"Phil Vettel praises Brindille as one of Chicago’s best French restaurants. The food is 'complex and nuanced and unfailingly delicious,' and accompanied by an 'excellent wine list and strong beverage program.' There’s a 'gorgeous' steak tartare, sporting a 'satisfying mouthfeel,' that’s topped with fried quail egg and spicy watercress. Dover sole is 'treat[ed] with the care that this royal fish deserves' and worth the $57 price tag, while Scottish wood-pigeon 'delivers assertive gamy flavors' and is bolstered by bacon, foie gras, and wild-boar sausage. Desserts include 'feather-soft' clafoutis in various flavors as well as a fine selection of cheeses." - Jeffy Mai
