Pierrot Gourmet Chicago

I have to say I was expecting perfection from this restaurant having read their Google reviews. However, as much as I appreciated a very polite and helpful staff, the food just did not rise to my expectations. I ordered Quiche Lorraine, which would be amazing if it wasn't for the very fatty big pieces of bacon (if you're a bacon lover, then you're in luck; however, I am not a fan of bacon that's not made to be crispy). The menu says that they use smoked ham,but the quiche was not made with that. The petite salad on the side did not have any veggies that I've seen on the photos from other guides (no radishes, fennel, or grape tomatoes- excuse me: I got one half of a grape tomato;) ). The salad is more like garnish, having barely any dressing. The kids loved their chocolate croissants ( yes,they're really good,but they would have been better slightly warmed up),and their fancy PG triple chocolate drinks. The latte and the lavender cappuccino were just okay. The lavender cappuccino had all of the lavender flavor/syrop at the bottom of the cup, and I wished it had tasted as well as it looked. The breakfast hash my husband ordered was decent. All in all, it is a very nice breakfast restaurant,but it would have been better if the flavor and the food were paid more attention to. I am sure that these can be improved, especially after seeing how dedicated and hard-working staff at Pierrot Gourmet is. Finally, I have to say that the patio offers some lively and pleasant seating that we really enjoyed.
