S.K.Y.

At its Lincoln Park address, S.K.Y. serves Stephen Gillanders’s contemporary American cooking with dishes that move across culinary traditions. The current dinner menu includes tuna tartare “lumpia,” Sichuan ricotta with mapo ragù, stone-bowl bibimbap and a slow-cooked prime rib with six-spice jus. The range is part of the restaurant’s identity; order across small and large plates to see how the kitchen handles it.

Stephen Gillanders’s cross-cultural menu

Gillanders is the owner and executive chef. The restaurant takes its initials from his wife, Seon Kyung Yuk. Filipino, Korean and other influences appear in named dishes without turning the menu into a single-region brief. The tuna tartare “lumpia” and bibimbap make that approach more concrete than a broad “New American” label.
