We're excited to welcome a new addition to our Land and Sea Dept. team at the Chicago Athletic Association: Chef Johnny Anderes is the new executive chef, overseeing Cherry Circle Room, Drawing Room, Game Room and Milk Room. Johnny was formerly executive chef and partner at Bar Biscay, and prior to that, Telegraph and The Kitchen.

Chef Johnny is preparing a special four-course Christmas Day dinner this year, featuring a bread and salad course, your choice of octopus with almonds, chorizo, garlic, kumquats, potatoes, or potato leek soup with white sturgeon caviar, then three choices of entree: Glazed ham with holiday mustard sauce, herb-crusted prime rib with jus, or whitefish with brown butter, grapefruit, and roe — plus dessert! This feast can be yours for $125 per person, including tax and gratuity. The full Cherry Circle Room beverage menu will be available.
