My trip to Chicago in December proved to be more than just a weekend of site seeing. Prior to the trip, I did my research on the restaurant scene and after much deliberation chose Blackbird for Doug's bday dinner. It was the perfect choice. The restaurant was very minimalistic in decor and the food was excellent, credited to their amazing chefs who have been nominated for multiple awards. Beautifully prepared (small-medium) portions of soups, salads, pastas, seafood and meat graced our table and we left totally smitten with the place. We sat next to 2 chefs who were ecstatic about each course they tried and it made the experience that much more special knowing we were sharing in the fun. Also try their other restaurants The Publican and Avec.
