Located in River north a few blocks down from the magnificent mile, Hub 51 is the suit and tie version of your regular American bar types, but with the familiarities like sport on the flat screens, craft beer on tap and seats by the bar.
Dubbed the 'eclectic American restaurant', Hub 51 boasts a fine menu with well curated ingredients. From the appetizers and the entrees, all the way to the drinks menu which cleverly targets the majority of Hub 51's clientele which are mostly trendy young professionals and business people.
So, after thoroughly reading through the menu, we decided to order salad.
We realized that this could be frowned upon, ordering a salad, especially at a venue like this, but our waiter was extremely excited for us to try it - quite the opposite of what we were expecting his reaction would be.
We ordered the Sonoma salad and the Asian chicken salad.
The Sonoma salad included baby spinach, grapefruit, avocado, walnuts, sunflower sprouts and seeds, dried cranberries and mustard vinaigrette. We also added grilled salmon which made this salad extra spectacular.
The asian chicken salad included peanuts, lemongrass, kaffir lime and red onion. The chicken is prepared southeast asian style, which means that it's grounded then cooked so that it absorbs the scent of the herbs and juices in the salad to create an explosion of flavors once it hits your palette.
I was thoroughly impressed by these salads which is a great indicator of an outstanding chef, and I can't wait to see how the entrees are like upon my next visit.
The service was also top notch and the venue was trendy, relaxing and comfortable which suits everyone from singles, couples and groups.
I highly recommend Hub 51 if you're looking for a trendy bar with quality food and service.
