Feld

West Town · Chicago · Planning guide

We would choose Feld for a produce-led tasting that changes daily, with the kitchen working in the center of the room and everyone dining together. Two $225 menus cost $540 with service before tax and drinks. Choose elsewhere if a guest needs vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free or egg-free cooking, or if you need a published finish time before another event.

How a meal at Feld works

Yelp reviewers describe one ingredient coming back in several preparations, with staff explaining the growers and the choices behind each dish. Book Feld if you want to try several preparations of a few ingredients. Don't expect a series of different luxury proteins.

Some Yelp reviewers had trouble hearing the quick explanations because staff serve everyone at the same time. That matters when the ingredients are the point. Ask how the evening runs, and keep your plans after dinner flexible.

How much does dinner at Feld cost for two?

The FAQ puts the menu at $225 a person "before tax and service fee." Feld adds a 20% service charge instead of asking for tips, and says the money goes to the staff. Two menus come to $540 before tax and drinks, and you don't need to tip on top.

There's an alcoholic pairing and a non-alcoholic one. Both change daily, and you can buy them with the reservation or ask on arrival, but the site doesn't give their prices. There's also a bottle list and a few rare spirits. Corkage isn't allowed.

FAQ with price and service charge · Beverages

The food calculation is 2 × $225 = $450, plus $90 service = $540. Tax and all drinks are extra.

When do Feld reservations open?

Reservations are on Tock. The FAQ's general rule is that each month opens at noon on the first of the month, two months ahead, so all of June opens at noon on April 1. Feld now also announces release dates through its newsletter and social media. If you're after a particular month, get on the newsletter.

Changes need at least a week's notice. Cancel inside that week and Feld tries to refill your seats from the waitlist. If it can't, "you will be charged the full cost of the meal." Reservations are transferable, and Feld suggests handing yours to a friend if something comes up that late. For emergencies, email info@feldrestaurant.com. Feld has no phone, so email and messages through Tock are the only ways to reach it.

FAQ with release, cancellation and transfer rules

Confirm the release time zone, initial payment, deposit credit and regular party limit on Tock. Ask Feld how long dinner takes, and keep your finish time flexible.

Check the dietary limits first

Feld can't accommodate vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free or egg-free diets, because each day's menu is built from what the farmers send. Vegetarians are told to come in late spring or summer, not autumn or winter. Any other restriction has to be raised when you book, or at least 24 hours before the meal. The FAQ says restrictions first mentioned on arrival can't be accommodated. Feld also says the evening isn't suitable for anyone under 12. You can email to ask, but a child would eat the full adult menu.

Feld is in West Town, at 2018 W. Chicago Avenue, not the West Loop. The 66 and 50 buses stop a short walk away. There's no valet. Chicago Avenue has meters, and Hoyne Avenue, a block away, has free parking with no permit needed. The only dress rule is "no shoes, no shirt, no service." Photos are fine without flash, but ask before filming staff. Ask Feld about step-free access.

Compare before booking

Elske offers à la carte as well as a set menu, while Feld serves one daily menu without supplements. Two Feld menus cost $540 with service before tax and drinks; Elske's set menus are $301.60 with its removable surcharge before tax and tip. The figures include different charges.

EL Ideas explicitly accepts vegan diners, subject to confirming the request. Feld excludes vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and egg-free diets. Feld's one-week change deadline is also a commitment to make before fitting the meal into uncertain travel plans.
