On Sunday we went over to a lovely new restaurant in Bucktown called Antico,to celebrate Pete's 50th birthday.
As Pete is in the restaurant business,he knew the owners,and they had kindly closed the restaurant,so we could use it.
The food was cooked by Jonathan and Mark,two amazing men,with nothing but love and passion for good food and amazing wine.
I have never tasted simple food cooked so well,and it was paired with wonderful wines.
In my humble opinion,if all restaurants could just operate the way we were treated on Sunday night,a night out dining would be so much more enjoyable.
We were a small group of people (about 10 of us) all in the 40-55 year age,we lingered over every course (we started at 3pm,and were finishing off the cheese course at 9pm....) there was no loud obnoxious huppelkutjes and annoying people around,no screaming kids,except for Jonathan and Sandra's 9 months old tike called Conrad,who was the most well behaved kid I have ever met (probably because his parents were so cool)
The conversation flowed,good food was consumed and amazing wines were drank...
What a perfect way to celebrate your 50th birthday.
Thank you Brad and Jonathan,for letting us enjoy Antico...
We will be back!
