A new signature restaurant is open for business at the Waldorf Astoria Chicago, and this one is an American Brasserie, reportedly with a Chicago twist. The new Brass Tack restaurant serves up American cuisine that’s Midwest-sourced.
The venue uses ingredients from regional farms, sourcing them based on the season. Led by Executive Chef Nicholas Marino, Brass Tack is said to transform those ingredients to menu items with a contemporary twist.
Daily breakfast favorites include Coffee Cake Pancakes and Shakshuka Verde. The restaurant also serves Lobster Toast, which takes ciabatta and hollandaise, then tops it with a butter poached lobster and truffle scramble.
The lunch menu at Brass Tack ranges from Porchetta Dip and Agnolotti to Chicken Confit. For those dining on the weekends, there’s a brunch, which brings in some breakfast and lunch selections, highlighted by live music.
The dinner menu at Brass Tack includes such American classics as Citrus brined chicken, whole roasted walleye, and porterhouse steak. All items are cooked in a wood oven.
The drink menu doesn’t disappoint, either. The cocktail menu includes some classic cocktails with a twist, and the location’s signature martinis.
Constructed to resemble a Brasserie, the 140-seat restaurant includes some café seating and banquettes. There are two private dining rooms, which can be used for sit-down dinners and receptions
A full-service bar provides bar seating for another 15 guests. Brass Tack is open every day of the week, from 7am until at least 10pm, depending on the night.
You’ll find Brass Tack on the third floor of Waldorf Astoria Chicago. The new restaurant was part of a renovation at the famed hotel, which also brought in a new lobby lounge and bar.
