We've eaten at Fiora's three times now and just recently had my first experience in what they call the "sun room." Glassed in on three sides and surrounded by small lights, the space created one of the best night-time ambiances I've had in a great while.

My wife and were celebrating a special occasion so we went all in on a bottle of Camus. The wine list is very well curated, however, with many great options on the 40-60 price range. We got started with our server Chris's recommendation of the black mussels, which have just a hint of saffron and were fantastic.

For entrees, I ordered the Duck Confit for the first time and was extremely pleased. This will likely be my entree of choice for the next several visits. My wife stuck with her standard, the slow-braised short rib, which we both agree is one of the best meals to be had in Chicagoland.

During dinner, we could hear live music coming from the bar area of the restaurant and asked Chris if there were seats. He graciously suggested we finish with our dessert in the bar area, and even took the time to set up a table for us before walking us over. The music and dessert (always bananas froster bread pudding) were a perfect finish to another great night. We look forward to our next visit.
