A culinary renaissance is unfolding in Chicago's vibrant West Loop, and Parker Hospitality is leading the charge with a new trifecta of culinary delights: the sleek modern Mediterranean steakhouse Nisos Prime, the trendy Prime Bar, and the exclusive speakeasy, The Lounge.
Nestled at 802 West Randolph Street, the three unique dining experiences beckon Chicagoans with tantalizing flavors and immersive experiences, all under the direction of award-winning Chef Rick Tramonto. Parker Hospitality is determined to make each visit unforgettable.
On August 24, Nisos hosted the exclusive opening party of The Lounge. Guests enjoyed wine, cocktails, bites, and a live DJ set. Menu highlights included truffle arancini, steak tartare, and a curated list of wines.

The Lounge delivers the experience of a traditional speakeasy, with a hidden entrance, cozy furnishings, and dimly lit ambiance. The space will feature live DJ sets on Fridays and Saturdays, table service, and a craft cocktail program. The Lounge will also be available as a private event and dinner party space.
Prime Bar, which opened on August 16, combines casual dining with the essence of the Mediterranean. Time-honored dishes are given a Chicago twist, from sizzling 8-ounce filets to pasta infused with local flavors. The bar promises both traditional concoctions and innovative mixology.
In November, the pièce de résistance, Nisos Prime, will open its doors. From succulent steaks to craft cocktails, the menu, curated by Chef Tramonto and his team, promises a symphony of flavors.

Parker Hospitality Founder/CEO Brad Parker emphasizes that while each space stands on its own merit, together they create a symphony of culinary artistry. "Whether it's a post-work refreshment, a dreamy date night, or an energetic night out, our West Loop locations cater to every desire," he asserts.
