Alpana comes home to the Gold Coast neighborhood, among 8 new restaurants in Chicago
Alpana Singh — the renown sommelier perhaps best recognized as the host of the Emmy Award-winning Chicagoland restaurant review show “Check, Please!” — just opened Alpana restaurant in Chicago on March 21.She owns the restaurant in the Gold Coast neighborhood with business partner Matt Fisher. Their chef is Juan Chavez, who has worked with Fisher for 20 years. Singh leads the wine program, and also created the food menu, including dessert.
The neighborhood is a destination for special-occasion splurges and splashy steakhouses, but Singh said she’d like to see that reputation evolve.» “I really wanted to celebrate that neighborhood spirit with this restaurant, which is also one of the reasons I named it after myself,” Singh said. “Because I’m one of the neighbors, it’s just Alpana’s.”“People love that polenta ,” Singh said. “It’s a polenta with the Parmesan fonduta and truffled mushrooms.”“The Brussels sprouts crostini was originally developed in 2014 for Seven Lions,” said Singh, who also offered the dish at Terra & Vine, opened in 2016.
Drinks also include creative and classic cocktails, with and without alcohol. The Zen Garden mixes muddled cucumber with elderflower and club soda. “In lieu of your classic photos of the Rat Pack, we’re putting up photos of women that have meant a great deal to me,” she said. “People like Rihanna and Beyoncé and Madonna and Dolly Parton. Women who aren’t afraid to walk their own path.”— a prestigious honor few achieve, which requires years of study and a rigorous exam — in solidarity with women accusing an elite wine organization of sexual harassment in 2020. She now describes herself as a retired master sommelier.
