What Nikita Doroff dislikes about Schwa:
Although the food served here doesn't quite reach the high standards of Michelin-rated restaurants, the portion sizes and the number of servings are also on the smaller side. The ambiance is dimly lit, and the decor feels a bit outdated. Furthermore, the table arrangement can feel somewhat cramped. It’s possible that the restaurant's BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) policy helps draw in customers. View all feedback.

Visited Schwa for a special occasion all the way from Hotlanta. Absolutely loved innovative cuisine without pretentiousness from the CDC. His juxtaposition of East meets West ingredients with various cooking techniques truly shines as you taste each dish. Each dish was absolutely delicious, thought provoking and wish I had time to ask ideas behind each and every dish I tasted tonight. Portion was just enough in my opinion, but I did feel like i could have one more bite on every single dish because they were that delicious. Yes, it is a bit noisy and space is limited, but I personally thought it sets Schwa apart from traditional Michellin star recipients because they ARE different. Byob was awesome asI was able to bring my own collection. I 've already recommended Schwa to a colleague of mine visiting Chicago in Sept, and will visit next time I 'm in Chicago. It 's hip, fun, and intimate with pretty much open kitchen . If you want to know what that means, please visit Schwa. You won 't be disappointed.

What a fun night! If you’re looking for Michelin quality and innovation without to pretension, this is it. Loved being able to byob from my own collection and doing shots with the kitchen. The food was incredible and inventive. Mind blowing flavor combinations. Took off a star for the amount of food. Was put off that some of the 12 courses were combined. For instance a drink and bite meant to be consumed together counted as two courses and this left me wanting when the final course came. A fantastic experience though.
