The Grill on the Alley
909 N. Michigan Ave.
It is not always spelled quite this way (gravlax is another version) but it’s hard to believe there would be a better interpretation, even in its native Sweden. This appetizer, from one of Chicago’s newest steakhouses, is as delicate as they come. Beautifully moist smoked salmon, as pink as a good peach, gets perches on toasted slivers of rye, and is topped with a creamy dill sauce and topped with the sheerest round of red onion. It’s $11.75.
