"The Bristol"
April 9, 2011
- Food: Mediterranean influenced, local farm driven, comfort food with finesse
- Decor: Comfortable, warm, rich woods, small room, nice bar, communal tables, homey
- Service: Polished, but comfortable, personable, informal, but not precise.
- Cost: $$
- Wine / Cocktails: Very good list, almost all wines under $100 with very reasonable markups. Ecclectic, but something there for every palate.
Overview:
The B is a place I like to call home at least once a week, sometimes twice, when I am in Chicago. Everything about the place is comfortable to me. The food, which is constantly changing, is always artful, flavorful, and comforting. Chef Pandel has a real talent for delicately layering Italian perspectives into his distinctly local fare. His unabashed willingness to use all the parts of the animal make The B a favorite for me. Comfortable room, really nice people, excellent charcuterie, pastas, meats and desserts. Their new pasty chef, Amanda Rockman, is a a Rockstar and her Basque Cake is one of my favorite desserts of all time.
While the menu changes, things that are always there and worth it: Scotch Olives, Flatbread, Bone Marrow, Charcuterie, Pan Roasted Chicken and ANY of the house-made pastas. From time to time they will offer a Cote du Bouef, Pig Tail or Goat, which are not to be missed.
Recommended Dishes:
Greatest hits from the past: Beef Tongue in Aspic, Beef Heart Tartare, Cote du Bouef, Whole Roasted Fish, Goat Brain Ravioli, Pasta with Botarga, Hangar Steak, Duck Fat French Fries, Vitello Tonnato, Testa and Porchetta, to name just a few....
