Boutique - side

Surprisingly fresh and flavorful sushi in the Claridge Hotel lobby. We had the 5 course tasting menu. Inventive takes on traditional dishes with small touches that added character to each course. First course a salmon crudo that reminded as much of a crevice as Japanese. Second was sashimi but served in a container wisping of smoke that added savory tones to the dish. Third was Maki roll selection and fourth an uni hand roll scallop seemed the best. Mochi to finish it up. Beverage selection a bit odd as they didn’t have tea or sparkling water, but small detraction from a memorable meal.

This was the PERFECT spot for my birthday dinner with friends. The staff could not have been more pleasant, especially Kate. I will certainly be back.

Sushi Boutique is a must visit spot in the Gold Coast neighborhood. The atmosphere, cuisine, cocktails and service are spot on. Ask for Kate as your server when you dine. She’s a true professional!!

Very nice dinner, with great service and tasteful meals. The cocktail kisshoten was really good!

Definitely recommend this place for a date night! The ambiance and music is a vibe with the exception if the future Grammt award winning “We dont talk about Bruno” starting to play and suddenly was switched off. Kate is a gem hope she is your waitress! Ordered Loved: UZUME (drink) Kisshoten (drink) Farmer’s market tempura 1244 Boutique Chicago Spicy Scallop
