ZED451 is the culmination of decades’ worth
of international travel and research. In our
warm, contemporary, 18,000 square foot
space, we sought to set a new standard in
modern upscale dining through our unique
approach to the dining experience. There are
no menus, you choose from a wide selection
of meats, fish, and poultry, and our tableside
chefs bring the offerings directly to your table.
Help yourself to our seasonal harvest tables
and take as much – or as little – as you wish.
At ZED451 you control the pacing and
portions, stay as long as you want and eat
what you desire.
The bar is an exceptional and unexpected
addition to the dining experience. The
451Lounge on the first floor is an
unbelievable urban retreat from the city, and
the real place to see and be seen in Chicago
this summer will be the 451Rooftop. An
outdoor bar and lounge space with a 360
degree view of the city. All of our specialty
cocktails in both lounges are made daily with
freshly squeezed juices and the wine list, like
our cuisine, highlights selections from around
the world!
The restaurant features 4 incredible private
event spaces. Perfect for rehearsal dinners,
cocktail receptions, seated dinners, showers,
weddings, sports and entertainment events,
and brunches.

Douglas Wickard, GM and his staff
welcomed, served and delivered
great cuisine making it the ultimate
in Chicago Dining! The
contemporary style interior is
superb luxury with the warm
greeting at the front door to the
rooftop garden the experience was
fabulous. The wood flooring and
creative touches throughout this
Chicago restaurant combined with
the carefully prepared dishes were
fare with flair.
It is compared to dinner at Oprah's
home. Buffett style for the first few
courses with butlers constantly
wandering with rump roast, garlic
steak, sirloin, filet, short ribs,
orange BBQ pork ribs, Parmesan
crusted pork medallions, grilled
chicken breast & legs, citrus
salmon and lamb.
Oh, and you have to start out with
the fondue meats appetizer, the
best. Zed definitely offers
something unique-beyond compare.
