â We knew it might be hard to get in but figured we'd chance it. The hostess was very polite when she explained that we could not be seated at a table but did explain that we could be seated at the bar or the large communal table in the bar area. We were pointed in the direction of the bar and left to fend for ourselves. This was actually better than I expected, I hadn't thought we could get in at all. Â I am nerdy about food and was so excited to eat here!
Since the communal table was occupied at first, we sat at the bar. Â The bartender was engaged in a conversation with another member of the service staff at the time and then moved on to other customers (with drinks) at the bar. The bartender finally took our drink orders but didn't greet us or welcome us in any way. Â Not exactly the service you'd expect at this price point. Â We were running a 15K the next day and didn't want to drink alcohol so we ordered diet cokes, which seemed to piss off the bartender. Â After we got menus the bartender disappeared for about half an hour and we still didn't have our diet cokes (???). Â We had decided to scrap it when the party at the communal table left and we moved over there.
Luckily our waitress was great and she was very helpful. Â The bartender finally brought us our diet cokes. Â We ordered our food and were pretty happy to be sitting at a table at Graham Elliot at 8pm sans reservation. Â My husband found it to be too loud but I thought it was a fun environment and would be a great place to go with a group of friends before a night out. Â The restaurant has a very cool, hip vibe and is definitely not pretentious
The food was wonderful. Â I had a "deconstructed" caesar salad which was a fun to eat as it was delicious. Â I am pretty sure I had scallops as an entree, but whatever it was I enjoyed it.
The food here was amazing, and it is worth eating here once even though the price tag is ridiculous. Â However, I can't give more stars due to the incredibly rude service we received at the bar. Â A little hospitality goes a long way.
We were in Chicago for the weekend and very much wanted to try a Graham Elliot restaurant. Â I can say that this restaurant did not disappoint, but a couple negatives keep me from giving the highest marks, particularly compared to other high-end establishments.
We decided for once not to give into complete decadence and each went with the 5 course tasting menu instead of the 13-course chef's menu. Â My wife and I also upgraded one aspect of our respective meals; she requested the winter truffles on her risotto and I asked for the Wagyu beef. Â Oddly enough, we each thought little of our own "upgrades" but appreciated the other's. Â Unlike her, I found the winter truffles wonderfully pungent and well worth the cost. Â As for the Wagyu beef, I've sampled it numerous times at different establishments and think I really just don't have an appreciation for it. Â Since I normally prefer to tear into a leaner New York Strip Steak as opposed to a Ribeye, maybe this is just a matter of taste, but regardless, I thought that was money not well spent.
Now, I'm normally a big eater and have come away hungry from some high end establishments, but I can honestly say that we were well-fed here. Â However, I did find it odd that they offered no bread or amuse bouche, and I'm disappointed they apparently stopped serving the truffle popcorn.
As a final positive note, I did also want to give my compliments to the bartender. Â The Old-Fashioned cocktail I had at the beginning of the night.was seriously one of the best I've ever tasted.
A couple of issues stop me a little short of giving the full five stars.
First, when we arrived, the restaurant was only about 50% full. Â And yet, we were shown to a small table when I saw other couples at larger tables. Â Later, I saw other couples being led to larger tables as well. Â As I've said in past reviews, I seriously wonder if my reservation through Open Table somehow keeps dooming us to worse seats than if we just called ourselves. Â Next time, I plan to do that instead of using Open Table, as I'm getting pretty sick of the second class citizen treatment that seems to follow from using their service.
Second, the plating of the food, while initially beautiful and artistic, eventually conveys a vague sense of dissatisfaction. Â The general idea is to load it all on a side, or corner, and leave as much open plate space as possible. Â Gorgeous at first, like viewing modern art on a canvas, but eventually makes you start feeling like you're getting very little food. Â Again, with no bread, amuse bouche, or popcorn, a sense of scarcity is created, which probably influenced the criticisms along these lines by other reviewers.
Third and finally, I had the hardest time understanding our servers. Â I'm from the Bay Area, California, land of many, many accents, and I'm generally pretty good at deciphering all of them, but for some reason I just could not understand some of the things our servers said. Â Might not be their fault, as I did go swimming earlier that day and maybe had water in my ear. Â On a related note, while service from our waiter was fine and he was friendly enough, isn't it normally the waiter's job to explain the dishes? Â At least that's been my experience at other places.
So overall, a very good place with some nitpicky issues. Â Definitely a Chicago gem worth visiting.
It's hard to know where to begin with this review. First, I am perplexed at the negative experiences described by some of the reviewers. I don't know where you ate, but you must be getting GE mixed up with someplace else.
I took my wife here to celebrate our 5th anniversary, and we're still talking about it days later. It was great in every aspect. The service here is like a well oiled machine. The wait staff is extremely attentive and on top of your every need, but manage to do so without hovering at all. They were all friendly, and knowledgeable.
As for the food, it's really an experience more than a meal. For those who "left hungry," you must be morbidly obese. We were both prepared to need to get more food after leaving here when we read the reviews, but neither of us were hungry at all.
We did the tasting menu, and had a hard time picking a favorite. The presentation is immaculate, and the flavors are hard to express in words. I've never before wanted to savor every bite as much as I did at GE.
The tasting menu is on the high end price-wise, but very, very worth it.
I wasn't expecting too much in terms of service after reading some of the bad reviews here, but we had a great experience. Â It was our 5 year anniversary and when I made reservations, I made a note of that and requested a nice seat in the house. Â Upon arrival, we were promptly and warmly greeted by the hostess. Â She took us to a nice window side table and even pulled out the seat for my wife. Â So far so good. Â Then the server came by to greet us and followed up by a nice surprise, two glasses of champagne. Â As he poured he said, "Happy Anniversary on behalf of all of us here at Graham Elliot." Â Throughout the night the service was top notch, from their explanation of the menu and dishes to the way the night ended by the serving staff all greeting us good night and even opening the door for us as we left.
In terms of food...Heavenly! Â The food was excellent. Â We did the food tasting, which was a 7-8 course meal if you include the interim chocolate foam dish which is supposed to cleanse the palate. Â Yes, the food portions are small but that is what is expected from a multi-course fine dining restaurant. Â Surprisingly at then end of the meal I didn't feel hungry, but I wasn't stuffed either. Â But the quality and detail to the food was top notch. Â Every bite was full of flavor. Â Every taste sense was going crazy, from salty to sweet, bitter to sour and of course the new sense umami...and boy was some of the dishes savory and delectable. Â The truffle mushroom risotto was to die for. Â My wife loved the pork belly and the wagyu ribeye was AMAZING!!! Â
Because we had such a wonderful experience I had to post something here because I didn't want anybody to miss out on this wonderful gem of a restaurant. Â It's definitely Michelin star-rated for a reason. Â We definitely will be coming back. Â
Thanks to the wonderful staff at Graham Elliot for a wonderful and memorable 5 year anniversary.
One word......Amazing! I could not  give this visit any less than 5 stars and quite frankly I'd like to give 6. The highlights for our table was the lobster risotto and the crouton filled with mascarpone that was the centerpiece of out Caesar Salads. We could have eaten an entire plate of those over sized croutons.
Excellent service, nice wine list and sublime favors. A pricey meal for sure but definitely a must try for respectable foodies.
Enjoy!
Perhaps I expected too much. When it comes to fine dining, I have been lucky to have tried a lot of amazing places (Per Se, French Laundry, Eleven Madison, Gary Danko and the list goes on) so forgive me if this is me being a little picky.
Had a 9pm reservation. They were not ready for us. The guy at the host stand was wrestling with the curtain in front of the coat check trying to find someones coat. He sent us to the bar while he wrestled some more and eventually found that coat. Good for him. Why was I still standing? By 9:20pm we finally sat. Things  must have changed. The music was not ridiculously loud as reported here on Yelp. It was absolutely perfect. We did not order until 9:45pm.
The menu was set and as such our waiter balked at my request to add some of the famous popcorn to our tasting menu(which we offered to pay for of course). He went back and forth, getting it "approved" and such to finally come back and say they would do it. Phew. Did not realize it was such a hard request. Â For the record, that was one of the meal highlights! Incredible.
We brought our wine and the corkage fee was a good rate of $ 25.00
The tasting consisted of the following:
oyster- great
pea- went perfectly with the Iberica ham
lobster- my absolute favorite. It was awesome
carbonara- was amazing but would have liked it hotter. It was barely warm.
The rest: redfish, jidori, cheese and milk was just OK.
Now I know these places have small portions. Been there done that. I usually get upset when people complain at leaving hungry. I always tell them they are not grasping the concept and that this is not meant to be an all you can eat buffet. Thing is that this time around, I DID leave hungry. Most fine dining places bring out some intermezzo items which when combined with your amuse bouche and maybe bread, round out a meal. This time around, not so much. As much as I was able to enjoy the courses I favored, I was left wondering " what if this is as good as it gets". It finally came a point where I said " yup, that was as good as it got".
It started lukewarm, became sizzling hot and died out only a lonely cold memory.
Therefore, Â 3 1/2 stars to the good courses, the service and ambiance.
Next time, will spend my time and money elsewhere.
Disappointed.
This is the first time I've eaten here SINCE Jamie Kluz took over as General Manager. Â What an incredible transformation in such a short period of time. Â I don't consider myself a Yelpper, however when remarkable or unremarkable evenings are experienced I feel compelled to honor the evening. Â This was a remarkable experience.
Service at GE is a symphony of precision without pretense. Â The jeans attire on all staff is a terrific way to respect a serious endeavor, fine dining, without the nose-in-the-air demeanor of too many Chicago establishments. Â There were 12 courses in the Repertoire menu (who's counting) and yes I understand these are not large servings (please see any Bucca di Beppo for the gluttony size portions) however they were perfectly sized and well timed. Â Do give yourself ample time on this menu and I suggest the wine pairings to accompany. Â Learning about each dish and why this or that particular wine was chosen, always adds to the pleasure of the dish and meal. Â This evening was no exception--we traveled the globe and the pairings were spot on, every time. Â Obviously influenced by Jamie and perhaps her work at Avenues in The Peninsula or just years of wine study.
Decor is warm, not euro-neuvo-cold; plenty of wood, good sound, great windows with plenty of natural light. Â I don't particularly mind the menu changes as I think it keeps the offering fresh and of course seasonal. Â The amount of edible flowers was impressive, as was the truffle course, foie, crab and beef. Â I enjoyed the "sparklers" to start and loved the "doughnut" to finish.
A terrific evening for sure and definitely within my top ten dining experiences ever. Â Thanks GE!
Cheers,
Martin
It is often said that change is good, however unfortunately when it comes to the new chef at Graham Elliot that is not the case. What was once one of my favorite restaurants in the city has now been marked off my list.
My husband and I dined at GE six months ago and had an amazing experience. Endless amounts of truffle popcorn was complimentary, there were plenty of a la carte options to choose from, the service was warm and friendly, and we walked out not wanting to eat for the next week. We couldn't wait to go back for more!
Last night we took a group of friends to dine at Graham Elliot and were underwhelmed to say the least. Apparently a new chef was brought in a numerous changes have been made. They now only offer four appetizers and four entrees a la carte, and are really pushing the tasting menus. The appetizer and entree portions were smaller and more pricey from what we remembered. And, the biggest bummer is there is no longer complimentary yummy popcorn brought to the table. Our service was just average.
In my opinion, for these prices one should have more food options available, excellent service, and not leave hungry. There are many other places in this city you can go to where you can get immaculate food for these prices and have a more elaborate experience.
Sorry Graham Elliot, but I am no longer a fan.
We went here this past week not really doing much research; sometimes I prefer to not research on Yelp beforehand so I don't sit and agree with problems people point out. The problem is, it seems this restaurant has experienced a drastic change in what it was and what it is now.
From reading the reviews, it seems like there used to be a regular a la carte menu, where you'd order your $20 appetizer and $35 entree and call it a day. Â Now you have a choice between three tasting menus, conveniently the prices left off of their web site but were for the 5 course $75, for the 10 course $125, and for 12-15 course the $150. Â Wine pairings were tiered accordingly, $100, $75 to match the 10 course, and $50 for the 5 course. We were told most people do the middle option, which leaves you at $200 a person, plus the initial drink they hit you up for ($15-20--more on that later) plus tax/tip. So all in all, you're looking at most people on average are spending $290/person with wine pairings.
The service really, really rubbed me the wrong way. I'd say it was downright sleazy even.
Upon seating, before we were given a drink or food menu, we were asked what we'd like to start off drinking. We asked and were given the wine menu but still not told anything about the food, nowhere did a food menu come along. We're dropping $1200 for 4 people and you don't have the decency to bring us a food menu along side the wine menu so we can appropriately pair a $150 bottle of wine with our meal? Â In $$$$ restaurants I would expect an offering of the sommelier even. Â Strike.
A normal server at this point would've said "have you been here before?" "no, well, what we do typically is a tasting menu with wine pairings" ... Instead, our hipster server got us to take down our drink order as fast as possible, knowing that was adding another $100 to our check, even though the meal was set up to include an abundant amount of wine pairings. A few of us wanted Champagne, so we debated on a $200 bottle of Champagne but ultimately one of us got their only Champagne by the glass ($24), another a $15 cocktail, and two of us a nice rose sparkling ($20). Â
Only at that point did they bring us the food menu, after we had ordered the first round of drinks. 'Oh look, hey it's not only not a la carte and is a tasting menu, there's a wine pairing menu.' SLEAZY. There's no other way to say it, this was sleazy service. And if I had to guess, very deliberate.
Upon getting the tasting menu options laid out before us, we were told most people do the wine pairings. We were told they also may do other creative cocktails other than wine, or beer even, though(none of that was actually true, it was straight up wine, which was fine). One thing that stood out about the menu was there wasn't a single red meat item on it. Â So we could've easily ordered 3 really nice bottles of white wine, maybe one red, and called it a day, and still been out even or ahead of where we were. Â
Insult to injury? The first wine that came out in our wine pairings was a glass of Champagne for everyone, after we had just "done" that round essentially.
Also, to clear the air, I've had a lot of haute cuisine meals in my life, and even more than my share of tasting menus in this style. Â I'm comfortable spending $300/person on a nice meal, a unique experience, and I understand portion size in tasting menus. I'm not one of "those" people whining because of those issues. Â I get it.
Out came the food course by course. Â Pretty much every course was two 15 gram portions of some protein with some highly concentrated flavored gel. Â It is what it is. I can't even remember much of the specifics, there was a lobster nibble early on, and even though we didn't order the full menu they gave us foie lollypops. Â They were probably the only thing I'd really remember in a few months, the foie a very "user friendly" mousse style that could've been any other mousse, coated in pop-rocks. Typically I giggle at people who say "we went out and had a real meal after" because this type of menu didn't fill them up, but GE's didn't have a single red meat item or a single protein course that was more than one bite, so in this case I actually get their sentiment. Â
The music was off-putting, for my 30 year-old-ears I could stay home and listen to Sleigh Bells too without having to yell over it to converse with our friends from out of town.
There were 2 times during our meal where someone made a quick break to the bathroom after finishing our course, but the servers still brought our next course out and explained it while that person was missing. Considering they had taken away the menu when we ordered, I find this to be of bad service. Even if there were menus for that person to come back and "catch up" on what we were looking at, a place of this caliber would typically hold back on delivering the food to the table until everyone is seated back again.
2* = "Meh. I've experienced better" = Dead on, Yelp.
Enjoyable and recommended.
As far as the newly designed menu, go all out and get the Repertoire (we had the spring 2012) -- two dishes that were only offered in this option were two of my favorites -- the popcorn course (perhaps to make up for taking away the free popcorn -- boo! hiss!) and the foie course (ah, foie and cherry. you are my peanut butter and jelly). Â
I was pleased that foie-llipops were still offered (a nice surprise since it wasn't listed in the menu). Â They offer it as a "course within a course" before the foie course. Â But my question is since the foie isn't offered in all the menus, do you not get the foiellipops otherwise? A shame, because they are so awesome. Â Also I think they rotate the flavor of pop rocks coating, but word to the wise, watermelon is the best!
P.S. My other favorite course was the lobster. Â Oh lobster sausage, let's rendevous again.
Well, my boyfriend and I decided up Graham Elliot as our monthy pick of places to try and were we definitely surprised by our experience.
Lets be honest I'm a sorta foodie. Â I like to eat things and talk about it on yelp or tell my friends whats good in different hoods. Â But this place is very well for lack of a better word odd. Â
There is definitely a level of upscale hipster pretense happening here. Â The space it self is very open, clean and sleek. Â I honestly felt like it could have been a bit more mod or atmospheric for the type of menu and experience you are supposed to have.
Getting to the menu... ummmm at first my boyfriend and I looked at eachother like maybe we were slightly retarded. Â However, when we were finally attended to it was explained to us how to read it. Â It seemed odd that our waitress assumed we would just know but basically you're doing courses or tasting. Â A lot of things are not very well descripted so its like putting your hand in a hat and going something kind of like this sounds ok-ish?
At the end of the day we left and were not starving but definitely not full for the amount of money we spent. Â
The very best thing we had was our drinks. Â The bartender is an award winning mixologist type dealio and let me tell you it was amazing. Â
Maybe going into it a second time we will have a better idea on how to prepare ourselves for the meal, but sometimes you just want to dealve in to something and not just take two bits and have it be over. Â
Also I know most people are reading this thinking well maybe you aren't foody enough to handle this place.... and it would have been fine to have mini mini portions if I felt like what I had bit into was something like I had never had before. Â It was all artfully presented, but nothing to write home about. Â It was good but not great flavors. Â Nothing bold enough to stand out and make you want 5 more platefuls.
Give it a whirl if you like different... but only if you have the funds. Â If you want to spend a lot of money just go for gold and go to a steak house or something.
I am going to be blunt: this is one of the best meals that I have ever had.
In May, I was leaving to spend the rest of the year in China on a work assignment and this was my last major meal in the US before I left. Â No part of it disappointed and, honestly, I cannot stop thinking of going back.
We went very late, but the host and server were both still attentive without showing signs of wear. Â We ordered the largest tasting menu, the courses were as follows: popcorn (with truffle oil, amazing), caviar, octopus, caesar (deconstructed and genius), onion, foie (with rhubarb and strawberry that somehow worked), salad (with red spinach), swordfish, skate, chicken, lamb, dreamsicle, lemon and chocolate. Â
The server suggested excellent wine/cocktail pairings and it was a wonderful night. Â That is what a dining experience should be like. Â Worthy of 6 stars.
I'm catching up on reviews - meal was last March, but the disappoint has stuck with me.
This was our third time dining at Graham Elliot. Unfortunately, I think the restaurant is going downhill as quickly as Elliot's ego is inflating. The food was good, but nothing earth-shattering. The waiter was fine, but hardly on par (i.e. nowhere near) with the cost of the meal. Sprout, where we dined shortly before, was considerably better.
Maybe this captures it: GE is the lollapalooza of fine dining. Great for out of towners and people who rarely go out and want to feel "hip". But if you saw the Pixies in the 90s, they're just old and fat now.
