Brasero was a 10/10, no notes. Everything—from the lighting and decor to the music and super friendly staff—was just right. I don’t want to overhype it, but it was kind of perfect. Loved every single dish, and the Restaurant Week menu was such a great deal. We added half portions of all the sides, and even those were delicious. The bite that stole the show for me? The coconut ice cream at the end, which is wild to say considering we also had amazing sliders, fried chicken, oysters, salmon, and short rib. This spot is absolutely worth checking out!
What an experience. From the point of entry, until the end of my visit. Arrived early to see the staff preparing for the night of dining. Toured the space, which is trendy and upscale. I order Yellowfin Tuna Crudo, Grilled Oysters, Pan Seared Salmon, and Chocolate Budino. Everything was flavorful. The sauce/vinaigrette of the Tuna complemented well. The slight heat and crumble of the Oysters was different, however delicious. The potato like puree elevated the herb flavored salmon. I ordered an Extended Stay, Fernandito, and Batido cocktails. After each, I transported to an island. I really enjoyed the melon flavored Extended Stay. The latter 2 cocktails were rum based and devious as well. Finally server, Erika, was great. Her customer service was exceptional. Erica explained where needed, displayed patience, and was timely with check-in.
We ordered almost the whole menu! So worth it! Everything was cooked to perfection and exquisitely flavored. Ericka provided world-class service at the table, and before being seated, we loved our visit with Dan at the bar.
This place was such a surprise. The unassuming entrance really masks the amazing place this is! The ambiance is cozy, upscale, and inviting. We were celebrating my wife's birthday, and our group was upgraded to the chef's table. The food was unbelievable. Our group sampled a number of dishes, and it might as well have been tapas because we all sampled each others'. Then we discussed what we would order next time. I'm looking forward to next time! The staff were top notch as well, as the attention to detail from the front of the house and the kitchen were obvious and evident. I almost feel like I'm gushing, but I honestly can not say enough good things.
Food was delicious! Our party had the pao de queijo, grilled broccolini, ramen, branzino, pork shank, wagyu, a few cocktails and desserts. Each dish was very tasty, but the pao de queijo and branzino are a must try!! Our server, Autumn, was so kind and accommodating with our party’s allergens. Autumn went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience! We were celebrating two birthdays, and Autumn made our visit very special! Can’t wait to come back again :)
I went here for happy hour with a bunch of friends and it was a great time. The atmosphere and the ambience was next level. We also thoroughly enjoyed our food. Obviously, this place is a bit more expensive, which is why I recommend to go during happy hour to really maximize your spending power
I’ve been wanting to try this place for some time & decided to come in at the end of restaurant week. The food did not disappoint! Everything was very tasty and it was nice that they had some items from the regular dinner menu and some other specials for their restaurant week menu. Loved the salmon & Brazilian fried chicken! Really nice atmosphere in the dining room. The only downside in my opinion was that the service could have been a little more attentive throughout the meal to check in and see if we wanted another drink etc. I also felt a little rushed to pay the bill and leave even though we’d only been sat for an hour and 15 minutes and I was hoping to order a drink with dessert. We came in on a Saturday night and they were busy so it’s possible they were having an off-day. Overall, a good experience and would recommend coming in for a nice dinner! I think this place would be perfect for a date night or girls night.
Everything was a delight. So many good flavors. The picanha steak was amazing. Prawns were great. Passion fruit dessert was so good. Our server was Erika, and her and her team were very attentive. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Chicago.
