More Chicago restaurants are getting back in the game — albeit tentatively — as phase four continues.
The Aviary (and the intimate, lower level The Office) returns this weekend, featuring a la carte cocktails, along with three- and five-course cocktail tastings ($65 and $135, respectively). 955 W. Fulton Market, 312-226-0868, theaviary.com
Cobblestone European Bistro and Cider House. This North Center restaurant opened quietly in late February, in the space of the former The Northman, only to be closed by the shutdown two weeks later. But it now makes its grand opening (re-opening?) Friday. Created by owner Markus Chwajol (founder of Bohemian House, which had a successful run in River North), it features chefs Reggie Wilbon and Ian Shuster. Cobblestone, like Bohemian House, focuses on contemporary European cuisine, abetted by a beverage program that includes 50 ciders and 50 beers, local and imported. 4337 N. Lincoln Ave., 773-935-2255, cobblestone-chicago.com
Rooh. Closed since the beginning of the shutdown, Rooh was able to create outdoor seating for 75 in the adjacent parking lot (decorated with plants and twinkling lights) and now has opened its first-floor dining room to an additional 30 guests. The contemporary-Indian menu retains Rooh’s signature dishes, with a few new items. 736 W. Randolph St., 312-267-2323, roohchicago.com
Lula Cafe, which has been offering Lula At Home carryout, has added a few new items, including a Pasta Yia Yia meal kit (the Yia Yia pasta is a long-time Lula signature) and a Lula Cafe Picnic Basket. Place day-before orders through tock.com, or call the restaurant for same-day orders. 2537 N. Kedzie Ave., 773-489-9554, lulacafe.com
Superkhana International reopens for daytime carryout Friday (the takeout window offers bagels, breakfast sandwiches and beverages, closing mid-afternoon), with plans to remain open until 7 p.m. beginning next week. In addition, it will add cocktails to go through Be Cocktails, and bagels, cookies and jams via pastry chef Kelly Helgesen’s Takeaway Bagel. 3059 W. Diversey Ave., 773-661-9028; superkhanachicago.com
Gadabout opens for indoor dining Friday, adding Saturday-Sunday brunch service as well. Full-menu carryout still available. 5212 N. Clark St., 773-944-0429, gadaboutchicago.com
