Congratulations to latest James Beard Best Chef Great Lakes winner !! This 20 seat, plated in the round, fine dining restaurant is very fruit and veg forward this time of year and Chef Jacob and staff creatively highlight these flavors in novel ways that are really exciting. Some of the best asparagus and peas we've ever had ! Courses are often composed of 3 or more plates carrying various iterations of the featured ingredient. Everyone is served all at once and you are watching the almost assembly line production as it's happening. To drink with these dishes, there are a couple featured cocktails (Strawberry Manhattan and Seafood Martini on our night), a couple of wine pairing menus, wine by the glass, non /low alcohol selections as well. There were a few seated dessert courses (as well as a study of one cheese across 3 days cheese course) before heading out to the back patio fire pit for DIY s'mores! The dining room is comfortable , neutral in decor and minimally adorned with flowers in wall sconces on one side and 2 paintings on the other wall. The kitchen with live fire oven is the 3rd wall across from the entry. Everyone somehow was relaxed throughout the service, attentive and anticipatory of our needs (the thoughtfully provided SHOUT! stain remover wipes were needed more than once !) and the team approach resulted in the chance to interact with all these up and comers as well as Chef Jacob. It was a fun evening, food was outstanding, we are going back soon and you should too!

After just one visit, Feld has become one of my favorite restaurants in all of Chicago. The whole experience from start to finish was simply perfection. This is a restaurant where the kitchen is in the dining room (or is it the other way around?) and all the chefs are the ones serving and explaining each dish to you. It was really amazing getting to see how all the staff worked together seamless to make dinner service go smoothly, and I especially enjoyed seeing the dishes being prepared. Every course of the dinner was delicious for me, even the ones where I wasn't really sure if I'd like or not because of unfamiliar or disliked ingredients. The small size of each course (the first ones come out as single bites) really lets you try an extremely wide array of flavors and textures. Feld uses fresh ingredients that they source via relationships they've established, and you can really taste that. I got the alcoholic beverage pairing, and honestly every drink did enhance the flavors of the dishes. I know that this is a splurge meal, but I think I'll be back. Can't wait to see and taste what Chef Jacob and his team come up with next! Food: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 4.75/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.75/5

Great experience throughout! Staff was very attentive and friendly to talk to. The bites were very thoughtful and innovative. Even the non-alcoholic drink pairing was fairly well done! (my wife and I often find that places often treat non-alcoholic drink pairings as an afterthought) As with most fine dining places, there will be a few dishes that will not be up your alley due to taste preferences. Feld did well in this regard in that even the dishes that I didn't personally enjoy, I could still appreciate the depth of flavor and time that went into the prep and presentation. It was also a nice touch to be able to see the dishes being built in the island in front of you! The only drawback is the price point. Of the fine dining places we've been to in Chicago, this one is on the pricier side. That being said, would I do it again? For a special occasion, absolutely!

Feld is an important restaurant. Not just because the food is excellent (it is), but because Chef Jacob Potashnick and his team are trying to do something different -- to awaken diners to an experience that feels like a departure from everyday life. From the very first moment, it's clear this isn't your typical dinner out. You're welcomed with a table of beautiful, curious small plates -- It's not overwhelming, but it's a clear signal: you're about to go on a journey. That journey had many standouts. For me, everything with tomatoes was excellent-- the heirloom tomato with maple jus in particular. Both lamb courses (the lamb belly with celeriac and the 21-day dry-aged lamb with lemongrass) were beautifully executed and delicious. The albacore tuna with wasabi was another highlight -- pure, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The peach and poblano pairing showed how Feld can take simple seasonal produce and make it feel elevated and unexpected. What struck me most is how different Feld feels from a traditional fine dining experience. There's no bread, no pasta, no potatoes. Just dish after dish that celebrates fruits, vegetables, meats, and fish on their own terms. The dining room itself reinforces the departure from the everyday: tables along the sides, chefs plating in the center, staff moving like a ballet ensemble. On our night there were 12 diners and 8 staff, and it all felt seamless -- attentive, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic. Special kudos to Nathan, the restaurant director, who made the evening feel personal and welcoming. I also loved their low-ABV pairing. While my partner enjoyed a classic wine progression, I was treated to inventive beverages, each with its own personality. And just when we thought it was over, out came more desserts, and finally, an invitation outside to roast marshmallows by the fire pit -- a whimsical, communal ending to a meal already overflowing with creativity. Feld is not just a place to eat. It's an experience, a philosophy, and a celebration of food and seasonality. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. For me, it was one of the best meals I've ever had, and one I'll remember for a long time.

Brilliant and non-stuffy Michelin experience. One of the better tasting menus we've done, if not the best. Plenty of food, but nothing overwhelming. Our themed ingredients were asparagus and strawberries. Service great. Ambiance great. You get the full Michelin experience without feeling out of place if you are more casual. Will be back!

Finally made it to Feld. Was definitely turned off initially by some of the reviews I read, so decided to give them some time to find their footing and perhaps make some adjustments. I'm really glad I did. I had an outstanding meal there last week and I'd definitely like to return in the spring to see whats new. Service - 5 stars. Staff was great. Took their time explaining everything and were very knowledgeable. I liked that everyone touched our table at some point. Nothing felt pretentious and every one was welcoming and fun. My only issue was that sometimes it was a little hard to hear. It's not a big space and if multiple people are talking at once I occasionally missed what the person was saying. Vibe - 5 stars. I loved the space and enjoyed watching them cook and plate everything. I was a little worried about sitting next to my companion for the entire evening because I have some minor neck issues and was worried about having to have my neck turned for 3 hours of conversation, but it wasn't terrible. Food - 5 stars. There were a lot of dishes and I think they only really missed in one of them. The dry aged beef tongue was just a little too chewy for me. I really really enjoy the grilled scallop, the beef tartare, the feldpege egg and all of the acorn squash that was on the menu. They ended the meal taking us out back, not to whack us, but to let us make s'mores with the chef. Speaking of, he couldn't have been nicer. Drinks - 5 stars. The sommelier made a suggestion of a pinot noir from Oregon that went well with a lot of what we ate. We chose not to do the pairings because usually that's too much booze for me. I like also when they brought out their interesting alcohols and asked us if we wanted to try anything. We didn't, but I liked the option. I have a lot of higher end places I want to try in Chicago still, but I will for sure make another visit to Feld.

Comforting corn tea was a delicious amuse-bouche, and then 10 small courses hit the table at once, in the style of Korean banchan. Each course was great and the meal was thrilling right out of the gates. I enjoyed all of the courses, but the standout for me, that I can't stop thinking about, was the baby corn tempura, in which a whole immature ear of corn is tempura fried and dotted with basil aioli. This is one of my top three favorite courses I've eaten all year. The courses I loved were too numerous to name, but some favorites savories were Agedashi Eggplant with Oregon Wasabi, Buckwheat Gavotte with a squash blossom, Gargouillou-an homage to French chef Michel Bras, in which every seasonal vegetable ripe at once in a garden is individually cooked to perfection and dressed before being presented together in a symphony of colors, flavors and textures, and 21-Day Dry Aged Lamb. The parade of desserts seemed perfectly calibrated to my palate, as I don't care for desserts that are overly sweet or bready. My favorites were peach sorbet in a chilled tomato mint broth, beef tallow ice cream with parmesan and malt, a silky dark chocolate mousse, and fresh seasonal fruit on ice. I enjoyed the pairings, with my favorite being the 2017 Pra Amarone della Valpolicella, which was a showstopper with the lamb. Nathan Ducker did a brilliant job of explaining each pairing. He was fascinating and lovely to interact with. I'm looking forward to continuing to watch his star rise. After dessert we enjoyed 1-ounce pours of Laurent Cazottes Walnut Liqueur, and Nocino. I like to add them to sparkling water as an unsweetened bitters soda, which the team was happy to oblige. Each course was served in beautiful bespoke vessels, hot courses were served on warmed plates, cold courses served in cold dishes. The spoons with the dessert courses were chilled. Feld exemplifies thoughtfulness and attention to detail. My recommendation is that you make a reservation before next year, because Michelin would be foolish not to award them a star, and when that happens, it will be much more difficult to secure a reservation.

This is the next Michelin star restaurant in Chicago. The service was top notch, the ambience super warm and food inventive. It felt almost like dinner theater. Love the emphasis on what's in season and the pairings of unexpected flavors. Unlike anything in the Chicago food scene currently. Go if you can score a reservation!

This menu was anything but tiny and delivered big on EXPERIENCE. Last time, we saw Chef Izard expediting the line and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. This time, Chef Izard wasn't here but her restaurant still ran with the same precision and impeccable eye for quality of food, service, and ambiance. Our server was Luis (and his team) and we sat at the kitchen bar. We were greeted with genuine warmth and a champagne toast. We will remember Luis and will ask for him again. The menu items on this six-course Tiniest Goat experience were ANYTHING but tiny. The flavors were even BEYOND what we'd come to expect having eaten here previously and at Chef Izard's LA rooftop dining experience. The menu items were a fusion of Chicagoat, Asian, and California fresh! The braised goat with persimmons was an unexpected delight, as was every single course. We've had great goat empanadas here before. My husband lived in the DR before where he'd thought he had the best goat ever, but Chef Izard's team surpassed his high expectations. Chef Preston was personable and made the experience unlike we'd had before in the best possible ways. It was interactive. We got to experience firsthand what we saw last time only closer up, which was a team that works exceptionally well with each other AND truly loves what they do. They were also having fun and kind to one another. Well Done, BRAVO!

The Chocolate Tart and Elderflower Panna Cotta were the perfect finishing touches along with the birthday ice cream popsicle. Overall, Boka felt intimate, elevated, and impeccably executed.

The bar seating itself wasn't super crowded - but every booth and table looked like it was taken, so that was interesting. On my way to the bathroom I saw their numerous michelin years of guide and stars. It's noticeably missing 2026 - and after having dined here, I kind of get why. For a drink I got the local Eris Pedestrian cider. We debated getting the chef menu ($195/each) , but we ended up ordering a la carte: chicken liver mousse ($9/each, we ordered two), roasted veal sweetbreads ($30), black truffle chicken ($43), and roasted dry aged pork loin ($51). We later ordered a financiers for dessert (forgot the price). We were full after eating everything that we ordered, but given the lack of quality of the cuts of meat, the small portion sizes, and the extremely high cost, it's hard for me to recommend this place. If this is what Michelin star-quality food tastes like (at least in Chicago), the Michelin evaluators here have either no actual taste buds, or are awarding stars for "vibes" only. The vibes are fine - don't get me wrong - but the food here isn't anything worth writing home about. Dish by dish: mousse was decent, the veal was kinda dry, the chicken was very dry, and the pork loin, while decent, wasn't as special as we thought it'd be. Financiers was kinda sweet but it was actually the only part of the meal I truly enjoyed the bites of. The post-meal truffle thing was too sweet for the missus so I ate both. The cider was... Pedestrian, as the name implies. Definitely the most fitting name for the drink. The bathrooms are down the stairs - so it's terrible for those in wheelchairs or that are mobility challenged. The bathrooms themselves are high-quality - which is part of the experience, but idk if it's "worthy" of adding stars to a mediocre food experience.

Being from the Chicago area previously, I regularly advocate for the Chicago food scene, and this unfortunately did not meet those standards.

Very hip and trendy, with a great atmosphere and a two-story layout. The upstairs area looked like it would be perfect for larger groups or private gatherings. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the atmosphere. We were a party of six and arrived before the big dinner rush, so it wasn't particularly busy when we ordered. Our server was very quiet and not especially engaging. I was seated toward the end of the table, and rather than walking over to take my order or answer questions, she spoke to me from across the table. I personally enjoy being able to have a conversation with my server, especially when I have questions about gluten-free options, and it was awkward trying to communicate across five other people. Our food took approximately 35 minutes to arrive after ordering, which seemed excessive considering how quiet the restaurant was when we placed our order. Interestingly, the staff assisting with clearing tables and refilling water were much friendlier and more personable than our actual server. The GF Fried chicken was good, crispy but lacked flavor. I did not care for the GF waffles, and the syrup was underwhelming. Others enjoyed their meal, the fish and chips and short ribs were well liked. One thing worth mentioning: Yardbird automatically adds a 20% gratuity for parties of six. We all had separate checks, and when paying through the QR code, the payment system also prompted for an additional tip. If you're not paying attention, it would be easy to tip twice, so definitely double-check before submitting payment. The restaurant is on the pricier side, although the portions are generous. Overall, I loved the atmosphere and appreciated having gluten-free options, but the service and overall experience fell a little short of expectations. I'm glad we tried it, but I'm not sure it's somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.
