Came to Brasero for a birthday dinner and did the $115 Leap of Faith menu where you get a personalized dinner catered. 1000% worth it - you get a multiple appetizers, entrees and desserts. Everything that came out was delicious. Easily one of my favorite dinner spots in Chicago.

Great service. We were running late due to traffic and called well before our reservation and they were gracious and held the table for us. We were going to the theatre and they paced the dinner out nicely, we were not rushed but had plenty of time. The Parker House rolls and spread were great. Loved the subtle spice in the Malabar shrimp.. Wine selections were of course amazing and the red wine braised short rib was super tender.

This was our first experience at a Michelin starred restaurant, and it did not disappoint. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all outstanding. We do not live in Chicago, but if I did, I would visit regularly.
