Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables in Chicago: Where to Use the $300 Dining Credit

Chicago is one of the better Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables markets because the current list is not limited to one type of meal. As of July 8, 2026, Chicago shows 26 participating restaurants across West Loop, River North, Logan Square, Lincoln Park, Uptown, Pilsen, and West Town.

Last checked: July 8, 2026. Restaurant participation can change.

Quick Take

The Chase Sapphire Reserve® offers up to $300 per year in statement credits at Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurants through OpenTable. The credit is split into up to $150 from January through June and up to $150 from July through December.

For Chicago, the list includes 26 current restaurants: West Loop restaurants, neighborhood favorites, steakhouses, tasting menus, Michelin-linked spots, and a few casual-but-good options. Eight restaurants appear to be new since the earlier version of the list, while 11 restaurants that appeared earlier were not showing in the July 8, 2026 check.

Chicago Restaurants Currently on the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables List

Daisies Chicago

A Logan Square restaurant known for house-made pasta, Midwest ingredients, and a bakery/cafe side. Good option if you want a neighborhood dinner where the credit can cover a meaningful part of the check.

Mott Street

A Michelin Bib Gourmand favorite with shareable Asian American dishes and a lively neighborhood feel. Strong pick if you want something casual enough to use the credit without a huge bill.

Alla Vita

A Boka Restaurant Group Italian restaurant in the West Loop from chef Lee Wolen’s team. Good fit for pasta, groups, and a polished dinner that is not a full tasting menu.

Momotaro

A multi-level West Loop Japanese restaurant with sushi, robata, and izakaya energy. Useful if you want a larger restaurant with more menu flexibility than a fixed tasting menu.

Fioretta

An Italian American steakhouse in Fulton Market with a dressier room and live entertainment. Best if you were already considering steak or a bigger night out.

Mirra

A South Asian and Mexican collaboration with à la carte options and chef’s counter pricing. One of the more interesting newer-feeling choices on the list.

Boka

A Michelin-starred Lincoln Park restaurant from chef Lee Wolen, with tasting-menu and à la carte polish. Strong special-occasion option that still feels Chicago rather than generic.

Chicago Cut Steakhouse

A River North steakhouse with USDA prime beef, a large wine list, and river views. Straightforward use case if you want a steakhouse and would have paid cash anyway.

avec West Loop

A long-running West Loop favorite with Mediterranean dishes, wine, and communal energy. Good pick if you want a Chicago staple where the credit can fit a normal dinner.

avec River North

The River North sibling to avec West Loop, useful if you want the same general style closer to downtown hotels. A practical pick when neighborhood convenience matters.

Brasero

A wood-fired South American restaurant in West Town with national best-new-restaurant attention. Strong pick if you want something current and flavorful without defaulting to steak.

Ever

Curtis Duffy’s two-Michelin-star tasting-menu restaurant in the West Loop. The credit helps, but this remains one of the city’s biggest splurge options.

Sepia

A Michelin-starred West Loop restaurant with seasonal contemporary American cooking. Good special-occasion choice if you want fine dining without going as expensive as Ever.

Hawksmoor Chicago

The Chicago location of the London steakhouse, inside the LaSalle Street cable-car powerhouse. Useful for steak, cocktails, and a downtown-friendly dinner.

Anelya

A Ukrainian restaurant from Johnny Clark and Beverly Kim, with homestyle dishes and an appetizer cart. Good neighborhood pick if you want something different from West Loop dining.

Cariño

An Uptown restaurant with a Latin tasting menu and taco omakase from chef Norman Fenton. Interesting choice if you want a more intimate dinner and do not mind a structured format.

After

A Curtis Duffy cocktail bar next to Ever, recognized by national bar lists. Better for drinks and a polished night out than for someone trying to use the credit on a full dinner.

Mariscos San Pedro

A Pilsen seafood restaurant from the Le Bouchon, Obelix, and Taqueria Chingon team. Good pick if you want a more casual, seafood-focused meal with strong chef backing.

Lula Cafe

A Logan Square staple since 1999, known for seasonal cooking and neighborhood energy. One of the better Chicago choices if you want quality without the steakhouse or tasting-menu price.

PIZZ'AMICI

A West Town pizza bar focused on Chicago thin crust and Italian-American dishes. One of the easier ways to use the credit on a more casual meal.

PERILLA korean steakhouse

A modern Korean steakhouse with tabletop grills and a chef’s counter. Good option if you want steakhouse energy with a Korean angle, especially downtown.

Obelix

A contemporary French restaurant in River North from the Le Bouchon family, known for richer bistro dishes and a lively room. Good fit for a splurge that is not a tasting menu.

Kasama

A Michelin-starred Filipino restaurant and bakery from Genie Kwon and Tim Flores. Dinner is the splurge; daytime is more casual, so check what is bookable through OpenTable.

Elske

A West Loop restaurant with Scandinavian influence and a quieter fine-dining feel. Good pick if you want a thoughtful dinner without the bigger production of Ever.

Prime & Provisions Steakhouse

A River North steakhouse focused on USDA prime beef. Useful if you want a predictable steakhouse use of the credit, but compare prices against places you already like.

The Alston

A large steakhouse from chef Jenner Tomaska with a Champagne bar and private-club feel. Better for a planned bigger dinner than a simple way to use $150.

Final Thoughts

Chicago looks like a strong market for using the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables credit, as long as the eligible restaurants overlap with places you would have considered anyway.

The $300 annual amount is useful only if the participating restaurants match how you already dine. If the list pushes you into a restaurant you would not otherwise choose, discount the value.

Before booking, check the current OpenTable Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables page for Chicago and make sure the restaurant is still participating.
