Bordeaux Lounge by Turquoise

You must get the Su Borek (Turkish Lasagna). So good!

The ambiance was elegant and the service was friendly and fast. Our server was Mine. she was amazing taking care of us and a party of 27 across from us. She was super sweet and calm. the food was delicious and the baklava dessert was the best baklava I have ever had!

Negatives: Staff seated us by the exit door We waited 15 minutes before a server took our order Server forgot our wine and then still had it on the receipt Our entire order came out at once, we had 30 seconds to enjoy our appetizers Our entrees got cold very quickly as the exit door was repeatedly opened (not sure why they have tables there and/or use that exit in winter) Pros: Food was decent Live music was a nice touch Server tried to apologize by giving us a bottle of wine (drastically different than what we originally ordered though) We were excited to try this place, but it severely underperformed. We won't be going back.

What a Hidden Jewel. We could not of been more pleased with all the food presented from the appetizers to our mail meal selection. When back in Chicago we will differently have on our list to visit again.

Food was very good. Lots of delicious options. We were told that kids were not allowed in the Lounge area, however, which is where we had our reservation for our large party. when we pointed out that they literally have a kids menu on their website, so we thought it was kid friendly, they agreed to seat us but told us that our kids could not cry because it would ruin the vibe. Of course we felt like we should just leave. Thankfully, when we mentioned this to the hostess, she kindly made space for us on the Turquoise side of the restaurant. This ambiance was more suited to kids, so it was OK. Still, if I were to come back it would be without kids.

Great food , my favorite was the risotto it was perfection and the baklava was heaven sent.

Great wine and Mediterranean seafood. Our waitress was great and gave us a Baklava dessert on the house. The scallops and osso buco were amazing! 5 stars

Food was good and service too. We thought this was more of a French style, but it was primarily Turkish cuisine. Which was very tasty. The entrance was one building over through the Turkish restaurant as well.

Went here on a Thursday night for my birthday and the food was amazing. We love small plates so this place was perfect. Furkon was the best server and knew a lot about the wine selection. I took a chance and got the risotto and it DELICIOUS. Will be recommending this place to all! The dessert was light and a great way to end a yummy dinner.

Furkon recommended the best Turkish wine. The service was great and very attentive. The food was great the beef and chicken kabobs were so well seasoned! The whipped feta and Su Borek were great to start with! Most end meal with baklava and Turkish Coffee!

One of the best places I've eaten at. All the way from appetizers to the main dish it was 10/10. My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed it and I absolutely will be back. Perfect for a date night, dinner with friends, and really any special nice occasion

Solid little wine spot, nice enough to be a good time, not so bougie that it's outrageously expensive. I'd definitely go back for another casual night out.

Vegetarian options: Actual good food that just so happens to be vegetarian

I think this restaurant could be great if they put in a little more effort! Tables were wobbly and we had to move, candles all around the dining room, but none of them lit, and server was no where to be found for the last hour of our meal. We literally had to go find our server just to get the check. Food was decent, not outstanding. The jazz was the highlight of the night! I recommend getting a bottle of sparkling (only $40!), closing out right away, and staying just for the jazz.

Ordered Turkish dish. Generous portion size. Pleasantly surprised. Rich, satisfying flavors. Delightful bites. Well-seasoned, perfect cooking. Left full, satisfied, without breaking the bank. Highly recommend for filling, delicious meal.

Tried Turkish dish. Variety of veggies. Satisfying for vegetarians. Flavors rich, well-balanced. Perfect seasoning. Served hot, fresh. Side of fluffy rice, warm pita. Attention to detail in presentation. Visually appealing. Highly recommend for delicious vegetarian option in Turkish cuisine.
