Restaurants Near Trump Hotel Chicago

I live 4 blocks from the Trump in Chicago. There are probably 100 restaurants within walking distance of the Trump, and many more a short cab ride west or south of the Loop. So much depends on what kind of food you like, how much you want to spend, whether surroundings or a view matter, whether you want to meet people or stay within your personal zone, etc. Personally, when I travel and eat solo, I eat at the bar, enjoy talking with other people, and don't mind what I spend, provided I'm not enabling extortion. On that basis, here are a few suggestions of good restaurants to give you a flavor of the Chicago restaurant scene that should be open late on a Sunday night: Gibsons for steak (or it's sister next door Hugos for fish) in the "Viagra Triangle" (yes, there are 10 other great steakhouses nearby, but this is a storied Chicago locals' classic), Quartinos (owned by the same peeps as Gibsons/Hugos) for Italian on a "tapas" basis (ever have Italian tapas before?) (also a locals' favorite), Cafe Spiaggia (though not sure this one is open on Sunday) (it's sister next door Spiaggia is considered by many to be the best gourmet Italian restaurant in the U.S.), Riva on Navy Pier (very competent seafood, but you can't top the view at "sea level"), the W Hotel on Lake Shore Drive (if you're looking for a guaranteed "scene in a box") ... and by the way, don't discount Rebar, which is on the 2nd floor of the Trump, has a great view, unexpectedly nice servers, and great sushi if that's you're thing. Just to mention a few. Enjoy.
