Our 2026 Menus
Grace, Greed, Glam
In 2026, travel without moving. We honor the traditions of Japan, recreate a time of excess, and explore the world of fashion. Join us to discover Japan, Wall Street 1987, and Fashion.
Japan
January 24 - April 26, 2026
Let us transport you to Japan.
This past year we traveled to Japan as part of Alinea’s 20th anniversary celebration.
Executive Chef Alan Mileykovsky, General Manager Kate Lang, and Chef Grant Achatz, the trio behind the Next menus, immersed themselves into Japan together - a culture defined by grace, tranquillity and precision.
This menu is both a reflection and a continuation of that journey. We are honoring Japanese culture while blending our Next techniques and ideas to create the unexpected. Weaving together memories of markets and museums, minimalist architecture and listening bar experiences - to create a zen one-of-a-kind Japanese experience.
We’re excited to return home and translate “the Japan we lived” into something serene and distinctly Next.
Wall Street 1987
May 2 - August 30, 2026
“Greed is good.” – Gordon Gekko
New York City, 1987. The bull is running, the Dow is up 44 percent, and a new class is emerging—young, ambitious, and hungry for everything money can buy.
This is the world of the power lunch, born in The Grill Room and fueled by the A-list at Le Cirque and Lutèce. Here, fine dining flourishes under new patronage, where the city’s most exclusive tables become the ultimate stage for titans, magnates, and the elite.
This summer, we take you back to a time when Manhattan ran the world.
September 5, 2026 - January 10, 2027
Fashion
Haute Cuisine, Haute Couture.
Tonight, we dine in the language of couture.
Each dish is crafted as a designer would a garment - cut, shaped and draped through silhouette, texture, and emotion - guided by the legendary maisons and the quiet artistry of the atelier.
We explore the lineage of fashion: rococo opulence reimagined in edible form, fabric technique and craftsmanship become culinary innovation, and the pulse of contemporary culture expressed through the unexpected. Here, textiles become flavors; accessories become gestures; garments become experiences.
Tonight, the table becomes an Atelier. Each course, a statement piece.
A feast for those who believe style is not worn — but lived, felt, and tasted.

We hold 129 venues in Chicago, IL and could score 64 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: we haven’t been able to look at this venue’s sourcing yet, so there is nothing to break down. A row of zeroes here would say we checked and found nothing, and we have not checked.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 — NOT YET ANALYZED. We have not been able to look: no findable site or menu, or the site blocks crawlers. This is the absence of a measurement, NOT a finding of 'no sourcing', and must never be presented as one. Score is a floor and carries no information about this venue's quality.
Not yet analyzed. We haven't been able to look — no findable site or menu, or the site blocks crawlers. This is the absence of a measurement, not a finding of "no sourcing". Check back soon.
