The St. Regis Chicago announced the names and concepts for two restaurants opening in the hotel in the coming year.

The two restaurants will be Miru, which means view in Japanese, and Tre Dita, which means three fingers in Italian, according to Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises. Miru will open on the 11th floor this Spring and Tre Dita will open on the second floor later in 2023, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The project has drawn big names, including Hisanobu Osaka, who is the chief for Miru. Evan Funke, the Los Angeles-based chef and restaurateur at Felix and Mother Wolf, will create the menu at Tre Dita.

Miru will seat about 225 indoors across the dining room, bar and lounge with two outdoor areas that can seat 100 guests each. Seating and size is not yet publicly available for Tre Dita. .

The St. Regis Chicago, formerly the Wanda Vista Tower, is a 101-story tower completed in 2020 for $1 billion. Located at 363 E Wacker Dr, it’s the city’s third-tallest building, and the highest designed by a female architect, Jeanne Gang, who heads Studio Gang Architects. The project includes The Residences at The St. Regis Chicago, which has 393 condos. The hotel portion of the project is expected to open on March 20 and includes 192 rooms on the first 12 floors.

The building regularly makes news for its high-priced condo sales. The Magellan-developed tower had the priciest condo sale of the year. Billionaire mining executive German Larrea from Mexico bought a $20.56 million unit on the 71st floor of the tower in late September.
