Keeping with a classic, yet bold approach, the Albert fuses signature and innovative dishes with intricate nuances that shock the taste buds and make the art of dining a pleasure. Einstein once said “To keep your balance you must keep moving.” In this vein the Albert strives to embrace the eclectic and the seasonal. With an eye on aesthetic, our food and our cocktails serve to playfully present the familiar in a distinctly creative fashion- crafted with global influence and Midwestern ingredients. Set in a space that honors the surreal with stunning art, lively energy and warm hospitality- the Albert aims to school and to stimulate.
