According to an article from Block Club Chicago, The Alston aims to debut in the Gold Coast at 750 N State Street.
“We will be opening in the spring of 2025. Chef Tomaska will elevate the traditional steakhouse by utilizing the highest-quality ingredients, including the finest produce and beef from the Midwest alongside classic French techniques and the rich flavors of open-fire cooking,” a representative told What Now Chicago.
“Drawing on the reputation of one of Chicago’s most seasoned hospitality groups, Weiner, Mohr and the Fifty/50 team will curate an opulent experience from start to finish, highlighting tableside service and other special moments throughout service. Guests can look forward to servers with bread and cheese carts, along with Chef Jenner’s innovative take on a Duck a la Presse carved at the table, where sauces will also be prepared and cooked in front of guests.”
“More is more at The Alston, where the design will exude unparalleled luxury, as reflected in the dishes themselves. In addition to the grand 350-seat dining room, the space will boast a Champagne bar, an expansive private terrace, and both private and semi-private dining spaces, with an aesthetic that combines classic and contemporary touches taken to the exquisite.”
“The wine program will exude the same level of sophistication and excellence as the dinner menu, featuring an exclusive wine cellar housing an array of vintages, from esteemed classics to avant-garde boutique wines, each selected for its unique story and flavor profile. Traveling through the world’s most celebrated vineyards, The Alston’s selection will please both aficionados and novices alike, paired thoughtfully with Chef Jenner’s dinner menu.”
“In addition to its stunning dining and bar areas, The Alston will feature one of Chicago’s most exclusive members’ clubs. Drawing notable and distinguished guests from around the world, membership will be given by invitation only. Members will enjoy privileged access to chef collaborations, curated partnerships, bespoke events, and unique experiences that set the club apart in the city.”
