    Amazing dinner, however, the initial server passed us off mid meal after, I commented that 2 courses came together and I felt rushed. Then the appetizer I ordered 3x came out burnt. It’s the best Bistro outside Paris and here in Chicago that’s a win. The staff was kind but it felt off kilter.

    Excellent food (improved quality since the remodel), same for the service. Drinks quite good, likewise the wine; note the wine list has more pricey wines. Room is brighter, but noisy as ever.

    Le Bouchon is the best French restaurant in this city and it’s not even close. Worth it every single time.

    Love this pllace. It never disappoints. The food is french with a modern twist and they mix up the menu in fun ways. The closest thing to being in France that you can find.

    We dined on a Monday night; 1/2 priced bottles of wine… need I say more?! We shared the Peking duck for 2 and, and, sat at the very small and cozy bar. The Duck was so flavorful and cooked to perfection, we had the seasonal squash soup; which is just spicy enough to be interesting and satisfying but, not so much that it overwhelms- the service is quick and efficient and the room is small and charming- the best French bistro in Chicago!

    The late seating is the best dining experience in Chicago and there’s no convincing me otherwise.
