How this list is built. Restaurants and bars come from Google Places for Chicago, refreshed Oct 14, and are split between the two tabs by the venue type Google reports. Booking platform is detected from each restaurant's own website. Michelin and Sapphire Reserve marks are matched by name and place. Where Google has no description we say what we hold about the venue instead.

What the marks mean. Since August 1 a restaurant only triggers the Amex Resy credit if its Resy page shows the “Qualifies for Resy Credit” badge — we open those pages and look, last on Sep 15, and a blank badge means we haven't checked yet, not that the credit fails. A sighting inside thirty days reads “Resy credit”; an older one carries the date we saw it, because what we can honestly say is what we saw and when. A Sapphire Reserve table is on Chase's Exclusive Tables list, where the $150 half-yearly dining credit applies — enrol the card at OpenTable first · list Sep 9. Michelin means starred, Bib Gourmand or Selected in the 2026 US guide, collected Sep 9. James Beard and the bar lists are the current year's awards, with a win shown differently from a nomination.

Card credits change without notice. Confirm on Resy or with your issuer before you count on one.
