We got the chilaquiles omelette, breakfast sandwich, and hot chocolate. They were all delicious! The crispy tortilla chips on the omelette were the perfect balance for the perfectly cooked omelette.

Overall, the best restaurant I’ve been to since moving to Chicago. The appetizers were phenomenal, the main courses felt a little short, but still we’re good . And I did notice that they forgot to give us our onion soup and sparkling water we ordered

Superb Gourmet Vietnamese dishes with a French twist. The ambience is as special and ideally suited to the fare! You’re transported to Old Colonial Vietnam complete with the tropical flavor of banana trees, rotating ceiling fans, a multitude of French lanterns, scattered tribal rugs and old black and white vintage photographs from the French Colonial era. We particularly enjoyed the sea bass and the green curry shrimp. The cocktails were all excellent!
