Halibut was terrific. I would go back and will go back for the halibut. Not many places in the city that serve it like they do.

delicious food. i had the halibut, it was yummy. the lamb was awesome too. The only thing I didn't like was the noise and seatings were really close to each other. I feel like I was eating with the two couples next to us. Haha.

Fine Dining in the West Loop. Fantastic meal - each course was wonderful. If you're on a budget, definitely head on over for the $22 prix fixe 3-course lunch. My party of four tried each dish on the prix fixe menu and they were all beautifully presented. The sturgeon for my entree was a little overcooked, but in general, each dish was impeccably thought out and the details really made this place spectacular. They even brought us hooks for our purses so we could hang them on the table and not put them on the floor.

The restaurant is small, and almost a little too crowded. Service was slow and it took over two hours for us to finish our meal and I had an appointment that I was late to because of it. Servers were very nice though. The bread at the beginning of our meal was interesting, one rye and one multigrain, and I loved the housemade butter.

My dessert was my most interesting part of the meal - a baked brioche custard with pear consomme, streusel noisette, molasses tuile and chai sherbet. My family really enjoyed the manjari chocolate pave with pomegranates, crispy chocolate, lime salt and beet ice cream as well.

I asked the manager how often they change the prix-fixe menu and he said approximately every six weeks. I will be back in a month or so to try their new creations. I really love the uniqueness and exotic flavors that they use here at Blackbird. I really feel like I'm have a valuable and luxurious dining experience and the prices are very reasonable.

The sandwiches looked very good as well, and I may try one next time. I normally do not order sandwiches are restaurants because they are so ordinary, but these looked really special. Definitely worth trying.
