This was a big disappointment. This was recommended to us by a friend whose son is a gourmet chef. Normally his recommendations are great, but this one was a huge let down. Not once, on even one item did we go “wow” you’ve got to taste this. On the good side, the wine list is very good and the bar... more

My wife and I dined here before we went to a show. We arrived early, probably 5:30 pm, and there was only one other table with guests. Naturally the service was great because the place was empty. The wine was good. The food was great. The price was reasonable. It cost my wife and I $180 for an appetizer, 2... more

I was very disappointed with the food at Blackbird. We only enjoyed one aspect of the meal, the taleggio cheese salad with smoked morels. The rest was terrible.

The pork belly was overcooked,... more

We live in Chicago and this restaurant was recommend by friends and did not disappoint. The food was great, wine outstanding, not cheap, but fairly priced. Do not bring the kids, but great for an anniversary or special occasion since it is a bit expensive. more

Location is a little out of the way if you are a tourist, as I was. Food was mediocre. Food sounds better on the menu than it tasted. We had drinks at Sepia (awesome) around the block and thought the atmosphere there was better as well. We didn't try the food though. Not sure what all the hype is about... more
