Brass Heart

Was.excited to go here at end of June when I'm town. Suddenly unable to reserve online. Called and cryptically told not taking resos for last 2 weeks of June. Spidey senses tell they're closing. Bummer!

One of the best tasting menu restaurants in Chicago! Great value as well

Incredible food and experience! Every dish was amazing, we did the mocktail pairing and the drinks were excellent as well. They can make a vegan meal alongside non vegan, and it was just as incredible of a meal!

Note: My visit was during restaurant week, so it does not paint a comprehensive picture of their menu and offerings. The Aquachile was absolutely my favorite item on the menu. I would eat that over and over again if I could. The pasta course was very interesting, but still good. What really threw me off was the NY Strip. When you mix everything together in one bite, it tastes like a McDonald's cheeseburger for some reason. I know that's really distinct, but it was uncanny how it tasted exactly like it. The dessert was also really good. The plate was quite oversized; however, everything is spread out and it's a hefty enough portion. While I can't say that their normal tasting menu will or will not be worth it. If you get a chance and they do their restaurant week again, it's a no brainer to go and take advantage of the reduced pricing.

Great atmosphere, super nice staff who all let their personalities come through, and amazing food. I had the vegan menu which was so good and looked identical to the omnivore menu - they didn't take any shortcuts. Overall this experience is 100% worth the money when you're able to splurge. Also I really appreciated paying ahead of time as it completely avoided the awkward part of the dinner at the end. Dietary restrictions: They have a menu for vegans and omnivores you just need to let them know ahead of time.
