TASTING MENU
Class Act's tasting menu is an nine-course dinner for sixteen guests at one communal table in Bucktown, Chicago, from James Beard semifinalist Chef Nicolai Mlodinow. Served Friday and Saturday at 5:30 and 8:30, it runs about two and a half hours and ends at Nightcap, our speakeasy lounge.
How The Evening Moves
1 / THE WELCOME FOYER
All the guests arrive at once. A first drink, a few surprises from the kitchen, and the chance to meet the people you'll be dining beside.
2 / THE DINING ROOM
One long table, the open kitchen in full view, and a progression of Chef Nicolai’s globally inspired cuisine.
3 / THE SPEAKEASY
The evening finishes at Nightcap, with cocktails as enthralling as the culinary program.

ACT V
"This is where we lean fully into what we love most: globally inspired cuisine that tells a story. One night will carry you from a morning in a Milanese café to the black-sand beaches of Greece to a late night in a Brazilian club. I won't spoil all the surprises — you'll have to come see for yourselves. I can't wait to take you along for the journey."
— CHEF NICOLAI MLODINOW
