West Loop's Dining Scene Keeps Raising the Bar: All Well and Trino Are the Neighborhood's Most Exciting New Tables
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Loop ·
West Loop neighbors, just when you thought Randolph Street couldn't get any hotter, two brand-new dining destinations are turning up the flame. First, the team behind Oriole — long celebrated as Chicago's highest-rated restaurant — has quietly debuted All Well right here in the West Loop. The new spot offers a refined five-course prix fixe with standout dishes like sunchoke beignets and truffle-stuffed quail, alongside a more relaxed bar area serving à la carte bites like chilled clams in ham broth and a short rib sandwich. It's the kind of neighborhood addition that puts West Loop firmly on the fine-dining map — again.
And if you're already eyeing your next reservation, mark your calendars for late July: Trino is set to open at 738 W. Randolph St., taking over the former Komo space. Chef and owner Stephen Sandoval — the celebrated mind behind Diego and 5 Suenos — is bringing a globe-trotting steakhouse experience rooted in Baja, Galician, Argentine, and Chicago flavors. Expect a showstopping seafood tower, inventive cocktails from beverage director Carolina Gonzalez, and the kind of bold, personal cooking that made Sandoval a neighborhood favorite.
From world-class tasting menus to boundary-pushing steakhouses, West Loop's culinary energy shows absolutely no signs of slowing down this summer. Which of these new tables will you be trying first? Share your picks and tag your neighbors right here on Socialhood!
