Recently opened in February, MARKETHOUSE brings a touch of the Heartland to the hustle and bustle of Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood. Executive Chef Scott Walton successfully unites locally grown produce, herbs, meat, and poultry by using innovative cooking techniques from around the globe. MARKETHOUSE accentuates the use of the finest seasonal, fresh, and sustainable ingredients with weekly trips to the local farmers' market and daily visits to their rooftop garden. Walton's culinary expertise is demonstrated in signature dishes such as the Miller Farms' Rotisserie Chicken with honey-cayenne mop, pickled lemon, and asparagus; the grilled Prime Angus Burger stuffed with barbecue-braised short ribs, roasted peppers, and onions topped with Carr Valley aged white Cheddar; as well as their “MARKETHOUSE Way” Meatloaf, which is accompanied by a twice-baked potato and vegetables. Guests can indulge in city sophistication in the naturally toned dining room accented with rich brown leather chairs and contemporary metal and glass fixtures. MARKETHOUSE boasts a comprehensive wine list, a full bar, and a semi-private rotunda to host your next intimate function.
