This was my second visit to this delightful restaurant. loved the place even more on the second time. The staff is amazingly trained and knowledgeable. The wine selections were delightful. The menu is delicious as well as imaginative. The chicken liver mouse with a bourbon gellee was amazing. Each course was better than the one before. Do not cheat yourselves this beautiful space and friendly staff are waiting to treat your minds and your pallets. Do not walk but run to this restaurant on Lincoln.

After eating at Entente, it's obvious that everyone associated with this place is obsessed with making, and sharing, memorable food and hospitality. The food is exceptional, the service is spot on, and the vibe is fun. This is a gem in the neighborhood, and well worth a trip if you don't live in Lakeview.

Exceptional meal this evening. The scallops were especially delicious and the meal was made even more memorable with Liz's wine pairings. We'll be back soon!

We loved everything about this swanky new restaurant in Lakeview. Every single dish was masterfully crafted and full of flavors- from a not so basic biscuit, kale salad with a Thai touch to an amazingly creamy but still light maitake and truffle fettuccini. Do I need to mention the desserts? Beyond delicious! Throw in a very attentive service and great ambiance, and you have a prescription for a successful dining experience and a fun evening out. A must try!

This restaurant does not disappoint. We chose the tasting menu and opted for cocktails followed by a bottle of wine recommended by the sommelier. Cocktails were fabulous. The wine paired wonderfully with each course. Food was outstanding. Wonderful job! Up there with some of the best restaurants we have ever been to.

Pretty good dinning experience with the tasting menu. It’s a little bit pricy especially given the fact this restaurant is relatively affordable as a Michelin restaurant. The tasting menu comes with a 10 course menu. The presentation of the dish is very beautiful and I like the duck and salmon the best.

Beyond my imagination. Moody feels interior so quiet noise level and exceptional background music. Food was work of art and a symphony of taste. You can go by courses ($150 for two guest) or choose your own menu. Excellent dessert and cocktail in the city.

This is hands down some of the best food I've had in my life. I've been to some crazy fancy restaurants. This one is all about the food. I've never had so much unique flavor and with no bullsh*t. The staff is extremely friendly and they try really hard to make everything just right. I don't even drink alcohol that often but their recommended alcohol pairings were on point. The price point is very fair and the quality is far better than I would have expected. Their desserts however are on another level. They are the most creative art pieces I've seen on a plate. I felt like I should have been paying hundreds of dollars for my meal. I would highly recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Entente! Having been to a couple Michelin star places in Europe this spot had a vibe all to its own which we loved. Very attentive service and more than anything down to earth servers who could have a normal conversation with you. They were amazingly knowledgeable on the dishes and food but then could switch off and just chat about what they're watching on Netflix...literally. We also loved the fact that they had hip-hop playing. Coming on a Sunday night was a plus as it was not very busy and a bit more intimate. The tasting menu is a must (literally don't know why you're coming here if not for that), the Wagyu was amazing, the sweetbreads were so fricking good you wouldn't even know it's a sweetbread, and the dumplings were Umami in a bowl. All in all highly recommend, can't really knock our experience for any negatives, they did a great job.

On a whim while at a conference in Rosemont and found this gem and they had seating available. Already had dinner so just came for some Alan carte items as a group of (2). Service was Michelin quality, wine was perfectly chilled and in proper glass. Food came also artfully plated and was great. If I had to make a suggestion, I would say that some of the food seemed just not hot enough. Overall great spot, ambiance, design and food.

Lovely Gem of a restaurant. Beautiful dessert menu with pairings, great conversations at the bar. Approachable. Nice that one can walk in and sit at the bar without reservation, and have a Michelin star experience without much fuss. Do the tasting menu if you have the time and don’t skip the. Read service.

I'm extremely impressed with Entente. I've visited on three different occasions and have always had a wonderful experience. The bar program is definitely one that deserves accolades, my personal favorite the Bees in the Trap is masterfully crafted and perfect for sipping alongside one of my favorite dishes the Wedge salad. The duck dish is also delicious which is accompanied by duck spring rolls (pictured). Service is always attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend to locals and visitors alike.

They suggest about 2 portions per person but we had our fill at 5 for 4 people. Everything was so delicious and the crab was an amazing! Try the chocolate dessert too 😋

Entente is a must visit for anyone wanting to experience a meal like none other. I had the opportunity to taste the Berkshire Pork which was perfectly paired with a peach sauce and quite literally melted in my mouth. I also cant go without mentioning the expert bartender, Jonathan. He hand crafted some of the best original cocktails I've tasted to date.

Amazing dining experience, a must visit when in Chicago. Very creative dishes, adventurous and very sumptuous. They truly deserve their Michelin star. Thank you Entente for such a fantastic evening. The liver dish was absolutely the best I have ever had. The creativity on that dish was just beyond words, kudos to Chef Brian Fisher! The service was just 5 star, Kevin was very accommodating and always there for us. We cannot commend enough the level of service the team at Entente offered us. Our dining experience was truly memorable. I wouldn't hesitate to visit again on our next trip to Chicago. Keep up the great work guys and gals.

Impeccable service. Food was good. The only complaint was that the scallops were too salty. I'm sure that it was a one off. Great prices for the type of food. Excellent overall.

My wife and I finally arrived at Entente around 9:30, two hours late due to flight delay. We were greeted at the door with a friendly smile, our baggage was tucked away in the back and a wonderful evening ensued. We explained our preference for sangiovese based central Italian wines and Patrick (the sommelier) returned with a bottle from Sicily and said "here, try this, if you don't like it we will get you something else". The wine (not on the wine list) was spectacular and we were treated to a wine experience we never would had otherwise. We ordered four plates: the wedge salad is a play on a very traditional midwestern salad with green goddess dressing, sounds sort of ordinary, but it's not, it's a very fresh explosion of flavor, one of the best things I've had anywhere. The carolina gold rice was essentially truffle risotto, creamy and tasty, The pork belly was 'cubes' of pork belly with a mustardy peanut sauce, unusual and delicious; The short rib was paired with kimchi and was very interesting, the pork flavor was the essence of bar-b-q while the kimchi was quite hot. Patrick offered some ice cold Riesling to cool off the heat. Overall a very excellent restaurant. My wife and I had a great (late) evening with wonderful food and wine. Josh, our server, was professional and friendly and did a great job helping us navigate the menu and brought a real friendly 'vibe' to our evening. Highly recommended, I can't imagine visiting Chicago without dining at Entente.

Entente was fabulous. Highly recommended. Well worth it’s Michelin star. Our server was tremendous and the sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable even with deep experience of Riesling wine, a rarity amongst his colleagues. Food was inventive, tasty and well portioned. Definitely give this unique restaurant with a great vibe and atmosphere a try.

Had an amazing experience here. We showed up the night before Valentines Day without a reservation. They seated us at the bar, which we like. We ordered drinks, which are amazing....try the Orchard Old Fashion! The bartender had great recommendations for food so we followed her lead. The Short Rib is so good. It took some time for food, but they made up for it through the taste and their hospitality. Excellent service, excellent food and a fantastic time. Thank you for such a good Valentine’s Day
