Sepia Chicago Reviews
Delicious food at Sepia
The food was incredible. Every plate was amazing. Our server was very kind and friendly as well, and the restaurant seemed clean. Overall, it was a great experience. I would recommend trying some of the vegetarian dishes, as these were the favorites
My party of 3 had a nice evening at Sepia.
We went with the 4 course option which was a sufficient amount of food. The amuse bouche was delicious! Most of the dishes were really good. My favorite was the Crispy Cream Cheese Gnudi. The Stuffed Chicken Wing was weird. It didn't taste like
Loved this place.
Very nice, elegant and good was amazing. The staff was great. My friend hosted his birthday here, and everything about it was exceptional. Truly recommend this place.

Delicious food and great experience! Ambiance was nice, not too stuffy, excellent service
Overpriced for what you got. Food mediocre just presented pretty.
First time at a restaurant like this. Everything was cooked in soy sauce. Soy and tangy. Not creamy and rich…so if that’s your thing…you maybe good to go. Nothing I ate there was I blow away by. Sea bass I barely choked down. Duck was sub

I like the ambiance and service here very much.
I've been twice now and wasn't impressed with the food though. I wanted to like it so much that I wound up coming back to give it a second chance. It's one of very few restaurants I've tried with a Michelin Star that didn't l

Whenever I see a two-star review on Yelp, I automatically default to narrative, as a one-star review seems to be blatantly bashing and non-constructive. The reason why I awarded this rating is that it's exactly what the star describes, "Cou

Great service and food--was little concerned by the yelp ratings but did the 4 course pre-fixe.. everything was great, only complaint was that the duck entree was much smaller than the others at the table
We were warmly greeted by the front desk and seated quickly.
The restaurant was nice but the tables have seen its better days. We had some cocktails and they were good. Foods came out too fast that we felt rushed. We asked to slow down so we can have time to talk then our third course came out lukewarm and co
Phenomenal.
The meal at Sepia was beyond words. Evening about the evening was more than expected. The vibe was classical upscale but also chill. Every server was attentive, filling water cups, delivering the tasting menu and explaining the food and how to eat i
When I say best meal of my life, I do not take this lightly.
The plating was whimsical but high class. We had best friends in town and had never had a Michelin star experience before. We opted for the four course tasting menu with the wine paring and one was a mocktail pairing! Honestly would've preferred

Consistency of execution, service and vibe all felt like a typical dining experience. While there were some nice bites and cocktails, I'm surprised they have a star. There was a lot of corn on the menu but the corn didn't taste in season,
Had a wonderful experience at Sepia for our anniversary.
We tried the 4 course tasting menu. We also ordered their golden kaluga caviar and it was the best caviar I've ever tasted. For our first course we got the smoked tomato gazpacho and the scallop & sea urchin. The gazpacho was delicious and I

The industrial feel and muted colors of the restaurant
The industrial feel and muted colors of the restaurant served as a backdrop for the vibrant flavors coming out of the kitchen and the quiet chatter of guests at neighboring tables. I quickly decided what I wanted from the 4-course tasting menu, where

The Chef tasting menu was fantastic, and the service was really good as well. Good ambiance. I definitely recommend.

Our dinner was fantastic at Sepia. The food was delicious, the presentation was impeccable and the servers went above and beyond. I would highly recommend the optional cheese plate, it complemented the dinner well. I was very hungry and was concerned

Sepia is truly a gem
An amazing restaurant, with well deserved recognition by Michelin. Since there were three of us, we tried everything we could. Each of us picked the four-course menu with the choice of one dish per course and we added the wine pairings also availabl
Excellent service, food, wine and atmosphere.
The experience was wonderful, highly recommend!!
Food has its own style I think that's why it got 1 star.
However the flavor is not quite surprising. Have to say that wine paring is kinda niceee! The best part is the service by miss Kim the other night! Love her! The proper distance and the perfect smile, showing her absolute profession! It was kinda ful

Connect with users posting reservations for Sepia Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Sepia Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sepia Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sepia Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DazzlingStretch76, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DazzlingStretch76 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DazzlingStretch76 for any questions Peter may have as DazzlingStretch76 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DazzlingStretch76 now uses their connections at Sepia Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DazzlingStretch76 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DazzlingStretch76 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DazzlingStretch76's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sepia Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
