Birthday dinner for out-of-towners, new Chicago ideas?

We are not looking for a steak place....more fish eaters but love unique meats like venison, pork belly, shanks, etc. Although I keep going back to Blackbird as an option, has anyone recently enjoyed Boka (former Charlie Trotter employee) or the new Eve? Thanks!

Birthday dinner for out-of-towners, new Chicago ideas?

We come to Chicago often and have done many of the well known restaurants (Trotters, Tru, Graham Elliotts, Everest., Kevin....). Looking for something we haven't tried for a birthday dinner, we are adventurous diners, but would also like an interesting or romantic atmosphere. Intrigued by Boka's food, the new Eve, Les Nomades, Naha (but might be closed next weekend), Sepia & Otum. Blackbird looks interesting but not sure about the small, colder looking interior. Can you give your input on recent dining experiences as these places or other suggestions? Checked out Alinea & L20 but they may be a little too pricey right now, although I would like to hear more about L20. Thanks!
