We recently visited for a date night, and the entire experience was exceptional. Sergio welcomed us with genuine warmth, and the ambience set the perfect tone for the evening. We began with the potato truffle soup topped with crispy onions—absolutely magnificent. My husband ordered the steak frites, and I chose the salmon; both dishes were beautifully prepared and delicious. Our server, Junior, was attentive, polite, and wonderfully accommodating.

We happily drive more than 50 miles to dine at this gem, and it never disappoints. Highly recommended!

Consistently exceptional in food and service. Their seasonal summer corn and truffle soup is to die for (served in a cappuccino cup and I thought they mistakenly made a latte lol). My other favorite is the salmon tostada. Great happy hour menu if you like a light tasting of variety. Hope to be back soon before the next seasonal soup change!

I had the pleasure of celebrating New Year’s Eve at Aboyer in Wilmette, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, elegant, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of hospitality that makes you instantly relax and settle in.
We enjoyed their special three‑course New Year’s Eve dinner, and every dish was executed with precision, creativity, and care. The flavors were beautifully balanced, the presentation was stunning, and the pacing of the meal was perfect. You could feel the thoughtfulness behind each course — nothing rushed, nothing overlooked.
The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about making the evening special. It’s rare to find a restaurant where the culinary experience and the hospitality are equally exceptional, but Aboyer delivers both effortlessly.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Aboyer is a true gem on the North Shore. We left already talking about when we’d be back. Highly, highly recommended.

We went in for the Valentine’s dinner and had a really great experience overall. The menu was well thought out, everything was paced nicely, and it felt like a step above the usual “special menu” you sometimes get on holidays. Chef Michael really hit it out of the park, and Sergio was charming as ever, which made the night feel relaxed and genuinely enjoyable.

We started with the scampi Provençal and the potato truffle soup. The scampi were cooked perfectly and had great flavor, and the creamy goat cheese polenta underneath was a nice, rich base without being too heavy. The crispy leeks added a good crunch. The potato truffle soup was smooth, comforting, and nicely balanced—not overpowering on the truffle, which we appreciated.

For mains, we shared the Dover sole and the duo of chateaubriand. The Dover sole was light, delicate, and really well done—simple and clean flavors that let the fish shine. The chateaubriand was the opposite in a good way: rich, hearty, and very satisfying. The tenderloin was cooked beautifully, and the short rib raviolo added a lot of depth and flavor to the dish.

Dessert was a strong finish. The chocolate soufflé was warm, light, and full of chocolate flavor, and the raspberry sauce worked really well with it. The poached pear financier was also a nice change of pace—warm, not too sweet, and the gelato and mousse on the side made it feel a little more special without being over the top.

Overall, it was just a really enjoyable dinner. The food was consistently good across all courses, the service was friendly and professional, and it felt like a great way to spend Valentine’s Day. We’d absolutely go back for something like this again.

What an incredible dining experiences at Aboyer! Every item from appetizers to main course to desserts to specialty cocktails are a flavorful delicacy. And the wine selection is stellar. Service is always top notch. From Sergio at the front greeting and seating, and every wait staff member, especially a seasoned waiter, Alfredo, who I have had the pleasure of having at my table many times, is impeccable. And I have had the pleasure of attending private events at Aboyer, and have been just as impressed by the cuisine and service. Chef and proprietor Micheal Lachowicz and staff continue to create French culinary magic on Green Bay Road in Winnetka.

I ate at Aboyer earlier this week and what can I say. Sergio greeted us with a welcoming kind smile and led us to our table and to our surprise our server was his son Jr. OMG the Country Pate and the Chicken Liver Mousse, I would push someone down a flight of stairs to get these in my belly. Of course, I ordered what I consider to be the king of salads the Salade Lyonnaise, come on, Frisee tossed in a beautiful vinaigrette with Bacon, croutons and a poached egg (its like breakfast meets a salad and said lets make a love child). Moving on I chose the French Dip, what can I say this was perfect for me, I just could have used more blue cheese (I ask for some extra, which Jr. graciously brings me a bit more). I didn’t have enough room for Dessert because I already ate way too much but I had my eye on the Financier de Saison and will have to come back for. Finally a heartfelt Thank you to the Aboyer Team for making me feel both welcomed and fulfilled. I’ll be seeing you.

What a fantastic place! It’s easily my wife’s favorite — and now one of mine too.

From the moment we walked in to the very end of our visit, everything was exceptional. The atmosphere is the perfect blend of cozy and elegant, and you can truly feel the heart of a family-run business behind it all.

The food and drinks? Incredible. Whether it was the mussels, steak, salad, or the lobster roll — every dish hit the mark. You simply can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

A special shoutout to Sergio — he’s the future of this place! His service was outstanding. He’s knowledgeable, personable, and clearly passionate about what he does. A true professional who made our experience even better.

Highly, highly recommend this place. We’ll absolutely be back — 100%!

Thank you for a wonderful evening!

A delightful meal w everything tasting good. The escargot was delicious, but a bit hard to eat w the v flaky biscuit. Quite messy. Salmon and steak were both tender and desserts were spot on. Nice service and would want to return and try more of their menu.
