In December 2012, Singh opened The Boarding House, a wine-driven concept in the River North neighborhood. The four-story restaurant received national attention from "Forbes Travel Guide" (Top 40 Tastemakers), "Food & Wine" (Sommeliers of the Year), "Market Watch", "Sommelier Journal", "Restaurant Hospitality", "Midwest Living" and others. Additional accolades include "100 Best Wine Restaurants" ("Wine Enthusiast"), "Pastry Chefs to Watch" ("Time Out Chicago"), "2013 Best New Restaurants" ("Chicago Magazine"), and nominations for best restaurant design from the Eater Awards and Jean Banchet Awards. Singh closed out the restaurant’s first successful year with an all-female culinary and beverage team, and the honor of Sommelier of the Year 2013 Wine Star award from "Wine Enthusiast".
