Next Restaurant operates on a single tasting menu that changes with each new concept. The current one, Wall Street: 1987, sets the meal inside the world of 1980s Manhattan finance. The restaurant invites diners to join a mailing list to hear about upcoming menus, signaling that the format keeps rotating rather than settling on one fixed identity.
The restaurant sits on West Fulton Market in Chicago's Fulton Market District and operates under The Alinea Group.
Next has earned a Michelin star in five guide years: 2025, 2024, 2023, 2021, and 2019. The James Beard Foundation named it Best New Restaurant in 2012, and its kitchen has since drawn additional recognition from the foundation, including a Best Chef win in 2014, a Best Chef finalist nod in 2013, and Rising Star Chef of the Year finalist honors in 2012, 2016, and 2017.
