Perched high atop the city on the 40th floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange building, Everest affords spectacular views and equally fabulous contemporary French cuisine. Chef and owner Jean Joho blends European influences with local, seasonal American ingredients. He’s not afraid to pair noble ingredient like caviar with humbler fruits of American soil such as potatoes and turnips. Everest’s dining room is luxuriously decorated with vaulted draped ceilings, mirrored walls, and reflective paintings by Adam Seigel and floor-to-ceiling windows.
