Alinea opened on Halsted Street in May 2005, the first restaurant from chef Grant Achatz and partner Nick Kokonas. By 2010 it held three Michelin stars and has carried them every year since the Guide arrived in 2011. Achatz, a Charlie Trotter alumnus and Thomas Keller protégé, treats the tasting menu as continuous theatre: edible helium balloons of green apple, hot-pepper-flavoured ice, the famous painted-tablecloth dessert finished tableside. The room was remodeled in 2016 into three flows (Salon, Gallery, Kitchen Table). A reservation is among the hardest in American dining; Kokonas built the Tock system to manage it.
