    Amazing drinks and being able to order food from the restaurant upstairs is a plus. The Japanese potato salad is amazing. Their shochu and Japanese whiskey selection is amazing, better than some bars I've been to in Japan, but it is expensive. The special plum flavored old fashioned was $37. Expect to pay similar prices for a dram of whiskey. Worth the price though to taste some whiskeys you probably wouldn't find anywhere else in the US.

    One of our favorite places in Chicago. We went to The Albert for our anniversary dinner and it was amazing from beginning to end. The food was amazing and the staff were so nice. They even signed a card with well wishes and congratulations on our 15 year anniversary. Elizabeth was a superb server and Maribel and company made our meals to perfection. If you haven’t already please be sure to check out the Albert you won’t be disappointed!
