SKY has been on my "Chicago bucket list" since it opened. During quarantine, Evan and I ordered it twice (takeout/delivery). We loved it but take out is never as good as in person. I finally went to SKY in spring 2021. The first impression, I thought the interiors were great. Very pleased with the décor. I ordered a cocktail while I waited on my clients to get there. I mis-ordered. I am such a novice when it comes to ordering cocktails. What I thought was going to be a mezcal margarita was instead a mezcal old-fashioned. Overall thoughts on the drink, good but woo powerful. Next food, in terms of the ordering on the "snack and shares" part of the menu, we tried the croquettes, shrimp, and hamachi sashimi. All three were fabulous. My vote went to the Hamachi Sashimi. For the appetizers, we went with the dumplings, and for the mains, we selected salmon, seabass, pork confit, and short rib. I thought my favorite part of the meal would have been the seabass or salmon. However, hands down the pork confit! My second vote goes to the salmon. The short rib was okay, but I am also not a short rib critic. Lastly, make sure to order the crispy potatoes! Because who does not love potatoes!
