RIVER NORTH. Suzy Crofton has made a name for herself on Chicago's competitive culinary circuit by offering some of the most delicately flavored dishes in the area. The understated, posh dining room is small and tranquil with pale gray walls, contemporary art, and gilt accents. The real spectacle is the menu, which offers seasonal dishes such as perfect crab cakes with sweet red peppers, Cajun barbecued shrimp atop a mound of sweet potato hay, or barbecue pork loin with Yukon gold mashed potatoes and smoked apple chutney. No trendy items are necessary here; the quiet luxury of the room and the food speak for themselves. Reservations recommended. Business to business casual attire. EL: Brown Line to Merchandise Mart
