Fronterra Grill was the first place I went to eat at
Ceviche: good and I like what they did with the tostadas but not the best ceviche I've ever had
Duck: Excellent, served with a beautiful rich sauce sweet and strong at the same time, the duck was incredibly tender and well cooked, the rice was incredible creamy almost risotto that paired excellently, made little tacos of all who a dash of table House chili sauce
Price 75

Later that night I went to Berghoff for a beer and a snack.
Heffeweizen: good cold and cheap
Calves liver: good value with the meal and the beer for downtown Chicago, the liver was good but maybe could have been seasoned some more, portions huge and everything was moderately priced for the area, and was in a super neat old German esque building so thumbs up price 30

Cochan Volant
Rose wine was good but overpriced, Belgium wheat beer good and good prices
The bread and whipped butter delicious course, the mussels and the sauce was so good it was a hearty tomatoe flavored yet light sauce that went well with the mussels only complaint is some of the shells didn't have meat in them but still good
Steak delicious but just a tad over cooked I'm not complaining tho, the bone morrow was not a good buy and while scrumptious it was roasted with cheese and garlic which over powered the natural taste in my opinion, the foie gras was excellent and for the price a good value it was crispy on the outside with and almost melty middle and was seasoned expertly with butter and rosemary 125

Besides, we're a transport hub, fresh fish is generally fresh here.
