Chez Joël is a charming French restaurant in Chicago, offering delicious food at a good value. The patio dining experience under a large tree with a fountain and flower baskets adds to the lovely atmosphere. Guests appreciate the friendly service and excellent timing of food arrival, allowing for post-meal conversations. The menu features authentic and creative Southern French cuisine, with dishes like the fish of the day, soft shell crab, duck liver, salad, and almond cake. The fish is pan seared with seaweed decoration on top of vegetables, and the pate is excellent with mustard seeds and fruit pickles. The almond cake has a crunchy shell wrapped around it, with a perfect size. The wine selection is excellent, making it a great spot for a romantic dinner or special evening out. Service is warm and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality of food and ambiance justify it. It is highly recommended for those seeking an intimate and upscale dining experience in Chicago, especially on summer evenings outdoors.
