Brass Tack

A great hidden gem!The brass tack is a great hotel restaurant located on the third floor of the Waldorf Astoria Chicago. It provides plenty of space and seating options as well as a great ambience not only was the food delicious with great portions. The drinks were good as well.I will definitely come back.

We were staying at the Waldorf for one night and had dinner here and then breakfast the next morning. First I'll say that both the service and ambiance were phenomenal. it exudes classiness. The interior of this place feels like something out of a movie, except that instead of being set up trying to copy from film, it's more like films use a restaurant like this as inspiration.The French Onion soup I cannot recommend enough. The soup and onions were rich and caramelized, and the bread and broiled cheese on top tasted amazing. My wife had scallops which were seasoned and seared to perfection. I had a truffle pizza which was rich and earthy and delicious.Style and elegance.

I was craving steak frites and decided to come try brass tack. Came here on a Monday evening around 7 pm to sit at the bar and the place was almost empty. The restaurant was kinda bright and the overall vibe was not as I expected. The service was average and the food wasn't anything I'd come back for. I ordered a glass of the house Pinot Grigio for $19 and "steak frites" medium rare for $45. Although the entree took some time, I was quickly served my wine. When I received the "steak frites" I didn't really receive steak frites. What was suppose to be French fries was some potato brick/filet sort of thing that didn't taste like anything. To more of my disappointment, the steak was fatty and super chewy. The star of the show was the béarnaise sauce. It had great flavor! Overall, not sure if I would come back here and order the same entree. You can get steak frites at any other place around here with better quality and for half of the price. Furthermore, I assume the vibes are better when it's not Monday night.

A hidden gem! We went here for restaurant week lunch and had an amazing time! We just sat at the bar and reallyEnjoyed the ambiance and talking to the bartender. Everything was so delicious and the portions were really solid! We ended up getting our main course in a to go box after that amazing burrata with pistachio pesto. Loved our experience here. If you're in the mood for a up-scale lunch in streeterville this is the spot.

Had dinner here since it had good reviews and it was walking distance from our hotel. Big bar you can order from the full menu. Friendly bartenders and service was great. Best French onion soup I've ever had. Burger was very good. Try the Garrett if you like bourbon. Better than an old fashion if you like those.

I've been here multiple times for various meals. Tonight was dinner on a Friday evening. I always find the menu a little interesting overall. It does feature a variety of proteins and other mains and sides but generally nothing really stands out as extraordinary to me. I could be totally wrong and off-base here. With that, it was late in the evening and we decided just to share an appetizer and an entrée with the salt and pepper calamari which I found overall. Biting Into the calamari rounds seemed like biting into Styrofoam. I don't know if that was the flash fry and batter but they just didn't taste good overall. there was also very little chili lime aïoli underneath. We then split a burger. The burger itself is huge and could definitely be split. We appreciated the server having that done in the kitchen and we each had our own fresh order of fries. The burger was cooked perfectly, everything brioche. They were plenty of toppings on the bun as well. We would probably order that item again. We finished off with the banana caramel cake. It had good flavors overall and a beautiful presentation. Overall, the meal was good. The room can get rather loud with boisterous from the bar area. Overall, it was a decent meal. Service was friendly and efficient.

The patty was well cooked and seasoned. The flavor is perfect; there's no need for condiments.

Had an amazing experience at BT. Wife and I came to BT for dinner while staying at the Waldorf. The staff as always was on point. Alex took amazing care of us. Made great recommendations and ensured our dinner went without any disappointments. The house sommelier, Taylor, was super personable and answered all of my wine related questions. I would strongly recommend asking Taylor for a recommendation when pairing wine with your meal. The restaurant had no problem accommodating our request for a quiet table where my wife and I could sit next to each other vs across from one another. I ordered the NY strip this time. The steak came out done to the correct temperature and was seasoned just the way I like it. The steak was accompanied with a cherry tomato's on the vine, lightly grilled. Tomatoes added a great balance to the meal. The steaks was so filling that we ended up skipping out on the desert but the desert menu offers a great selection of sweets. Overall, fantastic dinner experience. Looking forward to visiting Brass Tack again.

Food: very classic taste with small amount Service: good, nice staff, such a diligent and thrifty team, offer only one set of syrup and sauces if you order similar dishes...Price: 2 for $160Ambiance: great place to go if you prefer somewhere with very classic vibe.

We were here for Sunday Brunch, the Lobster toast was spectacular. Nice atmosphere and good service. I will definitely come back just for the toast!!
