Dinner in Chicago

Since moving to Chicago, I've reconnected with a few good friends from college - one of which shares an inner love of food and has now become my partner in crime for trying restaurants around town. We've made it a point to have dinner at least once a month when our schedules coordinate properly.

On our recent Monday night dinner catch up, we tried West Town Tavern on W. Chicago. This place is unassuming from the outside, but it definitely had a neighborhood restaurant feel on the inside. I had the special of the day which was Fried Chicken and V had the trout. The chicken was crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside. The garlic mash potatoes were to die for and the gravy and biscuit melt in your mouth. The trout had crispy skin on the outside but the fish was juicy and flavorful. I would definitely go back and try a few of the other dishes.
