Forte at Symphony Center

Forte at Symphony Center Forte Events at Symphony Center: A premier event and rental space. Symphony Center’s new restaurant, Forte, offers a contemporary take on Mediterranean cuisine.

Designed in partnership with Levy, the new restaurant complements the concert experience, with new dining options, elevated private events, and updated concert bars that expertly pair with the iconic Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Forte’s menu features contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. Fresh, lively flavors are whipped into mezze-style starters and pastas, while a hearth oven cooks up dishes like f

ocaccia with roasted fig and gorgonzola, and braised lamb shank topped with gremolata. A selection of global wines is curated by James Beard-nominated Sommelier and Levy Beverage Director Rachael Lowe. Forte also offers classic cocktails, draft beer, locally roasted Metric coffee and locally made Paulo gelato in a space that’s recently refreshed to pair with the historic building. Conveniently and centrally located at 65 E. Adams St. at the corner of Adams and Wabash, Forte is created for audience members, along with locals and visitors who aren’t attending a performance. Forte Restaurant and Events excitedly awaits the chance to toast with you this winter! The Richard & Helen Thomas Club is now open for additional dates with audience dining and private events. When not reserved for Club Member dining, the Thomas Club offers ticket holders delightful dining experiences as well as small and large-scale private events that inspire receptions, cocktail hours, seated dinners or luncheons. Custom menus are created to correspond with special concert programming – which offer concertgoers another sensory way to enhance their concert going experience.
