Thursday night my perennial dining companion and I made a check mark on our Restaurant Bucket List - The Whitney. We had tickets to see the DSO at Orchestra Hall that night, so we made reservations ahead of the concert. The Whitney lived up to its hype. A gorgeous building - we were given a brief overview of its history by our server. The service was very, very good. So was the food. I had a filet and my perennial dining companion had scallops - both outstanding. We split the side of brussel sprouts and chorizo (yes, we are getting old) and started with eggplant bruschetta. All very good. The wine was outstanding - you can't go wrong with Barolo. So a very happy check mark next to The Whitney. We would definitely go back.
As to the concert, all I can say is if you have the opportunity to hear Pictures at an Exhibition live, you must go. It is one of those lifetime imperatives that you may not understand until you do it - but Pictures at an Exhibition never disappoints.
