Founded by Chef Kyle Cottle, Sepia is a long-running Michelin-starred American restaurant on North Jefferson in the West Loop, situated in a warmly designed space with wooden walls, exposed brick, and vintage décor. The ingredient-driven menu emphasizes seasonality, with technique enhancing rather than overshadowing natural flavors.
