  • Mother’s Day Brunch – Bubbles, Bites, & Mom

    May 11, 2025 only
    This Mother’s Day, skip the clichés and treat Mom to something truly fabulous: brunch at Brass Tack, tucked inside the effortlessly chic Waldorf Astoria Chicago. We’re serving elegance on a platter—and yes, we’re pouring bottomless mimosas, bellinis, and rosé like it’s our love language. From Blueberry Clafoutis with vanilla crème to Ahi Tuna Carpaccio on brioche with foie gras aioli (you read that right), our starters are a statement. And the mains? Think Maine Lobster & Carrot Frittata, a decadent Croque Madame, and Bay Leaf–Infused John Dory so good it might steal the spotlight—almost. Round things out with Japanese Pancakes and Blackberry Bundt Cake that practically scream "you’re my favorite child" with every bite. ✨ Whether you’re celebrating Mom, Grandma, or your brunch-loving self, this is the brunch move of the season. Reserve now and raise a glass (or three) to the women who do it all.

    The eggs Benedict were amazing. We camped the breads which were all really good. The monkey bread is better than dessert. Waldorf salad didn’t disappoint. Service was great as well. This place did not disappoint.

    It’s always a great experience when the hostess is as friendly as Alicia, it just sets the mood to the whole evening to be greeted so warmly and kindly by competent people. The service was great, the food was phenomenal as usual and the ambience is the best in the city. We love this place

    We waited 30 minutes before our server came over to us which was frustrating. My chicken was completely undercooked and not edible. As someone that frequents this restaurant, I was very disappointed and will be hesitant to return.

    Great food; very slow and inattentive service. We order fish entrees and salads and they were great! However, we barely saw our server and it took a long time to get our food!

    Wonderful evening starting with a warm friendly greeting when we arrived . Our Server and his co-workers provided excellent service and demonstrated comprehensive knowledge of delicious and complex cocktails as well as wines. The serving team always was one step ahead of any needs we had. The dinner menu selection has been somewhat reduced from prior visits but still provides ample variety. The meal was delicious .
