Blackbrick has earned national recognition on its own terms — named among America's Best New Restaurants by Bon Appétit, honored with a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and built by a chef the country has come to know through Food Network. The acclaim points back to one place: the table in Hyde Park.
