€€€€ • Americana • Lincoln Park
John’s Food & Wine is a chef-owned restaurant in Chicago’s Lincoln Park from chef-owners Adam McFarland and Tom Rogers. The cooking is seasonal, modern American with a big focus on vegetables, pristine seafood, handmade pastas, and dry-aged meats. John’s is a MICHELIN-recognized restaurant with a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence and praise from local and national press. The wine list leans toward small producers, thoughtful grower Champagne, and bottles meant to be enjoyed, not just collected. Close to Lincoln Park Zoo, Oz Park, DePaul’s campus, and Steppenwolf Theatre, it’s an ideal stop before or after exploring the neighborhood. The room is bright and intimate with a long marble bar, open kitchen, and relaxed, genuinely engaged hospitality.
