Raising a glass to our friends at Lemon. 🍋

Today they were named Top 10 Honorees in the 2026 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards, and nominated for both Best U.S. Bar Team *and* Best U.S. Cocktail Bar.

We’ve had a front row seat to the care, energy, and detail behind what they do every day, and it shows.

Huge congratulations to the entire crew. We’re forever cheering you on!

“If there’s a better two-mile dining stretch in Chicago, we still don’t know where it is.”

Chicago Avenue between Noble and California is once again in the conversation, with Crain's Chicago recognizing the renewed energy across West Town, including SIX4 clients, Beatnik West Town, GoodFunk, and Nettare.

It’s proof that strong neighborhoods are shaped by operators willing to take risks, invest deeply, and build for the long term.

Proud to work alongside the teams defining this stretch, and appreciative of Ari Bendersky for highlighting the momentum unfolding here.

Get out and explore West Town today!

If there's a better two-mile dining stretch in Chicago, we still don't know where it is After the pandemic shut everything down, the vibrancy on Chicago Avenue is back as more places including Brasero, Omakase Shoji and Michelin-starred Feld have opened.

Last week, we were honored to welcome Mayor Brandon Johnson to Amaru during Choose Chicago’s Chicago Restaurant Week.

He was greeted by Chef Rodolfo Cuadros, who has long been creating food with intention that celebrates culture while standing firmly behind the communities that make our industry possible.

Moments like this underscore why Chef Rodolfo’s work resonates so deeply within Chicago’s dining landscape. We’re grateful to champion him and can’t wait to share what’s next with this talented crew.
