So many options!

Many have been mentioned below. I’m a big fan of Picolo Sogno - outstanding pasta, made in house. We also like Prosecco and Volare (on Grand) which are not too expensive.
There are some incredible sushi places if they want to spend some money. We like a spot called Kyoten, but there are 3 or 4 omakasi (SP?) places that are all outstanding. Aji Nagiri is great. The restaurant in the new St Regis is also really good and has great views.
For simple, I like The Gage on Michigan Ave and the Armitage Alehouse.
