 Charlie Trotter's | Chicago Restaurants | Fodor's Online Travel Guide
Our most recent meal at Charlie Trotter's was our first real disappointment in half a dozen visits over more than a decade.
The cuisine was consistently uninspired, from the ameuse-bouche - a couple of squares of ahi tuna dabbed with wasabi-flavored cream, resting on a bland vegetable puree - to the main desert, an olive oil sorbet with nice texture, but the chopped bits of green olive surrounding it seemed weird rather than interesting.
It made us wonder if Charlie Trotter's numerous other interests were distracting him from his original restaurant.
