The color sepia is a deep, rich brown, evocative of treasured photos and olden days. The décor at new West Loop restaurant Sepia features a lot of the color, unsurprisingly, and is elegant and nostalgic in just the same way. On the menu you'll find contemporary-yet-traditional American dishes, such as grilled quail with mustard greens and warm pig trotters vinaigrette, grilled flatiron steak with duck fat potatoes, and bacon-bleu cheese-peach flatbread, to be paired with something from the 100-bottle boutique wine list. Never has a hot young restaurant seemed so classic.
