Grand Opening: Balena Restaurant

Moshpix: Lincoln Park's healthy restaurant scene has a new player in the form of Balena restaurant, a partnership between the BOKA Restaurant Group's Kevin Boehm and Rob Katz and The Bristol's John Ross and Phil Walters. The restaurant takes over the space at 1633 N Halsted where Landmark used to reside, and Chef Chris Pandel of The Bristol helms the kitchen at the Italian-inspired eatery. CS Magazine hosted a grand opening party for the new spot on Tuesday night. Photos courtesy Donna Binbek Photography.
