Description

The new dinner and brunch restaurant features an expansive raw bar, where fresh shucked oysters will be the star year-round. Helming the kitchen is chef Brian Greene, former executive chef of The Savoy in Wicker Park. The concept is the first upscale food-driven project between Bryan Burrow and Jay Runnfeldt, a partner with Three Headed Productions (The Drawing Room, The Back Room). “With Bow & Stern, we’re aiming to celebrate the social exuberance of sharing oysters with friends,” said Jay, who’s passion for Midwestern sailing influenced the restaurant’s name. “However, we won’t limit people's eating experience. Our kitchen will promote a fishing and farm-to-table culture, focusing on local fisheries and farms and the freshest ingredients.” With Bow & Stern, Chef has imagined an inspired dinner and brunch that incorporates beloved classics with the modern style and appetite of the city’s thriving raw bar scene. As its eponymous name suggests, oysters are a menu cornerstone, featuring 8 to 12 varieties daily sourced from both coasts and the Gulf. At any given time, Brian will dedicate roughly 60-70% of his menu to seafood, including specialties like tuna tartar, Cioppino, Great Lakes Whitefish, Grilled Sturgeon, and other seasonal fish. Guests can also discover terrestrial and land & sea recipes, from Stout Braised Oxtail and Kurabota Pork Chops to Confit Pork Belly Scallops and Rock Lobster & Grilled Wagyu Sirloin.
