Parson's Chicken & Fish

Parson's Chicken & Fish ranks 4th in the list of best outdoor restaurants in Chicago. Land and Sea Dept's latest project is Parson's, and the company knows how to design a space with personality. Everyone congregates in the yard, from tattooed couples holding cans of cheap beer to babies and their mothers and their mothers. People congregate in the large outdoor area, which is furnished with light wooden picnic tables, striped umbrellas, string lights, skinny trees, and ping pong tables. On Parson's Field, everyone is just a friend of a friend you haven't met yet.

There's a reason Negroni is so popular: it's a delicious Negroni, frozen or not. Bartender Charlie Schott replaces the regular Campari with a Luxardo Bitter, which is less viscous and sweeter, making it even easier to create a balanced cocktail. For the margarita, Parson substitutes malic acid and sugar for salt, resulting in a cake that tastes exactly like Sour Patch Kids and adds tartness to the smoky mezcal. The fun ends when your phone rings and your table is ready, just like an outdoor party in the rain. The interior is extremely small, with only a few barstools and a complicated seating arrangement - communal U-shaped booths.

Chef Hunter Moore's menu is divided into three sections: raw, fresh, and fried, with most dishes priced between $6 and $8. While chicken and fish appear to be the main attractions, they are not. It must be. Those will be pristine oysters served with a slice of lemon and citrus wine. Green bean salad is brought to life with grilled octopus tentacles, fresh pea shoots, and crispy peas. And deep-fried (salted cod) chips, which make an excellent savory bar dish.
