Painting a culinary picture
requires the proper canvas,
the perfect picture frame.
 
At TRU, each table is a work of modern art.
Unique Surfaces
From studio to table, Chef Tramonto and Glass Artsistry re-define the idea of "plate." With Rick Tramonto's original design and Glass Artistry's realization, "stairway to caviar heaven" playfully dares one to climb. Contemporary, innovative glass sculpture enhances the dining experience. Our collection also includes an assortment of original glass surfaces, hand painted exclusively for TRU.
 
Linens
Each table is a minimalist exhibit bathed in gallery highlighting. On view, sensual, silk-white tableclothes - subtle beneath each TRU delight presented upon it. For over 160 years, the House of Frette has woven the world's most alluring linen. TRU is the only restaurant in the Midwest to exclusively feature this luxury.
 
China
Whether a dish requires the understated beauty of imported French Limoges, the elegant French Bernardaud, the regality of gold leaf and azure trimmed German Villery & Boch or the vibrant, inventiveness of Italy's Versace, TRU China enhances each course with global flair. Translate Versace's vivid imagination onto the finest of Rosenthal china and discover the delicate bearer of Rick Tramonto's exquisitely insane truffled soup. Each unique, rare pattern is set differently, reflecting the individuality of every presentation.
 
Crystal
Time honored crystal craftsmanship, design personal to each grape varietal, style ranging from modern to classic, the house of Riedel perfects wine presentation. On permanent display, Riedel Sternware, both at New York's Museum of Modern Art and at TRU.
 
Utensils
Oneida's sterling silver flat ware and Laguiole's hand made utensils - stylish tools with which to enjoy each TRU course.
 

Laguiole, a hand made, custom utensil imported from France, includes an original turquoise knife accompanying Chef Tramonto's beef boullibaise.
