Brasero Chicago Reviews
We do a monthly dinning club and a friend chose this place.
While this place is on the pricey side, it is totally worth it. There were five of us and we opted to do the 4 course menu for 120$ per person which was absolutely worth it. Keep in mind the menu is not vegetarian friendly. However pescatarians will

You morph into a different era and location when you walk into Brasero. I felt like I was going into the past from the future and immersing myself in a different perspective. Here are the foods I tried leading up to my favorite, starting with the L

While on the pricier side I do recommend trying the family style menu option. We had 5 in our group and I thought that was perfect. I really enjoyed the kale salad and hamachi, the pork shank was DELISH, so flavorful and fell off the bone. Sweet pota
Nice food but super rushed and crazy 23.
5% auto gratuity. The food was very good - steaks were cooked nicely and the sides were excellent (sweet potato side was the highlight). That being said, the service was super rushed. We asked our server if we could put our apps in first and order

Absolutely love the food and service here! Our waiter recommended the passion fruit dessert which i cannot recommend enough! Its almost like a cheesecake but not as rich, the tangy flavor is so delicious and perfect sweetness got me finishing the w
Honestly, the chefs may be wizards.
The food is soooooo good. I don't even care for steak and I devoured the picanha. But the branzino stole the show! The PÃO DE QUEIJO and GRILLED PRAWNS were a must and I need to go back to Chicago to try them again! My friends enjoyed the oyste
Dinner at Brasero did NOT miss.

We dined at Brasero with a group of 10 to celebrate a birthday! We were definitely prepared to order à la carte and the server rightfully guided us to the family style menu. $120 per person and we got enough food for everyone to have their fill and
Great food, great service.
Grilled oysters are a must but everything we tried was a hit.
I only have good things to say about Brasero.
I'm always looking for a "wow" factor when trying new restaurants, and Brasero delivered exactly that. To start, we had the pão de queijo -- cheesy, puffed bread balls served with a cream and jam on the side. A very comforting and ea

This place was amazing! My brother invited me and my wife out to dinner. When we walked in we were seated right away. The host had great energy great smile and a great attitude. The entire staff was great. The food was amazing. Great date night spot.

If the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" were a restaurant, Brasero would be it. I'd read a lot of positive reviews about this place, but they don't do it justice. I went here for a date night, specifically to experi
Stopped in for happy hour at the bar (love that it's 5-7!).
The ambiance was fantastic -- every seat was taken on a Friday night, which says a lot. Bartender Tommy was excellent and recommended the hot dog from the happy hour menu, and it did not disappoint. We absolutely loved it. Can't wait to come bac

We had a wonderful dinner here last night. Autumn, our server, was wonderful with recommendations and honest answers to our questions. The food was amazing. Pao de queijo, tuna crudo, oysters, and cocktails to start. Branzino, fried rice, squash, a

Everything about this place is phenomenal, from the quality of food, to the cozy ambiance and of course, the top notch service. My friend and I went for dinner on a Saturday and the restaurant was full but not over the top loud which can be really ha
This is my new favorite brunch spot.
The menu is so creative, and everything we ordered was incredibly tasty. The atmosphere is lovely, too
I am raving about Brasero to all my friends and colleagues.
Our table selected the higher priced "Roll the dice" option and were all exceedingly happy with every one of the 12 dishes which blessed our table. The service was attentive, friendly and personal. The environment is attractive, not pretent

TL;DR: Leaving a 5 star review on as many platforms as I can. Good food, good vibes, and a damn good welcome by staff all around. Long version: This is my first time really in Chicagoland - visiting for some buddy's wedding in Naperville. And da
This is a new favorite for sure.
Gorgeous inside, everything was amazing, and the service was fantastic. Most of the menu is naturally gluten free (including pao de qeijo and the fried chicken!) and my non-gluten free dining companions loved it just as much as I did :)
Stopped in for a late brunch.
Chicken and waffles was so good. SO good. The chicken wasn't just perfectly crispy, it was perfectly flavorful from the crust to the meat, and I would have eaten a whole plate of that alone, but with the cheesy, crunchy waffle and the fried onio
This was my fourth time here.
First for brunch. Gorgeous restaurant! Sat by the window this time. Spacious seating. I'd give my pineapple, orange, prickly pear juice 10/10. Shrimp & crab ceviche 6/10. Yummy, crispy plantain chips. The ceviche was more like a salsa withou
Incredible space.
Fabulous wine list. Top notch service. Our favorites were the pork shank and the oyster. Truly excellent from start to finish!
The ambiance and service were just stellar.
We had the ribeye, crudo, ceviche, oysters, sweet potato, and fried chicken. I also had the lemonade. Overall every dish was great, hearty yet thoughtful but the ribeye was incredible. One of the best I've had in a long time. The yuca fries were

The best bowl of ramen you will ever have! Shrimp was grilled and smokey, coconut broth is creamy & nutty, fish is tender, & clams pull it all together! Service was impeccable! Can't wait to go back!
Overpriced and underserved
I feel a little sorry I picked Brasero. My impressions: Ambience 3/5 House cocktails 1/5 Appetizers (mixed: 5/5 for the scallops, 3/5 for the fried rice) Mains average 3.5/5 Dessert (mixed: 4/5 for the coconut soft-serve, 2/5 for the Budi
Latin food in West Town
The dishes at this Latin American-inspired restaurant are complicated: although many are grilled over live fire, they are dressed up with chopped nuts mixed with herbs, whipped flavored cheese, and various sauces. Portions of the dishes meant to sha
Something different!
This is a hugely popular and well received restaurant on a trendy part of Chicago Avenue next door to one of the finest art galleries in town. It serves good drinks and, at least for me, a unique blend of South American flavored dishes. We enjoyed
Humongous flavors
Place is a sister restaurant to the popular el Che but what brought me in was a recent claim that’s it’s one of the best restaurants in the country per a Robb Report article. I have to agree. Strong but well executed Rhum old fashioned. Prawns th
Conceived in South America, born in Chicago
Last February, noted chef John Manion opened what might be the best new restaurant in Chicago. Located at 1709 West Chicago Avenue, between Wood and Paulina, in the West Town neighborhood, Brasero offers a wood-fired, Latin-inspired cuisine that Mani
Amazing Place
We had a fantastic dinner last night at this newish Chicago South American bistro. Notables were the seafood stew and the endive salad. Great atmosphere and service. It’s a place to get a great meal!
New favorite in West Town!
A group of friends and I went to Brasero for dinner on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant was partially filled at 6:30 and fully booked by the time we left. The host and server were wonderful, providing solid recommendations for drinks and food. We
An unmissable Chicago gem
This is a fabulous place. The food is some of the best I’ve eaten (the ceviche and the charred asparagus salad have to be tasted to be believed) and the room is elegant and atmospheric but also fun. The service couldn’t be bettered - friendly wit
100 Bottles of Wine for Under $100
This is one of the new hot spots in the City. The food is outstanding. The whole snapper was spectacular and the pork ribs shareable was my favorite bite of the night. The menu seems to be tilted towards seafood, but there are meat options as well.
Connect with users posting reservations for Brasero Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Brasero Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Brasero Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Brasero Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Brasero Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Brasero Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
