Tonight & Tomorrow At La Colombe D'or

Great place for any occasion! Historic building, nicely renovated and great atmosphere inside and out. Great service and food. Would highly recommend this place. Will definitely come back !

Visited for an anniversary dinner. We celebrated our wedding here 7 years ago. Amazing dinner, really good food and drinks. Try the Crab Graviote, wow, so fresh and delicious. The one thing we weren’t fans of was the caviar, particularly the buck wheat medallions, did not compliment the pricey caviar very well. The best part of this location is the building, it’s well preserved and absolutely gorgeous. If you’re able, stay in one of the rooms in the original building. Very cozy and each of the rooms are unique.

This restaurant has come up on occasion, in casual discussion, but I've never taken the opportunity to visit, I should have. This restaurant is located in a historic Montrose mansion, that is unbelievably well preserved. The staff was incredible, they were friendly and helpful and a joy to interact with. Also the setting and ambiance was delightful, there was upbeat French music playing for the outside back patio dining area, which was bathed in sunlight and showcased sculptures and beautiful landscaping. The icing on the cake was the food, it was delicious. We started out with a double espresso & latte. The espresso was very smooth and had no trace of bitterness, indicating quality beans and a proper heating temperature, great start. After that we ordered the date and goat cheese salad, which had amazing flavor and very well balanced ingredients. Next on the list was the montrose. Being the more traditional breakfast offering, it still was able to surprise and fulfill. The eggs came out hot and with great texture and flavor ( we opted for scrambled) and the veggie sausage, while a little drier than a meat based one would have been, was very tasty. Last on the list was the chilaquiles, one of my go-to for breakfast dishes. This dish did come out at room temperature, which was a negative, but the remaining experience was great. It was extremely flavorful, and had a bit of spice at the end of the bite. It was also quite a decent sized dish and I wasn't able to finish the entire entree. All in all, this was a wonderful experience and I will be returning.

The steel magnolia was a good choice and worth a try. I had them make a blueberry whiskey sour which was made great. Rushmore Academy was popular drink at my table if you like coffee. Unfortunately the drinks took a while to make and some were forgotten. Food had a delicate touch to it and lived up to the hype. Atmosphere was laid back with tones of luxury. I would definitely come back

First, a little bit of history. This restaurant is located in a mansion that was previously owned by the person who cofounded Humble Oil Company, which became ExxonMobil. Politics aside, this is a gracious, beautiful home with a wonderful staff. I would rate this as one of the best breakfasts inside the loop. Highly recommend.
