Sepia Chicago Reviews
Phenomenal.
The meal at Sepia was beyond words. Evening about the evening was more than expected. The vibe was classical upscale but also chill. Every server was attentive, filling water cups, delivering the tasting menu and explaining the food and how to eat i
When I say best meal of my life, I do not take this lightly.
The plating was whimsical but high class. We had best friends in town and had never had a Michelin star experience before. We opted for the four course tasting menu with the wine paring and one was a mocktail pairing! Honestly would've preferred

Consistency of execution, service and vibe all felt like a typical dining experience. While there were some nice bites and cocktails, I'm surprised they have a star. There was a lot of corn on the menu but the corn didn't taste in season,
Had a wonderful experience at Sepia for our anniversary.
We tried the 4 course tasting menu. We also ordered their golden kaluga caviar and it was the best caviar I've ever tasted. For our first course we got the smoked tomato gazpacho and the scallop & sea urchin. The gazpacho was delicious and I

The industrial feel and muted colors of the restaurant
The industrial feel and muted colors of the restaurant served as a backdrop for the vibrant flavors coming out of the kitchen and the quiet chatter of guests at neighboring tables. I quickly decided what I wanted from the 4-course tasting menu, where

The Chef tasting menu was fantastic, and the service was really good as well. Good ambiance. I definitely recommend.

Our dinner was fantastic at Sepia. The food was delicious, the presentation was impeccable and the servers went above and beyond. I would highly recommend the optional cheese plate, it complemented the dinner well. I was very hungry and was concerned

We ate tonight in one of the very best Michelin Star restaurants we have ever experienced. Having had deep dish pizza for dinner last night which was delicious, we were ready for something a bit more refined- and we were not disappointed. First, the

Wow. Everything was incredible! $95 for a 4 course meal at a Michelin Star restaurant truly isn't that bad. We did add on each of the add-ons and the wine pairing so it got a bit pricy, but totally worth it. It seems like their whole menu changes pre

From beginning to end, everything was delicious! Timely service, friendly staff, great wine selection/pairing and beautiful restaurant. I recommend 100% and I would come back. The food was filling despite the smaller portions, worth it!
Sepia is truly a gem
An amazing restaurant, with well deserved recognition by Michelin. Since there were three of us, we tried everything we could. Each of us picked the four-course menu with the choice of one dish per course and we added the wine pairings also availabl
Excellent service, food, wine and atmosphere.
The experience was wonderful, highly recommend!!
Food has its own style I think that's why it got 1 star.
However the flavor is not quite surprising. Have to say that wine paring is kinda niceee! The best part is the service by miss Kim the other night! Love her! The proper distance and the perfect smile, showing her absolute profession! It was kinda ful

So first thing, someone at our table had a live worm in their serving of fish. As in, it was still moving. She pointed it out to the server who later came back saying "it happens sometimes" and someone who I'm guessing was the head of front

Excellent restaurant! Great food, ambiance, and service.
For our four-course menu, we got the steak tartare, venison shabu-shabu, rohan duck breast, and the coconut key lime custard. The only dish I didn't care for was the venison. I've never had venison before. It was prepared well. However, it had this g

Special mother daughter dinner
Girls trip with my daughter. We wanted a special night out and sepia delivered. We did the 4 course tasting menu with wine pairings. We added the optional cheese course before dessert. Each bite was amazing! Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable.
Good, not special enough for its reputation
We had booked for an anniversary, mostly from the online review. However after arriving, realized that we had been there before, just could not recall the food last time :-) The experience this time unfortunately was similar. The food was good, but n
Good food, still hungry
The food was mostly good, though it seemed as if every dish was heavy on salt. Furthermore after spending over 200 on a single meal for myself, I left hungry. I enjoyed the restaurant but I do not see any reason to return and I would advise dining el
Food was magical, wait staff was delightful.
The wine pairing was great and our server knew quite a bit about all the wines. Absolutely going back.
Connect with users posting reservations for Sepia Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Sepia Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sepia Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sepia Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Sepia Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sepia Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
