   Wonderful hospitality, lead my weight staff, who made us feel as though we were in the home of a gracious relative. Food was amazing, beautifully presented was very interesting flavor profiles. Only slight constructive comment relates to the timing of the main courses. Two arrived, and we had to wait several minutes for the other two dishes to be on the table. Would have been nice to have all four arrive at the same time. Other than that a beautiful evening.

   Loved the ambiance, food very good, careful preparation to detail, quite expensive but high quality. Great if you need a city place you can hear each other and relax. Prices have gone up everywhere.

   Best food I’ve had in a while, I’m a frequent Chicago foodie and I’d come here every night if the budget allows. I’m considering buying a condo in Chicago so I am closer.

   Great service! Our server was awesome. Food was good nothing that I would fly in for but good none the less. Wish the servings were more generous. Authentic French in my opinion. Ordered the duck and it was well cook and seasoned. Hubby had the steak and enjoyed it.

    This became one of our favorite places to dine the first time we came to Chicago this past spring, and we have eaten here every time we have been back including this past weekend. Michael and Carrie have a very special place!!! Michael is so helpful with wine selection and Carrie and her kitchen send out some of the best food in the city. Evan and Eno always make sure we are so well taken care of. Evans’s smile alone is worth the trip!!! The food was again quite spectacular and we chose oysters, duck liver pâté, halibut, and quail. GO. JUST GO. You’ll be glad you did. We’re headed back in 2 weeks (and we live a 1000 miles away).

    Cozy restaurant with Modern French cuisine. We started with the duck fat rolls, oysters, foie gras. All delicious. The duck and ribeye were perfect. The chocolate dessert and warm madeleines were a perfect ending. Great service and experience. Would definitely dine again.

    This from a professional chef and her world-travelled foodie husband...Brindille was a real disappointment. The tarte tatin and halibut dishes were ok, not amazing and the pate and duck breast dishes were both seriously under seasoned and lacking in flavor. All 4 dishes were at room temperature by the time they made it to our table. Add the oppressively dark atmosphere and inattentive service and what was supposed to be an exciting eating experience for us as new Chicagoans, ended up a big, expensive fail. Never again.

    My favorite French restaurant, Les Nomades, was closed during my brief visit to Chicago. I have never been to Brindille before last night. Much to my surprise, this was one of my best dining experiences in Chicago in a very long time. Starting with a perfectly mixed Negroni on a large cube of ice, everything just got better. I started with a potato and onion tart which was quickly flowed by a seared double foie gras with fresh fig. The Captain provided a lovely Sauterne. For the main course, a perfectly pan seared duck breast on a bed of beluga lentils. All this was paired with a 2018 Charmes -Chambertain. To end the evening, and polish of the remaining wine, I had their cheese course. 18 different cheese samples, 3 domestic and 15 French. Epoisses was the only missing cheese. It reminded me of Monty Python’s “Cheese Shop” but with cheese. Nice job to the phenomenal staff and owners.

    Not what we've experienced previously. "Out" of half the entrees and a huge time gap between first and second courses suggests that the kitchen staff is not up to the job on a Saturday night. Sad.

    We loved the food but the service clearly showed understaffing. Food took longer than expected for this level of restaurant. When we made a comment to waiter, he dismissed us saying “this is not fast food, for sure!”

    Brindille was an absolute joy, more so because I “stumbled” across it last minute looking for a 7 pm dinner reservation for Friday. The food was true “high dining” caliber without the stress of high dining and the service, while attentive, was not overbearing as can happen sometimes with high dining. Incredible food without pretense, strongly leaning on France and Parisian roots. The cheese course should NOT be missed. It satisfied a table of 4 and was the perfect way to end the mean. It is now on my short list when I am back in Chicago…possibly at the top because of its great location near where I’m usually staying when in town.
