A new restaurant is taking flight in NuLu.
Located in Hotel Genevieve’s former Rosettes space, Byrdie’s opens Thursday, Dec. 12. It features French cuisine with Southern influences, and comes from the husband-and-wife team Jenner Tomaska + Katrina Bravo, of Chicago’s fine dining establishment Esmé — a Michelin star restaurant.
The semi-upscale menu features items like Scallops St. Jacques, Hokkaido scallops in a vermouth + mussel broth, and Tournedos Rossini, a French steak dish featuring American Wagyu tenderloin, foie gras, and black truffle.
There are also menu items “pour deaux” — that’s “for two” in french — as well as salad, dessert, wine, and cocktails. Prices range from $10 appetizers to upwards of $100 for some entrees.
Jenner Tomaska is a three-time James Beard Award nominee, including as a finalist for Best Chef in the Great Lakes this year, with quite the Instagram presence — 116,000 followers and counting.
