Great service. So so food for the price, but be mindful they charge $11 dollars per small bottle of sparkling water. Our group totally oblivious to this fact ended up with $66 bill for water. That completely killed our experience. Make sure you well hydrated before you go there:) read more

We love a good tasting menu, and the Alsace Lorraine-inspired one we had was enjoyable. For $100, plus $45 or so for alcohol pairings, it's a bit too spendy for what you get. We started with charcuterie and pastries -- plenty of everyone, including cured ham, salami, cornichons, pickled onions, caraway pretzel, mini quiche lorraine (which were the star of the first course). Then we all went for the French kiss oysters, which had a dollop of sweet sorbet and smoky roe atop them. Interesting and tasty combo. We then were served an onion tarte (pretty good) or scallops, which were everyone's favorites. This was followed by the venison course (we all got this as well). It was a delicious medley of meat and vegetables that was a highlight of the meal. Finally, we had dessert dishes, which were quite tasty. The seasonal punch was delicious, but $14 a glass. The service was stellar, with our waiter being sure to inform us about our beer or wine pairings, and about the dishes. The atmosphere is semi-formal, chic, understated with cool light fixtures and dominated by large artwork of trees ("brindille" means twig in French). As I said, you'll get a good meal here that doesn't quite veer into ecstasy -- which means you'll spend more than you should. read more

Brindille - The French Kiss oysters with sorbet and smoked roe - French Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'll start with the good: The food And now to the bad: Everything else. I had been wanting to dine here for some time and decided to finally make a reservation for my birthday. I have never been able to choose which table I wanted to sit at on a Friday night in Chicago, but then again we were 1 of 5 tables in the restaurant the entire evening. When we sat down, the waiter poured water directly into my lap which I was able to overlook at the time but that was just the beginning of the poor service our waiter, Adam, would provide us that evening. We decided to order the 8 course tasting menu with wine pairings because it was a special occasion, it was definitely too much food and I wish it had been explained to us better. Most of the dishes were outstanding but because each dish was a full sized portion and not a tasting size, it was overwhelming and we were unable to enjoy the final dishes of the night. It was a long evening of slow service, poor explanation of each dish, poured wine with no interest in telling us what was being poured, etc. The grand finale of the evening was when Adam brought out the truffles with our check and a piece of white chocolate that said Happy Birthday on it. He put it right in the middle of the table because he hadn't even bothered to ask whose Birthday it was. Such a disappointment on a very expensive evening. read more

We really enjoyed the 5 course chef's tasting experience here! Our waitress Karine was so knowledgeable and created a fun atmosphere to enjoy very unique and delicious food. Our favorite was the duck entree. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. What we loved was that it was also a nice place to have a dinner where we could converse and could easily hear one another talk. Highly recommended, but it's not a jeans kind of place ~ nice place for a nice night out! read more

Brindille - Desert was delicious...had them hold the marmalade as I don't like how chefs sometimes "mess up" good chocolate with fruit - French Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. and the service was superb. I would definitely go here again. one warning: this place is very expensive. (but unlike most high-ticket restaurants, Brindille warrants the price). read more

Went here on Bastille Day with a couple foodie friends and we had a wonderful experience. It was definitely a little on the pricey side for what I spend on dinner but we treated ourselves and it was definitely delicious. We started with the veal sweetbreads and steak tartare for our appetizers. The veal sweetbread was very good and it was my first time having rabbit! My friends had most of the steak tartare as that's not really my thing but I did try a bit and it was surprisingly yummy. For my main course I had the Rib of Beef (the 2nd priciest thing on the menu) but I wouldn't have traded it for anything! It was so good and a really good sized portion as well. We had to do dessert of course and I had the Fantaisie au Chocolat because I am a chocolate fiend. Once again, did not disappoint! It was a very enjoyable dining experience, just a little on the pricey side. Great for special occassions! read more

Only one third full and not sure why. French food popularity? Pricey? The food from beginning to end was excellent. It exceeded expectations. Service was very good too. read more

Upscale but homey french place. Most delicious thing was the potato beignets amuse bouche. We also loved the two starters, polenta and pork belly. My rack of lamb was good, but I'd get something else next time. She wasn't a big fan of her lobster salad. They had a really interesting tea selection. read more

Very disappointing. Almost everything was good, but not great. Little or nothing was up to expectations as set by reputation, menu and prices. This is a very ambitious and pricey restaurant (more than $100 per person) so our expectations were high. One of our party was a strict vegetarian but the staff was unwilling to work creatively and flexibly with him. Another's order was completely missing and forgotten when the main dishes were brought to the table. She had to wait until everyone else had finished before she got her lobster, and it was tough. Two orders of steak were undercooked and cold. And we ate early, so the restaurant was not even busy! read more

Save your money. I'm so sad to write this review. I looked forward for months to this special night with my kids for Mother's Day weekend. We arrived and it was cold and rainy but the staff would not open the doors to let us wait inside. When they finally opened the doors we were not greeted but instead scolded by the hostess - "We don't open til 530". With that sort of non welcome the prospect of spending several hundred dollars for five people turned my stomach. So we left and found GT Oyster nearby and had a wonderful meal there instead. Save your money and don't go here. In today's world with plenty of choices service truly matters. Brindille you failed miserably. read more

Highly recommend for restaurant week! Great deal. Everything from the coat check to getting the check was delightful. Creative, upscale options in a cozy atmosphere. The staff was very helpful, professional and funny, especially the bartender, Ryan. Sit at the bar of you go! read more

Underwhelming. I had pretty high expectations. We had the full tasting menu. The food seemed to be rather uninspired. I replaced the desert with a cheese tray that i thought was the highlight o the dinner. The service was mostly on point other than the water glasses being empty a couple of times. They were very accommodating doing a half glass wine pairing for my wife. read more

We were a separate party experiencing the May 11 refusal by staff to open even the outer door, for what ended up to be nine of us, not one second sooner than their claimed 5:30 opening time. (5:00 on their site.) The utter lack of warmth and regret by staff upon finally allowing us to enter was truly remarkable. Nevertheless we stayed. Food was carefully prepared and attractively presented but not especially flavorful aside from more salt than we prefer. Dining room is not conversation friendly. Restroom door is in path of servers. Server Corrine was barely cordial, loud and, in pointing out a few favorites on each menu, ended up pretty much reviewing the whole listing. An unhelpful interruption. All in all not the special experience that we hoped for. read more

This place is overpriced, the food is terrible , the service is unfriendly and they have now idea how to treat a customer that pays $49 on an entree. Don't go here. It's another one of those rip off places. Bad, bad, bad This place is overpriced, the food is terrible, the service is unfriendly and they have now idea how to treat a customer that pays $49 on an entree. Don't go here. It's another one of those rip off places. Bad, bad, bad So as we wanted to leave the restaurant the manager came over to us to tell that he saw our Yelp review, which we posted after receiving our check. He complained that we didn't give them a chance to make it better. Sorry but was too late. And now here is the best. The flamboyant manager started arguing with us and calling me the boy friend of my wife of 10 years. He started insulting me, that I had a t-shirt on, instead of apologizing for the bad food. We go to restaurants nearly weekly and have never experienced anything like that. So if you want to spend a lot of money on bad food and bad service and get insulted at the same time, this is the place to go. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful meal at Brindille last evening. The seafood appetizers (shrimp and oysters) were very fresh and creatively garnished, and the entrecôte of beef was beautifully cooked, tender and flavorful. French burgundy was a wonderful accompaniment. Our server was highly efficient, and very pleasant to chat with. We had a delightful evening. read more

Walked out before we were even seated :( Arrived a few minutes before our 5:30pm reservation (hours say 5pm) and it was raining out. The doors were locked and they wouldn't let us in. Finally we were greeted by a hostess wearing a moschino belt, not with a "hello, welcome.", but with a "we don't open until 5:30". No service or professionalism there! Didn't see the point in giving those people our money. read more

Really fell short for us. Service was absolutely sub par. No one ever asked for refills of cocktails or wine. And food was ok at best. Wouldn't recommend to friends. read more

Sophisticated, modern, elegant. Oysters were fantastic. I could of had a dozen on my own. I'm craving them right now as i write this review. I unfortunately wasn't as wow'd by the King crab appetizer, monkfish and guinea hen They were good but perhaps my expectations were too high. I'd like to return and try some other things on the menu .....and hopefully get those oysters again read more

I had a birthday dinner with my b'friend and it was supposed to be great. However, we are greatly disappointed about the food. We had three appetizers, a glass of wine for each, two main dishes, and one dessert. Appetizer : Foie gras: rich and tender, which was good. I liked it and the berry sauce on it. Wine with Foie gras: Great. We asked the waiter to recommend a wine which gets along with Foie gras. We got glasses of the white wine which he recommended us, and I cannot remember the name. Hand-cut noodle: dry and stuck each other. It seemed it was made an hours ago. When I forked it, the whole chunk of the noodles are hung up at the tip of my fork. The flavor of truffle was almost indistinguishable. Instead, they put a lot of Chanterelles mushrooms which are much cheaper. I chew a chestnut which was very hard seemingly under-cooked. I wish I liked this noodle since I saw the pictures of the dish which looks very juicy and rich, and the pic made me decide to go there. Oyster: After trying two appetizers, we were dubious on our taste at that time. Yes, we admit that we have not experienced French dining that much. But, we love oyster, so we can tell. We tried the Oyster. The result was disappointing again. Oyster was not fresh and a bit smelly. I could not understand why such a fine dining restaurant could not keep the materials fresh. Also the balance with the creme on it was ... what we disliked. The creme and oyster played separately. Main dishes: Duck breast: Duck breast was good. The juice of the meat was bare (I ordered it as medium), cooked okay, but sauce made it good. The lentil with sauce spread below the meat get along with the meat very well. I don't know what the sauce on the side of the plate, but it was also made me enjoy a dynamic flavor of the dish. However, the Config Leg Ballotine on the side was smelly again. They could not remove it. Lobsters: I liked it. The texture was great. It was cooked amazingly. However, my b'fried did not like some piece of the vegi on the sauce (I did not figure out what it was). It undermine the flavor some degree. Desert Bittersweet Chocolate Delice with Black Tea, Citrus Marmalade and Salted Caramel Ice Cream : Wrong choice. Don't eat this... Nothing but sweet, cheap flavor. Or we were too full, maybe. Service: The waiter was okay, but I wonder if he was really qualified to take the gratuity we put. He chose the right wine. Otherwise, he did nothing. He did not give any information about the dish which is coming or about the time it would be served. Rather, the guy, seemingly a Latino, who did the chores like filled our water cups, took the empty dishes and brought the new dishes, are much worth to take it. The price was above $300 including the tax and gratuity. We were willing to pay that amount of money if it had been worth. However, our conclusion is that it is overpriced as compared to its value of the food and the service or other restaurants. At the night before, we already had another fine dining at the other restaurant which was local and not very famous chef operating. We liked there much more. I cannot believe the high rating for the Brindille on the Yelp anymore. read more

Stumbled across Brindille last night, located @ 534 N. Clark and was knocked off my feet! Do yourself a favor and run, don't walk to Chicago's newest, (just open last Friday) smart, sexxy, sophisticated restaurant before the word gets out because once it does; Brindille will become the toughest ticket in town. read more

As a huge fan of Naha - it's my favorite restaurant in Chicago - I am very excited that Carrie and Michael have opened a new concept and I was eager to check it out. My dining companion and I ate dinner early (6pm reservation) on a Sunday night. I'll start by saying the service was very good - I have no complaints about that. It was unrushed, very informative when asked to be, and very pleasant. It seems to me that with Brindille, Carrie may be aiming for 2-Michelin-star status, and I think the service component of that is on the right track. I think there's a little room for polish, but for the short length of time they've been open they're clearly doing the right things when it comes to service and I have no complaints at all about that. We started with the frog legs for him and for me the broccoli soup. I loved the soup - I think the soups at Naha are awesome and I"m glad to see that skillset made it here, too. The frog legs were nicely pan-fried. They came with a blanc-manger, which I guess they should be dipped in, because the legs themselves were only very lightly seasoned. For the main course, we had the monkfish tail and the guinea fowl. My dining companion ate the monkfish tail and it was quite substantial, with a lot of good, meaty fish on the bones, and a lot of flavor with the vegetables that came with it. I had the guinea fowl based on the waiter's recommendation and, to be honest, it was quite disappointing. My biggest complaint was that it was on the cool side of room temperature. It wasn't exactly cold, and it didn't really help that the A/C system was blowing cool air directly from the ceiling onto our table, but it wasn't what I'd consider to be an ideal eating temperature. It also seemed like a bunch of unrelated items on a plate instead of a cohesive dish. The monkfish had a lot of things, too, but they all interacted well together - that wasn't the case with the guinea fowl. The cockcombs didn't seem to add anything. The morels were overpowered by the cooking liquid and quite acidic and just sopping, squishy things - not the more firm, mushroomy ones I enjoy. I would not order the guinea fowl again - for this level of dining it was, in my opinion, a disasterous dish. I know they can do better, and I'm confident they will, but this dish, as served to me, was a terrible showing. Finally, for dessert we had the Paris-Brest of strawberries, and the roasted pineapple. The strawberries were very nice - we both enjoyed those. The pineapple was ok, although I guess I expected it to be roasted further than it was. There weren't any of the complex caramel flavors I would expect seeing "roasted" in a description of a fruit dessert. It was nice, it just didn't live up to what I would consider its full potential. But, for all I know, that was the goal with the dish, to be lightly roasted and still have some of those fresh, brighter flavors pineapple brings to the table. All in all, I will almost certainly be back after a few months to see how things are progressing. The guinea fowl was a real disappointment, there were a couple other things I think will improve with time, but overall I was satisfied with the meal. My dining companion was not an experienced fine dining gourmand, and is always complaining he doesn't understand why people pay so much for fancy food. But he managed to enjoy himself, which I think speaks to the fine service we received and that most of the dishes were well-executed. read more

So let me get this correct .... You wore a T-shirt to Brindille? Classy! Portillo's is just down the street. How about Hard Rock? That's a good t-shirt place. Next time you go out for din din maybe you should check the fancy "internet machine" and find out what kind of place your going to. I've been to Brindille on a weekly basses for the last 3 months and have nothing but the best experience....like tonight when I was at the bar while you were walking out. I had to join Yelp because of your negative and inexperienced review. Thanks a lot read more

Generally when I spend this much money on dinner and drinks, I tend to think, "Wow, that was really worth the coin". Brindelle was good, no doubt, but I'm not sure it was really worth the price. The small plates/appetizers (particularly the carpaccio, foie) and the cocktails are a different story; delicious, rich, high quality and very inventive. A pretty room; really striking light fixtures. I felt our of place in jeans, so be forewarned. read more

This was my second visit to Brindille. Outstanding. I've read some of the negative reviews on here, and I must say that my experience both times was entirely positive. Some specifics: Best cocktails I've had in a long time. Both times I got the eight course tasting menu. Each course had a startling, distinctive component. From the oyster with a most effective use of anise in the liquor, to noodles that were cooked to the perfect texture, to the beautiful smoked flavor of the pork belly, to sea bass with an eggplant puree that was brightly flavored, to a passion fruit ice cream whose flavor shouted to the rafters, the meal was excellent. The service was attentive, friendly, and helpful. My waitress for the evening was a lovely woman named Ariselli (sp?) who was warm, welcoming, and pleasant. Since I didn't know what the courses would consist of, I asked them to choose wines for each course, and each was excellent. My only regret was not having my wife there to share the wonderful meal and atmosphere with me. Thank you to the team at Brindille for a memorable food experience! read more

This place was perfect. 3rd time here, and the server Evan is amazing. Every time he makes us feel welcome, and very pleasant. The food here is consistently good. The ambiance is great. Definitely come here. read more

really enjoyed the dishes at brindille. we went in thinking we were only gonna do an app and an entree, then we saw the 8 course tasting menu and the selections, and decided on that instead. money saving FAIL.. but, it was worth it. 8 courses for $150... 1 - french kiss oyster, leeks, caviar - not the same as oysters & pearls although similar ingredients. i think the sauce was overpowering the flavors of the oyster sadly - it was a LOT of sauce 2 - steak tartare was good - beef had good flavor. i thought the crostini was a bit odd shaped, and too hard. plating was a bit weird.. 3 - pumpkin soup. this was deeelicious. so luscious and creamy. i can drink a gallon of this. 4 - hand cut noodles with snails - very interesting combination! snails were cooked nicely and good chewiness. 5 - lobster brindille - namesake dish? i was a fan. perfectly cooked lobster in a perfectly complementary sauce. 6 - duck breast with foie gras with lentils and fig configure - duck was nicely done, as was the foie. i didnt understand what the lentils brought to the dish. 7 - rack of lamb - i could eat 8 more of these. perfect doneness and flavor, garlic confit was great. 8 - warm clafoutis with creme chantilly - you dont see chantilly a lot these days anymore! this was a delight. warm with huckleberries baked in. yum.. my friend doesnt eat berries usually, so they gave her a chocolate mousse dessert. how nice! overall i think brindille was pretty awesome. much better than my experience at naha, but that was years and years ago. a few things brindille could have done better though: 1. it was pretty effing loud for a nice french restaurant 2. more servers so that the dishes could be presented and set down at exactly the same time for the table. i reallllyy like that touch. 3. as they flip the tables and re-do the settings, they iron the table cloths in the dining room when there are diners there! ive never really seen that before. i feel like there has to be a better way of making sure the table cloths are taken care of without diners seeing irons... other than that - attentive service, and the kitchen is very accommodating of my friend's weird dietary 'restrictions...' read more

See all

Food, service, and ambiance are on par. The lobster brindille is amazing and I also recommend the steak tartare for an appetizer. I would pick the cherry option for dessert (forgot the full name). The food is very well done and the portions are the right size if you want a 3-course meal. I can't wait to go back and try the other menu items! read more

Lovely anniversary dinner - each dish offers an artist's palette of tastes. Scallops, veal sweetbreads, and medallion of venison leg all rich, full of flavor, and intricate embellishments. I would not recommend the Pear Mille Feuille, but the mignardise absolutely made up for an otherwise unexciting sweet finish. And on Michael Aram dinnerware! read more

Everything about Brindille is great. When you walk in you're pleasantly greeted and the space is beautiful!! We were all commenting on how stunning it is in there. Except the butter knives were confused for sharks. LOL! Our server could take over for Morgan Freedman for narrating things. His descriptions of the dishes, wines and cocktails were wonderful. And he wasn't like some servers who say everything is great. We were definitely directed to order one thing over another. I think he maybe Carrie's cousin? Anyhow. We were having a wonderful time. The bread and butter could have been enough. I was super happy with that butter!! I want it every day for the rest of my life. There were 4 of us so we shared 2 starters. The crab dish and the asparagus dish. WOW. The four of us were inhaling it. The crab is warm and buttery and they do not skimp on the black truffles. It was like a truffle parade went by!! If you're having a bad day stop by and get this dish. Its a warm hug. The asparagus was also outstanding. The mushrooms were meaty and hearty. I like the fried squash blossoms and that duck egg! Creamy and yummy. Oh yeah and the asparagus was nicely cooked. Again I could have stopped there. But we didn't. I tried the signature dish - Lobster Brindille. It was just ok for me. It wasn't hot and the lobster was a little tough in some places. My boyfriend got the rib of prime beef and WOW - he said it melted. If he could he'd break up with me and date that dish. Its the #1 dish for him in Chicago. My friend tried the duck and she loved it. Another great sauce. And my other friend got the guinea hen which he enjoyed very much. Then we went on to dessert. The list for bourbons is not impressive but they had some interesting options. I tried one from CA that I thought was ok. My boyfriend tried the angel's share which I thought was too cinnamony for me. The chocolate cake-ish dessert was fun to look at, fun to eat and SO GOOD. It was like the starters all over again where we were grabbing for every bite. Yum!! Then we waited for the cherry dish which came out like a souffle. It was just ok - it probably paled in comparison to that first dessert. This was a wonderful meal and we had a memorable time. I look forward to checking them out again as the seasons change. read more

I've had the pleasure of eating at many fine restaurants across the world, but this one is easily in my top 3 places I've ever been. I took a client here because I wanted to avoid the cliched steak dinner, and this was more of an experience than a dinner. 1) The service: our server was incredible. He provided the perfect amount of checking in, his knowledge of the food and how it was prepared was incredible, and to top it off he was humorous without being ridiculous. In other words he was the perfect blend of what you want. 2) The food: First and foremost order the foie gras. That was the best part of the meal. Everything else was terrific, but the foie was just sooooooooo good (I know, super expressive right). The menu is of course French so if you're not too familiar fear not and ask your server's opinion on what to order and they'll help guide you. 3) The dessert: Order the Mont Blanc AND the Dark Chocolate Entrement. Yes order both. Seriously do it, and then come back and thank me. 4) Cocktails: well we had Moscow Mules and I gotta be honest. Best one I ever had. read more

We like to "graze" around town and get appetizers/small plates at the bar at a few places on a nice evening. When one of our favorites was already too crowded at 6:30 we aimed for the new Brindille. We never moved on. Chatted with bartender Steve and enjoyed a quick talk with Carrie N! We are fans of Naha and she has outdone herself here. Best Steak Tartare ever. Fois Gras, crab and sweetbreads made for an incredible meal. read more

Flat out excellent restaurant. The interior is understated but expressive. The service is prompt and friendly. The food is truly creative, taking French cuisine to new places. Of course the meats were excellent - we had lobster and duck - but the vegetable sides were exceptional. The vegetables had as much flavor and creativity as anywhere else I've dined. read more

After looking forward to the Nahabedian's new restaurant, we were both thrilled with the food but, disappointed in the service. The starters, oysters in a marvelous eggy sauce with osetra caviar and the asparagus, were excellent. I coul have eaten a dozen of the oysters. The main courses, French turbot and duck with fois gras, were outstanding in presentation, flavor and complexity. Our waiter was kind and tried to be informative. But, he is definitely in need of some help with his communication skills. Five minutes of superlatives does not neccesarily describe an entree, starter or dessert. He proved to be more of a distraction than a help. Also, clearly no one was paying attention to our dining pace. After waiting for some time for the starter, the entree then arrived within 2 minutes of us finishing the first course. No time to rest, enjoy a glass of wine, etc. Not what I am used to in a restaurant of this class. We'll wait awhile to return as we have confidence that the food will still be top-tier and the service will have improved. Perhaps that is why the restaurant was only half full on a beautiful Friday night in Chicago! read more

Brindille is not a CLASSY restaurant, is a SNOB restaurant. So if you want a Snob restaurant this is your best shot, instead if you would like a classy, modern or cool restaurant you have a really big list of options in Chicago, do not waste your time and ruin your night in this one. Our experience was really disappointing. After living 5 years in Chicago I have never experience something like that. I do not know yet how a restaurant that pretends to be a high level restaurant in the Chicago scenario can have a waiter like the one that was attending our table. The waiter was pretentious and I think he prejudged us as a young couple of tourists having dinner in a Chicago fancy restaurant as we are not Americans and of course my accent betray me. The young couple tourist thing was not the case but if it was, what was the problem with that? As I say before pure snobbism 100%. I have been in several good restaurants (I love gastronomy) around the world London, Paris, Tokyo, New York etc... and it is difficult to me to remember one situation like the one that we had last night. The point of the night was when I pay the check in cash. The Bill was $238, so I thought to give $40 tip. However, I needed change so I gave him $260, and suddenly happen. The waiter came back to our table and with all his snobbism told me "you have left $260 and this is less than 20% tip so do you really would like change?" I was astonished! You are in this moment that you are thinking, seriously is this really happening? Then my reaction was to answer, "I know and I need the change". At the next moment he came back with the $22 change. 2x $1 and again $20! (are you kidding me?). I told him again: "The point of this is that I need change for the $20". And then he came with 2x$10. At the end I left the $40 tip that I thought at first because I considered fair. End of the history, I hope that was worthy for the waiter because they are going to loose a client forever, of course I am never going to come back. The most upsetting part is that this ruined a lovely night with my wife trying to enjoy a hypothetical good restaurant. I can't imagine the dozen of really good restaurants in Chicago where I could happily have expended the $280 for a great dinner experience with my wife. read more

I ate here last month and I must commend the wait staff and owners for their dedication to service. That, along with the excellent food, made for a memorable night. One I was able to recollect even tonight. read more

Excellent experience all around. Food was very good and presentation was perfect. Had the price fixed menu with wine pairing. Best way to sample a variety of dishes. read more

We came here for my boyfriend's birthday! Definitely try their oysters with caviar- probably best oysters I've eaten. Their lamb chops are also so good! And the service is excellent, ask the waiter and they would recommend a really good wine pairing with your dishes. Really glad I discovered this place. The food is really authentic French and quite unique with chef's creative touch read more

Incredible from beginning to end. My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and we got the 8 course tasting menu. Simply amazing. I've eaten all Europe and at several Michelin rated restaurants. This was a top par experience. The service was remarkable. We had the pumpkin soup with truffles ( I could have eaten another bowl), scallops, steak Tatar, the sweetbreads, duck with foi gras, lobster, lamb, and wonderful creme brûlée profiteroles. Everything was top notch. Wonderful. read more

Brindille exceeded all expectations!!!! I was expecting a typical French experience, but it blew me away. I ordered the rib eye not expecting a steak house level steak, but that's what I got a truly delicious steak. Flavorful and cooked to perfection, and not a little portion. The service is spectacular. I asked for the waiter to pair all of my drinks and they did so perfectly. If I could say something bad it was the lack of space to wait for my table the bar area was full of diners. Yes it was expensive we spent about $300, but I would rather spend $300 here than spend $150 somewhere else and get a lack luster meal... read more
