new place to check out this spring - Plush.
Plush (1104 W. Madison St.; 312-491-9800), an intimate restaurant lounge, opened December 6th in the West Loop as a comfortable replacement for Phil and Lou’s. (Phil and Lou’s moved down the block to 1124 W. Madison St., where it’s planning to reopen this spring.) Plush’s red-toned room has a slick vibe with mosaics, mirrors, a hand-carved marble statue, and an eclectic menu that includes ravioli stuffed with apple and chicken. “No one has ever heard of it and everyone wants it and it’s really good,” says owner Bill Kleronomos. Tuesday, by the way, is belly dancer night; plan accordingly. Belly Dancers! Hookahs! Deejays!From Dish
