Great place, for great cuisine with great service. We dined for brunch on Halloween celebrating two October birthdays. I ordered the Croque Monsieur with several Bloody Mary’s, the others ordered the Crepes Grand-Mère au Gratin, French Quiche Lorraine and the Eggs Benedict. The room make over looks really good. Nice job. Theo, our server was attentive and accommodating. I want to say “thank you” to the gentleman sitting at the back table with four lovely ladies. Before he left, he told Theo he was buying us a round of drinks. I think the gentleman was Chad, the GM.but he said he didn’t work there! But I, sure it was him. Glad to be returning. Love their mussels, French Onion soup, Beef Bourguignon. I’ve pretty much tried everything on their menu. So you really can’t go wrong.

I walked past this restaurant one day and was surprised I never heard of it before. It has to be one of the best meals I have had in Chicago and it so reminds me of eating out in France except the staff doesn't speak French. Delightful menu, very nice portions and service and truly delicious bread! We were thrilled with everything and the prices were very good. I can't wait to go back.

Recommended for a good quality restaurant experience at a reasonable cost.
Location: the dining room is nicely decorated and warm. Friendly service.
Price: the price-quality ratio is reasonable, we spent $140 in two people ordering 2 appetizers, 2 entrée, and 2 desserts.
Food: We loved the beef bourguignon and the onion soup. The frog legs were chewy, the duck was served with too much sauce that made the overall flavor off balance and overly sweet. Thumbs up to the desserts (profiterole and crème brulée).

It was a really great experience but unfortunately it was the last day of service. My first time trying onion soup and i would love to have it again!!
Duck was sooooo soft and delicious
Crème brûlée is something else, I love it!
Best food experience for the long time!

A favorite neighborhood spot! The onion soup, vegetarian cassoulet, and gateau Breton were incredible. Great brunch option too, especially when the sidewalk seating is available!

Went here hoping for good French food and wasn't disappointed. The vibe of the restaurant is very French and the food was great.
We ordered the cheese plate, carb cake, french toast and croissants. Everything was delicious, even the fries that came with the crab cake were on point (golden crispy on the outside and soft on the inside).
The flavors are subtle and mixed well and the drinks were fresh. Kudos to the chef.

Overall: A fantastic French dining experience without being over-the-top classy, a great option for date night or to impress.
The good: Came here for a private event with a free 4-course meal along with wine pairings. The menu was fantastic. The pear salad was a perfect combo of sweet and creamy/savory with bleu cheese. The scallops were my favorite, drizzled with honey and a buttery polenta - a perfect combo. The lamb shank was also top notch, super tender and falling off the bone. The service was very friendly as was the main chef, who gave an intro and outro speech.
The not-so-good: The private room we were in was pretty cramped. The gateau breton was a little lackluster compared to all of the other magnificent courses, but it was still great.
Atmosphere: 9/10
Service: 9/10
Food: 9/10

Great food, very good service. Really enjoyed my meal, the onion tarte was delicious. I had the steak and frites and the fries were the best I've had with steak and frites. Too bad they are closing soon. Great restaurant!

The meals were great! It was not what I expected for a French cousine for the portions size. It got a great taste but still offer a considerable amount of portion size.

The lamb shank with couscous was the absolute best meal I've ever had and was the perfect way to end a long weekend in Chicago. Cosme, our server, was also very friendly and attentive. I wish I could eat there every month.

5 on 5.I only have praises for this place.I had been meaning to eat here and finally went to celebrate my birthday.This place is a little heavier on the pocket but totally worth it.The ambiance of this place is a weird mix or relaxing and eclectic.We ordered a few items from the menu and the menu from the chef's special and each and every dish was cooked to perfection. The beef Wellington and the lamb shank were my favorites, closely followed by frog legs and filet mignon. Amazing service from start till end.They even surprised me with a creme Brulee , on account of my birthday and that just put the cherry on top.

Delicious french food in a homey, unpretentious space. Would highly recommend the escargot, gateau Breton (shortbread dessert). Service was incredibly nice - amazing spot for a low-key date night. Will be coming back!

The food was soooo good. But the service was amazing. Attentive warm and friendly staff! Loved the experience

Really solid French dishes. We tried 2 new menu items (the Wahoo & beef Madeira) which were both tasty. Profiteroles for dessert were okay, but maybe that is my preference and I just don't like them in general. The creme brulee was better in my opinion.

Enjoyed Sunday’s $32 Prix Fixe Menu with Hit/Miss dishes. Brown Bag. One of a kind addictive TIRAMISU. Unusual for me to like seared SALMON and big veggies. There is a general sweet taste to all dishes. 🤔 SpringRewards.

I came to this place recommended by a friend and it didn't disappoint service was good and friendly, food was hearty and flavorful and the environment was really cozy plus I couldn't resist taking a picture of the presentation of the food because it was really pretty, I just wish the pictures could show how pretty the dishes looked like when they arrived to the table. Host was nice and friendly too, he stopped by our table a couple times to see how everything was going and our glades were never empty.

Absolutely the best French food in Chicago!!!!!! The food and wine selection was incredible. We love going on 1/2 wine nights! Just a piece of advice- get the soup and get the chocolate lava cake!!!!!! So goooooodddddd!!!!!!!
