Food & Beverage: Globally Inspired, Chef-Driven, and Experiential

The menu is anchored in the legacy of Chicago steakhouses, and takes a bold, globally-inspired turn. At its core lies exclusive Illinois-raised, full-blood Wagyu beef from Miller Wagyu Ranch, paired with distinguished Australian and Japanese cuts for a world-class steakhouse experience.

Signature dishes illustrate the kitchen’s creative drive: a luxurious potato rosette oozing with molten cheese and crowned by truffle shavings; a playful yet refined dino short rib glazed in tamarind and paired with sticky rice; and cured and roasted carrots à l’orange, transforming a simple vegetable into a statement dish. Options for vegetarians are equally sumptuous with indulgent entrees such as the charred Lion’s Mane mushroom steak, which delivers flavorful depth and texture.

Complementing the menu is a beverage program built to match the culinary boldness. Sommelier Colin Jones curates an inspiring wine list that spans rare reserve selections, cherished Old World bottles, and daring New World finds. Over at the bar, Damian Keehn infuses playful sophistication into each cocktail, crafting standout drinks like The Golden Hour with passionfruit, cinnamon, and coconut-washed tequila; the Reina del Fuego, a smoky mezcal drink with mango and tamarind; and Silk Over Smoke, a bright vodka blend with lychee, strawberry, and fresh citrus.

What ties it all together is the culinary team behind it. Chef/Partner Soo Ahn, a MICHELIN-starred chef and Top Chef alum, is the vision behind the menu’s inventive edge. He’s supported by Executive Chef Nemanja Milunović, whose resume includes stints at Alinea, Aba, and Prime & Provisions and brings fine-dining rigor; and Chef de Cuisine Andy Lownes, whose expertise in top steakhouses like Gibsons Italia, Au Cheval, and Chicago Cut ensures every cut sings. Finally, Corporate Pastry Chef Amy Arnold is experienced in innovating dessert programs at Siena Tavern and Four Corners Group, and rounds out the star-studded team, ensuring the sweet finish is as considered as each savory course.

Together, they create a culinary experience that’s as inventive as it is elegant—one that promises event planners not just a meal, but a fully textured, thoughtful journey from first course to last sip.

For those seeking a new Chicago steakhouse that performs as a luxury event venue, Adalina Prime effortlessly checks every box.
