This spring, Chef Jenner Tomaska, Scott Weiner and Greg Mohr will unveil The Alston, a traditional Midwestern steakhouse with 1920’s French Nouvelle cuisine.
Chef Tomaska will use produce and beef from the Midwest alongside French techniques and the flavors of open-fire cooking. Weiner, Mohr and the Fifty/50 team will curate an experience from start to finish, offering tableside service and other special moments throughout service. Guests can expect servers with bread and cheese carts, along with Chef Jenner’s take on a Duck a la Presse carved at the table, where sauces will also be prepared and cooked in front of guests.
"Our goal for The Alston is to reimagine the traditional Chicago steakhouse,” says Tomaska. “I’m thrilled to further explore my passion and experience in classic French techniques while working with local purveyors and farmers of the Midwest to create something truly unique. By focusing on executing traditional dishes, sauces and spreads of a classic steakhouse to the highest caliber, The Alston will offer an unforgettable dining experience in one of the most beautiful dining rooms in Chicago."
The Alston's design will include a grand 350-seat dining room, a Champagne bar, a private terrace, and both private and semi-private dining spaces.
“We are excited to welcome both sophisticated luxury and an impeccable culinary experience to the Gold Coast community,” says Scott Weiner, Co-Founder of the Fifty/50 Group. “The Alston will offer an exclusive destination for both local industry professionals and out-of-town guests to experience something that has never been done before at this level in the city.”
