Hermosa - Chicago

Went for the family dinner. It's a very intimate space as soon as you walk in. Ethan and staff are so friendly and accommodating. We were greeted with some crunchy thin beef jerky and a spicy sauce. Salmon rillete and fresh spring veggies, followed by an 18 hour crunch potato with tartare and roe (my favorite large bite) a nice scallop akin to me like an aguachile. A really earthy curry soup with fresh hers and sans coconut milk. Then came the fried chicken and sides. The fried chicken was every by as good as advertised with the nice flavor and my kee go to fried chicken sauce (lime and fresh black pepper). A nicely fried fresh fish followed by a huge ribeye. Closed off with a dulce de leche ice cream.It's been my meal of the year as of June 23. I have told everyone to try to secure the very difficult reservation. Well worth the wait

Wow—the service, the quality, the atmosphere…I don’t know what topped what. The private dinner for 8 was as warm and welcoming as it was delicious and impressive. Can’t wait to have another reason to go back

Excited to finally get this place as they are having their fried and grilled chicken available now for take out for $24. I got the fried option and the chicken was crispy and very flavorful. It was definitely brined. The chicken came with 2 sides that you can choose from and I got papaya salad and eggplant salad. They were ok, very salty and less flavor than anticipated. I also got the griddled rice as a side which was awesome. Try this when you get a chance as their other option is the family dinner which is kind of hard to get a reservation for and quite pricy.

This place is a treasure. The food is amazing and I hope to come back soon.

Everything was great at this place. Starting from the environment and decor in the restaurant.
