    Brilliant and non-stuffy Michelin experience. One of the better tasting menus we've done, if not the best. Plenty of food, but nothing overwhelming. Our themed ingredients were asparagus and strawberries. Service great. Ambiance great. You get the full Michelin experience without feeling out of place if you are more casual. Will be back!

    After just one visit, Feld has become one of my favorite restaurants in all of Chicago. The whole experience from start to finish was simply perfection. This is a restaurant where the kitchen is in the dining room (or is it the other way around?) and all the chefs are the ones serving and explaining each dish to you. It was really amazing getting to see how all the staff worked together seamless to make dinner service go smoothly, and I especially enjoyed seeing the dishes being prepared. Every course of the dinner was delicious for me, even the ones where I wasn't really sure if I'd like or not because of unfamiliar or disliked ingredients. The small size of each course (the first ones come out as single bites) really lets you try an extremely wide array of flavors and textures. Feld uses fresh ingredients that they source via relationships they've established, and you can really taste that. I got the alcoholic beverage pairing, and honestly every drink did enhance the flavors of the dishes. I know that this is a splurge meal, but I think I'll be back. Can't wait to see and taste what Chef Jacob and his team come up with next! Food: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 4.75/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.75/5

    Great experience throughout! Staff was very attentive and friendly to talk to. The bites were very thoughtful and innovative. Even the non-alcoholic drink pairing was fairly well done! (my wife and I often find that places often treat non-alcoholic drink pairings as an afterthought) As with most fine dining places, there will be a few dishes that will not be up your alley due to taste preferences. Feld did well in this regard in that even the dishes that I didn't personally enjoy, I could still appreciate the depth of flavor and time that went into the prep and presentation. It was also a nice touch to be able to see the dishes being built in the island in front of you! The only drawback is the price point. Of the fine dining places we've been to in Chicago, this one is on the pricier side. That being said, would I do it again? For a special occasion, absolutely!

    Feld is an important restaurant. Not just because the food is excellent (it is), but because Chef Jacob Potashnick and his team are trying to do something different -- to awaken diners to an experience that feels like a departure from everyday life. From the very first moment, it's clear this isn't your typical dinner out. You're welcomed with a table of beautiful, curious small plates -- It's not overwhelming, but it's a clear signal: you're about to go on a journey. That journey had many standouts. For me, everything with tomatoes was excellent-- the heirloom tomato with maple jus in particular. Both lamb courses (the lamb belly with celeriac and the 21-day dry-aged lamb with lemongrass) were beautifully executed and delicious. The albacore tuna with wasabi was another highlight -- pure, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The peach and poblano pairing showed how Feld can take simple seasonal produce and make it feel elevated and unexpected. What struck me most is how different Feld feels from a traditional fine dining experience. There's no bread, no pasta, no potatoes. Just dish after dish that celebrates fruits, vegetables, meats, and fish on their own terms. The dining room itself reinforces the departure from the everyday: tables along the sides, chefs plating in the center, staff moving like a ballet ensemble. On our night there were 12 diners and 8 staff, and it all felt seamless -- attentive, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic. Special kudos to Nathan, the restaurant director, who made the evening feel personal and welcoming. I also loved their low-ABV pairing. While my partner enjoyed a classic wine progression, I was treated to inventive beverages, each with its own personality. And just when we thought it was over, out came more desserts, and finally, an invitation outside to roast marshmallows by the fire pit -- a whimsical, communal ending to a meal already overflowing with creativity. Feld is not just a place to eat. It's an experience, a philosophy, and a celebration of food and seasonality. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. For me, it was one of the best meals I've ever had, and one I'll remember for a long time.

    Finally made it to Feld. Was definitely turned off initially by some of the reviews I read, so decided to give them some time to find their footing and perhaps make some adjustments. I'm really glad I did. I had an outstanding meal there last week and I'd definitely like to return in the spring to see whats new. Service - 5 stars. Staff was great. Took their time explaining everything and were very knowledgeable. I liked that everyone touched our table at some point. Nothing felt pretentious and every one was welcoming and fun. My only issue was that sometimes it was a little hard to hear. It's not a big space and if multiple people are talking at once I occasionally missed what the person was saying. Vibe - 5 stars. I loved the space and enjoyed watching them cook and plate everything. I was a little worried about sitting next to my companion for the entire evening because I have some minor neck issues and was worried about having to have my neck turned for 3 hours of conversation, but it wasn't terrible. Food - 5 stars. There were a lot of dishes and I think they only really missed in one of them. The dry aged beef tongue was just a little too chewy for me. I really really enjoy the grilled scallop, the beef tartare, the feldpege egg and all of the acorn squash that was on the menu. They ended the meal taking us out back, not to whack us, but to let us make s'mores with the chef. Speaking of, he couldn't have been nicer. Drinks - 5 stars. The sommelier made a suggestion of a pinot noir from Oregon that went well with a lot of what we ate. We chose not to do the pairings because usually that's too much booze for me. I like also when they brought out their interesting alcohols and asked us if we wanted to try anything. We didn't, but I liked the option. I have a lot of higher end places I want to try in Chicago still, but I will for sure make another visit to Feld.

    Comforting corn tea was a delicious amuse-bouche, and then 10 small courses hit the table at once, in the style of Korean banchan. Each course was great and the meal was thrilling right out of the gates. I enjoyed all of the courses, but the standout for me, that I can't stop thinking about, was the baby corn tempura, in which a whole immature ear of corn is tempura fried and dotted with basil aioli. This is one of my top three favorite courses I've eaten all year. The courses I loved were too numerous to name, but some favorites savories were Agedashi Eggplant with Oregon Wasabi, Buckwheat Gavotte with a squash blossom, Gargouillou-an homage to French chef Michel Bras, in which every seasonal vegetable ripe at once in a garden is individually cooked to perfection and dressed before being presented together in a symphony of colors, flavors and textures, and 21-Day Dry Aged Lamb. The parade of desserts seemed perfectly calibrated to my palate, as I don't care for desserts that are overly sweet or bready. My favorites were peach sorbet in a chilled tomato mint broth, beef tallow ice cream with parmesan and malt, a silky dark chocolate mousse, and fresh seasonal fruit on ice. I enjoyed the pairings, with my favorite being the 2017 Pra Amarone della Valpolicella, which was a showstopper with the lamb. Nathan Ducker did a brilliant job of explaining each pairing. He was fascinating and lovely to interact with. I'm looking forward to continuing to watch his star rise. After dessert we enjoyed 1-ounce pours of Laurent Cazottes Walnut Liqueur, and Nocino. I like to add them to sparkling water as an unsweetened bitters soda, which the team was happy to oblige. Each course was served in beautiful bespoke vessels, hot courses were served on warmed plates, cold courses served in cold dishes. The spoons with the dessert courses were chilled. Feld exemplifies thoughtfulness and attention to detail. My recommendation is that you make a reservation before next year, because Michelin would be foolish not to award them a star, and when that happens, it will be much more difficult to secure a reservation.

    This is the next Michelin star restaurant in Chicago. The service was top notch, the ambience super warm and food inventive. It felt almost like dinner theater. Love the emphasis on what's in season and the pairings of unexpected flavors. Unlike anything in the Chicago food scene currently. Go if you can score a reservation!

    There are no words to describe the breathtaking experience me and my sons were provided. From the chivalry of the chef to the symphony of the flavors, no restaurant has competition. The attention to detail and understand of my ambidextrous challenges truly brought a tear to the eye. Definitely take this opportunity to meet the chef before he gets his stars because it will be impossible to get a reservation. utestående!!!

    Craig G.

    The room was elegant but not stuffy, the service charming and knowledgeable and the food was fantastic. Each dish was inventive, well-planned and very well executed. But more important than all of the above: the restaurant does its very best to give you an amazing experience - and they succeed quite well. Bravo Feld - Bravo!!

I had only sat upstairs at the bar and outside, so I was happy we were able to see the downstairs.

They are known for their burger but I am not a huge burger fan. Their other food is amazing though! Even my boyfriend who loves burgers agreed that the chicken sandwich was one of the best and maybe even better than the burger. Definitely get the mac & cheese, chicken sandwich, and french onion soup. The french onion soup was super cheesy and the mac & cheese was so creamy and perfect. Typically I don't like bacon in mac & cheese, but I love that they don't overdo it here where it overpowers the entire dish. It was only some tiny pieces of bacon just for the flavor.

The patio did come with a couple of uninvited guests - mosquitoes, and at one point a spider stopped by my plate. Thankfully, these visitors did not dampen our overall experience. We started with cocktails and tried the Avant Gardener - gin with sorrel, bay leaf and lemon - and the wonderfully named You Go Glen Coco, made with rum, ube, coconut, lemongrass, cacao nibs, honeysuckle and ginger. Two very different and creative cocktails that fit nicely with the experience. We tried quite a bit of the menu. The dry-aged duck was my favorite. The beef tartare was incredibly tasty, and the scallops and Boka's signature roasted chicken were right up there as well. Presentation was clearly part of the experience - every dish arrived looking as carefully thought out as it tasted. We finished with dessert, and the Sweet Corn Custard was the winner for me. Service throughout the evening was good and attentive, and we walked away with a highly satisfied experience. Next time, though, I'm choosing a table inside - and leaving the spiders to enjoy the patio.

So, I finally made a reservation for Boka. There are several reasons that Boka looks attractive to me: a fine-dining restaurant opening on Monday, creative New American dishes, and importantly, they allow customers to order à la carte. I went there at 7:45pm on Monday and at that time the restaurant was about half-full. I tried the following dishes: 1. Bluefin Tuna Tart. A bite size app. The tart was filled with cherry puree/sauce, finely "minced" tuna and yuzu jelly, from bottom to top. Very rich in texture, and had a good balance of flavors. 2. Tortelli. Italian Dumplings filled with ricotta+tarragon, cooked with maitake and sweet corns, and topped with shaved goat gouda. The dumplings came with 6 pc, all generously filled with cheese. There was also lots of shaved goat gouda. These absolutely made the dish very rich in flavor, but a large amount of cheese also means it could be salty. The corns, luckily, added some refreshing sweetness to it. 3. Black Truffle Chicken. I ordered it mainly because I wondered how well a Michelin star restaurant cooks chicken, which could easily be made too dry. Surprisingly, the chicken was so tender and juicy that it required little effort to slice it! Moreover, interestingly, the chicken breast was stuffed with some sausage (the layer you see between the skin and the meat). Unfortunately, the dish was too salty for me: the chicken was brined, the sausage may had been cured, the jus and zucchini puree were also salty. I tried to finish it but could not, so I asked a bartender to send it back to the kitchen. 4. Roasted Hokkaido Scallops. Another creative dish. The seared scallops were paired with pickled & grilled cucumber slices, diced seaweed & radish, cauliflower puree, perhaps some puffed rice, and garnished with tarragon infused oil. I really liked the smoky and sour cucumber slices and the umami seaweed & radish. The puffed rice added some delightful crispiness to the dish. But the taste of cauliflower puree was more or less over-shadowed by the other ingredients. 5. Dinner rolls. Potato rolls with sunflower seeds. Served with fennel pollen+sea salt butter. Bread service was free. Service was, overall, top-level. I was greeted warmly by the reciptionist and the bartenders (I sat at the bar). The staff all had a good knowledge about the ingredients in the dishes, as well as how they are prepared (actually it seems that they had a book to record these, because I saw two of them reading and discussing such). When I complained about the chicken, they apologized to me and offered to cook something else for me for free. I might come back in the future if I see something interesting on their seasonally changing menu.
