Ahoy Matey

Oysters, mussels and surf & turf sliders. Oh, and champagne. All while sitting waterside on a 2,000 foot patio. Ahh, the Coast.

But wait, it’s not the Coast. It’s your very own nautical summer in Chicago.

With our first-ever Chicago-sailing trip merely two weeks away, Delve is becoming enamored with the boating scene in the Windy City. Taking that love a little further, we just caught wind of the new inhabitant of the former DeLaCosta space. Introducing Quay: The new drive-up waterfront restaurant and lounge that’s dropping anchor along the Ogden Slip by Navy Pier. From what we hear (still in the soft-opening stages), the set up is a trio of a sports lounge, a dining room and an atrium (on the water). Did we mention the lounge is equipped with 45 plasmas? Well, it is. So no need to try to come up with creative ways to convince the boy to join you.

What we’re loving most (other than the waterfront and people watching, of course) is that Leanne Strickler, known for her masteries at Mercadito and Nana, is behind the cocktail menu, promising seasonally-driven cocktails.

Don’t have a boat? There’s an entrance on Illinois.

Here's to setting sail.
