A reminder that some of Chicago’s best meals are still being served in a quiet dining room on Wells Street. 😉

Congratulations to Brindille on their most recent features from both SAVEUR Magazine and Chicago magazine. These honors are a reflection of the care, craftsmanship, and hospitality that Chef Carrie and Michael bring to the table every day.

Congrats to them, and the entire crew, on the well deserved recognition!

Raising a glass to our friends at Lemon. 🍋

Today they were named Top 10 Honorees in the 2026 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards, and nominated for both Best U.S. Bar Team *and* Best U.S. Cocktail Bar.

We’ve had a front row seat to the care, energy, and detail behind what they do every day, and it shows.

Huge congratulations to the entire crew. We’re forever cheering you on!

Sablefish, grilled over binchotan, paired with roasted koginut squash and a black garlic dumpling, hidden beneath saffron fumet and nasturtium.

A new chapter from Chef Rodolfo Cuadros.

Next month, Port Union opens in Wicker Park, taking over the former home of Bloom Plant Based Kitchen.

From the chef-owner behind Amaru, the concept expands beyond plant-based while maintaining the same intentional approach, reframing modern American cuisine through a more layered, globally influenced lens.

A soft opening is planned for April 17, with weekend brunch to follow in May.

Stay tuned for more details to come!

Early spring at Brindille. 🌱

Chef Carrie Nahabedian moves through the season with precision, white asparagus, bright acidity, then into richer plates like rabbit and duck, all grounded in classic French technique.

Cocktails follow suit, a French 75, a proper Vieux Carré, and originals built with oolong tea, amaro, and citrus.

If you haven’t visited in a while… now is a delicious time to book at Brindille!

A subtle flex to start the night.

Caviar, parsnip, chestnut — a balance of salinity and warmth, softened by pink-tipped parsley.

“If there’s a better two-mile dining stretch in Chicago, we still don’t know where it is.”

Chicago Avenue between Noble and California is once again in the conversation, with Crain's Chicago recognizing the renewed energy across West Town, including SIX4 clients, Beatnik West Town, GoodFunk, and Nettare.

It’s proof that strong neighborhoods are shaped by operators willing to take risks, invest deeply, and build for the long term.

Proud to work alongside the teams defining this stretch, and appreciative of Ari Bendersky for highlighting the momentum unfolding here.

Get out and explore West Town today!

After the pandemic shut everything down, the vibrancy on Chicago Avenue is back as more places including Brasero, Omakase Shoji and Michelin-starred Feld have opened.
