Team dinner: Party of 13?

Hey Chicago food nerds, I’ve got a global team of folks coming into town at the end of Feb and am looking for ideas on where to take cast of characters on a Tuesday night.

If it were 100% up to me, I’d call Ramen San in River North and book us in there - fun environment, good drinks, experiential & not terribly expensive food, near where everyone will be staying…it ticks all the boxes for me.

However, I’ve done this exact thing dozens of times since Ramen San was born into existence in the early 20-teens (not for this team). It’s kinda getting boring for me (and at the end of the day, the guy making the plans should get some enjoyment, yeah?

What say you, dear chicago food friends?

I’m not against putting people on the blue or red line, for the right experience, for what it’s worth (and I’m taking them to the bulls game the next evening).
