Noah Sandoval's two Michelin star tasting menu, reached by freight elevator in the West Loop
Oriole is a tasting-menu restaurant in Chicago's West Loop, set in a former warehouse and entered through a converted freight elevator. Executive Chef and owner Noah Sandoval has run it since it opened in 2016, with a contemporary American menu that blends French and Japanese elements.
Oriole holds two Michelin stars, a distinction it has earned repeatedly since opening, and it was named Restaurant of the Year at the 2022 Jean Banchet Awards. Sandoval won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes in 2025.
The dining room looks onto a spotless open kitchen beneath a striking ceiling collage. The extended tasting menu is constantly evolving, and guests can book either the dining room or the kitchen table, a front-row dining experience. A private dining room hosts parties of up to 20 guests, and there is no dress code.
The Loft, directly above the restaurant, extends the evening into an overnight stay: a furnished space with a king bed, full bathroom, dining area and kitchenette, booked as a package with a Kitchen Table reservation for two. Reservations are released on Tock on a rolling 90-day calendar, and every available table is shown online.
