About

In the bustling heart of Downtown Chicago, where the pace of life moves with the rhythm of the city, a sanctuary unlike any other exists. Kindling, is not merely a restaurant but a one-of-a-kind respite that envelops guests in the comforting embrace of locals, family, tourists, and the unparalleled joy of genuine connections. It's an oasis where the sights, sounds, and aromas intertwine to evoke warming nostalgic memories, transporting visitors to a place that feels like an outdoor urban experience, infused with the thrill of discovery.

Situated within the architecturally iconic Willis Tower at the corner of Franklin and Adams, Kindling boasts a live fire show kitchen, wood-fired plates, and tasty cocktails in the heart of the city. At the helm of the kitchen is James Beard Award-winning Chef Jonathon Sawyer, who brings a worldly perspective and decades of wood-fired cooking to our internationally inspired menu. His expertise transforms each dish into a story, a journey that extends beyond the boundaries of traditional cuisine. The live fire and wood-smoked aromas evoke a sense of being in an urban park, further amplified by the restaurant's design and atmosphere, which mimics winding paths and lush greenery, facilitating discovery and wonder within its walls.

As guests meander through Kindling's doors, they're greeted by an environment that feels both expansive and intimate. Winding paths lead them through lush greenery, reminiscent of a park in full bloom, guiding them to fields of discovery and wonder. Every step is an invitation to explore, to immerse in the beauty of the moment, and to connect with the space and the people within it.
