Went here to celebrate our anniversary and were not disappointed. I got the lamb shank on recommendation from our waitress Kelsey, who was fabulous, and it was so tender it fell apart with a stern look. Absolutely delicious on a bed of ratatouille. My husband got the steak frites, which is his favorite. The Maison pâté mousse is excellent— even my husband enjoys it and he has never liked pâté. This place is a real gem!

Superb steak frite with herbed butter, portobello mushroom with Brie, grilled vegetables, country pate, fresh French bread, and seasonal drinks – they never disappoint! Our favorite French bistro, hands down! And the blueberry cheesecake special

This is my second time dining at this charming bistro. The atmosphere is effortlessly casual, yet the menu is thoughtfully designed to complement a good glass of wine. From indulgent oysters to rich river pâté, the appetizers set the perfect tone for a delightful meal.
The risotto is expertly prepared, and the salads are bursting with freshness. The skate steak delivers bold, deep flavors that pair wonderfully with a glass of red wine, while the ribeye—tender and perfectly enhanced by its sauce—was a standout. The special halibut dish is light yet generously portioned, making it truly satisfying.
To end on a sweet note, the passion fruit cheesecake strikes the right balance between tart and creamy, pairing seamlessly with coffee. And if you have a sweet tooth, you’ll find an enticing selection of desserts to explore.

Came here for my anniversary and was not disappointed in the slightest! Our waitress was so incredibly nice and helpful helping my wife and I pick out something we’d both really like.
I got the chateaubriand off their seasonal menu and it might have been the best fillet I’ve had at least this year alone, if not ever! The cherry limeade I got with my meal was also fantastic. Very tart, not too sweet, and definitely high quality. My wife also enjoyed her duck dish and the wine pairing.
If you’re coming for an event or even just for a nice night out, you can’t go wrong here!

Had a great experience dining here for a family birthday. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers, main courses, and deserts that we ordered. I had the Veal Chop special which was outstanding and cooked to perfection. Our server was very attentive and did a great job all evening. We will definitely be coming back here. This is a local gem to Lake Zurich!

Great places to to and have a amazin dinner, without being rushed. The service was great. You can have a conversation at the table without having to shout. The venison was delicious and it is very rare to find a restaurant that serve sweatbreads. My wife loved. This was her favorite dish at Le vichyssois.

Celebrated our anniversary at B&J Bistro, absolutely the best French cuisine from chef Masato. Ask Stephen (the owner) for wine selection, you cannot go wrong with his advice. To add more of the effect of surprise to our reservation, I asked for five-course meal chef testing choice. It was amazing adventure and real pleasure to meet the chef in person and listen to his story for each dish he served. We are in love with this local unique place and will be back for more great food and service. By the way, their menu is very affordable, including drinks.
