Barton G. The Restaurant Chicago is about to take guests on a culinary and visual experience like no other. The third outpost of the cutting-edge eatery space situated on Hubbard Street in River North (415 N Dearborn St.) opens to the public tomorrow evening for dinner service.  The restaurant will open for dinner on February 15, lunch on February 18 and brunch on February 23.  Reservations can be made by visiting www.BartonG.com or OpenTable.

A visit to any Barton G. The Restaurant provides its guests all of the culinary adventure one can fathom, and then some. In one of Chicago’s hottest nightlife districts, Barton G. The Restaurant Chicago is among the most highly anticipated openings of 2019. It joins its sister locations in culinary hot spots Miami Beach and Los Angeles, where the restaurant was named one of “America’s Top 100 Tables” by OpenTable.

Created by renowned restaurateur and special event architect Barton G. Weiss, the venue will treat guests to a multisensory experience in which they will interact with fellow diners as collective gasps and Instagram moments are shared each time another over-the-top dish is paraded from the kitchen. As Barton G. The Restaurant is notorious for its food, over-the-top events and elaborate presentations, it is considered the most Instagrammed restaurant in the world.  Barton G. The Restaurant is redefining the art of being social in a digital world, by creating a platform for guests to socialize with one another in physical proximity to friends, while sharing their experience across the vastness of the Internet through the visually stunning and over-the-top presentations of the restaurant’s unique cocktails, appetizers, main courses and desserts.

Weiss lives to “create shockingly delicious and awe-inspiring dining and event experiences. Everything else, to me, is just boring.”

The Restaurant Chicago. Working closely with Weiss, Erwin is responsible for lighting the fire, managing the kitchen and conducting the Barton G. The Restaurant experience in Chicago, daily.  While the food leans toward art, the quality of the food is just as important as its visual aesthetics.  Weiss’ culinary team focuses on organic, sustainable and locally sourced whenever possible – providing guests not only with a show-stopping spectacle, but also a delectable meal they can feel good about eating.

Barton G. The Restaurant Chicago will be open daily for lunch and dinner and brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Advance reservations are required.
