About Oriole
Oriole hides its ambition behind a warehouse entrance, then lets the meal unfold with almost Japanese calm. Noah Sandoval's tasting menu is luxurious but rarely loud: caviar, shellfish, consommés, wagyu, and pristine vegetables are handled with a softness that separates it from Chicago's more theatrical fine dining rooms. The service is unusually warm for this level, and the redesigned space gives the kitchen room to breathe. It is two-star dining for people who want control, not spectacle.
