Large groups and private dining in Chicago
Chicago rooms where a cited page names an email for a large party, a chef’s table, or a hard cap on the regular book. A service charge for six is not, by itself, a booking path.
Difficulty on this page is a Midnight Table estimate, not official Resy or OpenTable data, and not a guarantee of a table. Each note was checked on the date printed under that restaurant. A restaurant can change the rule after that.
Alerts is $12 a month and watches the drop. Concierge books in your name, on the restaurant's own platform. Membership and pricing. The Guestlist is the free weekly letter.

Where a source prints a clock time and leaves off the time zone, the time is quoted that way. A seat count is quoted only when that page prints one.

Questions
Which Chicago restaurants publish a large-party email?
Bar Mar: parties of 13 to 20 email barmarreservations@grgmc.com. Bazaar Meat: parties of 13 to 20 email bazaarreservations@grgmc.com. HaiSous: parties larger than 10 should email the restaurant. The October 24, 2026 page does not print that address in the sentence, so use the inbox on the live site.
Which Chicago books stop at six?
Ciccio Mio’s reservations page caps parties at six and does not describe a larger-party path. Kasama’s dinner book is parties up to six. Asador Bastian’s separate seat is the ten-seat chef’s table, not a 20-person dining room.
Does Midnight Table sell reservations?
No. Midnight Table sends alerts and helps with planning and booking. Every reservation is made in your own name on the restaurant's own platform. Midnight Table does not buy, hold, or resell tables.
