To our friends, family and neighbors:

After 22 years of serving Chicago, we have made the very difficult decision to close our doors. While our hearts are broken to see Blackbird’s journey come to an end, we are humbled to have contributed in a small way to Chicago’s incredible restaurant community for over two decades, serving as a place of warmth and hospitality while all along the way, building lifelong friendships with our team, guests and partners. 

Blackbird’s dining room has celebrated countless moments from birthdays to first dates to engagements & weddings and more often than not, a simple dinner date to reconnect with friends or family. Thank you to the guests who continued to dine with us night after night, celebration after celebration. We feel honored to have offered a place that will forever be a part of these joyous memories. 

It’s difficult to find words to properly express our gratitude for the team members that were the beating heart of Blackbird for so many years. Blackbird would not have soared as high as it did without the dedication, creativity and passion given by each team member who walked through the doors. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 

While it’s difficult to close this chapter, this isn’t a true goodbye. We are grateful to continue to serve our loyal guests across our collective of restaurants. As always, we’ll save you a seat,

Donnie, Eduard, Paul & The One Off Hospitality Team
