Tasting menu experience with an “aversion”

I am looking to book a tasting menu dinner at one of Chicago’s Michelin starred restaurants, and I’m running into an issue in that I generally do not enjoy seafood, which seems to make up the bulk of most menus right now.

I don’t have an allergy, and I will taste anything. But while I may occasionally enjoy it, I usually can’t have more than one or two bites, and often find it nauseating. There are some things that I do like (oysters, some raw fish, and the occasional shrimp).

I’ve been trying for many years to get over this aversion, but realistically, it would be a bummer of a dinner for me if a large portion of the menu was seafood.

Every place that I’ve looked says online that they are unable to accommodate aversions. I’m not picky other than this, and don’t want to fake an obscure allergy to some but not all fish.

Any tips on places that are more accommodating or just less focused on seafood?
