We enjoyed visiting Brindille since it was opened. Coming from the Four Seasons in LA and Naha, the Brindille team has definitely created some of the best French dishes (with a spin) in the past and present. The importance of creative French cuisines is the balance of the flavors from fresh ingredients and yes the sauces. Everything I have had here, were made perfectly with care. It is difficult to describe all of my experiences here so you will just have to try it yourself. But you won’t regret it that is fo sure.

I honestly didn’t have any expectations coming here. I was a bit skeptical at first but once the food was served, it became very apparent that I’d be dining at Brindille again, in the near future. First and foremost, I would’ve never guessed that such a wonderful place was so close to me. I’ve been searching for a decent French restaurant for a while. Boka’s new venture was quite a big let-down and I’ve been needing to recoup myself after that experience. I don’t know whether or not their menu rotates, but if it does, their current menu is delicious and I’d gladly go back to try it seasonally. First off, the Ramequin of Foie Gras Royale. If I could, I would order this 10x and have that be my entire meal. It was definitely one of my favorite items. The next dish that is a definite reorder, if available, would be the Brindille Tarte Tatin. My only qualm with that item is the size. I wish it was larger so I could’ve had more of it. Another dish that was small but packed a lot of flavor was their Seared Foie Gras and Apple Brioche Bread Pudding. In hindsight, my party (four adults) should’ve ordered two of those to share; however, that’s just my opinion. The Salade Lyonnaise of Pork Belly, Coddled Duck Egg and Crisp Brussels Sprouts wasn’t great, just good. The dish could have used a bit more pork belly, but that’s the inner carnivore in me speaking. Overall, the salad was well balanced. As for entrees, three out of the four stayed with me, one, not so much. Let’s start with the good first. Firstly, the Whole European Dover Sole Meuniere. It was paired with some pasta (could’ve had a slightly larger serving size) and four fillets. Secondly, the Lacquered Aged Moulard Duck Breast a l’Orange and a Confit of Belgian Endive. Truthfully speaking, if a French restaurant has duck l’orange, it’ll be my first go-to entree to order, in order to test whether or not they’re up to par. Needless to say, Brindille stepped up to the challenge and knocked it out of the ballpark, 10/10 on the duck. Their third entree that deserves a great review would be the Medallions of Ranch Venison. Although not the most photogenic of dishes, it was delicious nevertheless. Don’t let the bland color scheme fool you. Everything on the plate worked harmoniously in my mouth and was wonderful. Unfortunately, the fourth and final entree, their Braised Lamb Shank wasn’t anything to write home about. I’m not saying it wasn’t good, but it reminded me of a pot roast that. Don’t get me wrong, the lamb was very tender and melted in my mouth; however, flavor profile wise, it didn’t leave a very big impression on me. They offer tasting menus, 5 course/8 course at $155/$205. I’m not sure what the portion sizes are for the tasting menu, but if it’s full sized portions from their a la carte, it’d be well worth it.

Went for the Valentine’s Day tea…the table was wobbly and we had to move the table to get in and out of the booth. The tea presentation wasn’t aesthetically pleasing and quite mismatched. The mushroom soup literally tasted like very strong ground up mushrooms. The only good food was the tea and the crumpet that they brought out. Desserts weren’t even that good. The tea sandwiches were soggy and tasteless. Overall a pretty disappointing service for $130 per person. It was probably worth more like $35. I’m quite disappointed with the experience and won’t be going back.

Great restaurant but be ready for a long wait and a little bit overpriced. Both my husband and I love the restaurant. The atmosphere was great, the food was really good and the staff was professional and polite But we would both complain about the timing. We had a reservation on Saturday at 7:30 pm we were seated at 8:00. Since we were hungry we orders appetizers and a main course in the first 10 minutes, but our food was served to us TWO hours later. Appetizers appeared at 9:00 and dinner at 10:00 pm. We were not ready for that.

Came here for restaurant week and the menu looks not bad. The food is overall tasty but little amount as it’s French, you know. 59 dollars to get three courses is a good deal. Appetizer is the oyster, flavorful spice with some smoke taste covered the stinky of oyster. Entree is the sirloin steak, medium rare is good for this one, the sauce is meaty flavor and works pretty well with the steak itself and the potatoes. Dessert is the oeuf, concept is cool, ice cream with citrus fruit is a combination of sweet and sour plus a balance of bitterness in there. Next time I will try their claufotis.

We went for the Valentines tea. Food was mediocre. Tea was mediocre. Cocktails were great, service was disappointing. very stuck up for some reason. The workers’ focus was mainly on a group of their friends. You could tell that they knew the owner, and all of the wait staff only paid attention to them, and gave them special treatment, whilst ignoring us. Price was ridiculous for the service and food that we received.($150 per person after drinks) We wouldn’t recommend teatime. May return in the future to experience their dinner menu, but will not return for, or recommend their tea menu.

I enjoyed coming to Brindille! The French cuisine is exquisite, second to none for the great City of Chicago. What stood out to me between the service, the ambiance, the food and custom wine list they offered. Brindille brought back romance to the fine dining scene. It was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of restaurants that have become too often the same menu of food, but at different locations. It was pleasing to be in a location where it felt romantic to go out and dine. It wasn’t a transactional, it was a relationship, where Michael and his amazing staff, Shane and Tiffany got to know you and brought you in like family. You made long lasting memories. As someone who is used to Chicago dining, this has become my new number 1 recommendation to have an intimate wholesome evening experience. My compliments to Chef Carrie for the delicious artwork of food that came out. It would make Van Gogh scrap “Cypresses” and paint Carries food and call it “Luscious!” Lastly, the Bordeaux was delightful.

Wine is pretty good at this place. A cute restaurant. Food and service are ok. The quality does not meet the expectations and the price points
