Brasero

The 26 Best Chicago Restaurants For A Birthday Dinner - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Brasero seems to specialize in throwing birthday parties. This Latin American spot in West Town is great for upbeat get-togethers of all sizes, with a mix of shareable dishes like fried quail and grilled half lobster, and catchy bossa nova music. Many of the dishes nail a balance between sweet and spicy. The oysters will catch you off guard with their creaminess and heat. The moqueca has the perfect amount of chili to enhance the coconut broth, mahi mahi, and shrimp. Whatever you order, you’ll all leave with a light cologne of smoke, thanks to the wood-fire grill in the back and dessert sparklers that constantly float around. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor
