if you got $$$ to spend and want a cool dining experience (molecular gastronomy), check out Moto. Reserve your table on opentable.com. Pricy though, dropped $800 on v-day :smhAlso, if you like chicken, fried chicken.. Crisp in Lakeview.http://www.yelp.com/biz/crisp-chicago

The Gold Coast area has great bars, shopping and dining. It's only a few block west of Michigan Ave.
Restaurants: Dika's, Hugos Frog Bar, Gibsons and Mortons. As others stated for the best dining view the Signature Room is key. Most "rooftops" are closed this time of year.
Pizza: Giordanos.
Bars: Lux Bar, The Whiskey, Mothers, Shenanigans and Hunt Club.
Club: Proof
Outside of the Gold Coast:
Comedy Clubs: Second City and Laugh Factory
Club: Enclave and MID
Other things to see: Personally, I would recommend going to the The Art Institute over the planetarium unless that's more your thing. Also, a lot of people dig the Shedd Aquarium.
As for St. Patrick's Day; to state the obvious, make sure you see the river dyed green which happens at 10:45am. The parade starts at noon and is always packed.
Have a great time!!

^Yea that restaurant is crazy. Printed food. Another super-pricey option is Alinea.
You should be pretty set with everything else said in here but I don't think Wrigleyville has been mentioned. Super high concentration of bars and restaurants.

Hot Doug's is awesome. Kuma's corner is a great burger place. As for the bars...there are just so many! Great city. I can't wait to back.
Also, I second Sunda. One of the best meals I've ever had.
