Couples Dinner @ Sushi Mon

Jeff and I met up with our friends, Jen and Andy, for dinner tonight. We have been planning to do a BYOB Japanese, so a few good options comes to mind in our neighborhood. However, to our surprise, pretty much all of them only had available reservations after 9:30 p.m. It might be because the weather has started to get warmer, which is always great for frolicking in Chicago. We ended up finding this lovely place, Sushi Mon, in Lincoln Park with great reviews on Yelp, so why not give it a try!

We ordered a handful of rolls, a few pieces of sashimi and nigiri, as well as their famous "press sushi", where the rice and ingredients were compressed and then topped with slices of fish and their special sauce. Everything was very delicious at this cozy joint. We had such a good time sharing the food, wine and many laughs. Just the way I like it for a Friday night!
