One of my favorite Chicago restaurants that always makes a repeat visit on my list. The service is outstanding and the ambiance to die for. Outside is a magical oasis and inside is charming and elegant. So many delicious entrees to enjoy I could pick just one. Save room for dessert. The frites are a must. We tasted each others meals and all agreed the lamb shank was the winner over duck and steak.

Was my first time there with my wife. I seriously don’t have enough words to complement this restaurant. The whole experience was excellent. Our server Nancy was fantastic, friendly, helpful. Food was great, I have to say the onion soup, I could drink a gallon of it! Sooo good! Seriously. Even on the end of the night, our valet parking guy Juan Carlos was so attentive and nice. You guys are doing a fantastic job. I have to mention the ambience of the whole place inside and outside is breathtaking. Definitely a place to come back over and over….

Love this quaint little French restaurant! We enjoyed the green salad, coq au vin and seafood stew. Everything was delicious. The portion sizes are large and the prices are very reasonable.

We really enjoyed our dinner here on St Val 2023. The stand out dishes for us are the mussels & the duck.

Great local spot with amazing French food. I’d highly recommend any special they offer, especially the soups. The mussels are also ridiculously delicious when they’re in season. Also, don’t skip dessert!

We loved sitting on the patio and started with escargot, french onion soup, wine, and complimentary bread. Our table got a variety of different entrees and despite being extremely full, had to end the evening with dessert. The lemon sorbet alone would draw me back.

We made a reservation for the outdoor patio on Thursday evening, and we loved it. Hidden gem! Well worth the 10 minute drive from downtown. I started with the clam special, the filet was perfectly cooked (the sauce was so delicious I wanted to lick the plate), and blueberry tart special for dessert. My husband had escargot, steak au poivre, crème brûlée. We both loved our food — you could tell there was a lot of thought and attention put into each plate. Prices were also reasonable. Would definitely go back next time we’re in town.
