My fiance' and I went to Blackbird last Friday night. @ Michelin rated one star restaurant, the menu looked sophisticated and amazing and the decor was minimalism and simple.
Overwhelmed with choices, we decided to try something different that night and stayed away from the traditional entrees like steak, chicken, fish, lobster. We order the suckling pig for appetizer and creamy mussels soup. They were really savory and delightful. For entrees we got the lamb saddle and rabbit saddle, the traditional game animals that are common on Chicago restaurant menus. All came in small but decent portion and great presentation. We liked the lamb but we LOVED the rabbit dish! The meat was so tender, wrapped with crispy fried skin. It was definitely the best rabbit dish I've had.
We order White Chocolate Mousse and Soft Valrhona Chocolate for dessert, but we also got a free bonus dessert for the small incident during the meal (not worth mentioning). They were all great quality! Price-wise, for a Michelin one star, this is relatively inexpensive.
Strongly recommended!
