“We had such a wonderful server who answered all our questions without hesitation. She elevated our experience with the superb service we received and that is not to put the put under the service. Oh, by no means at all, the food and wine were spectacular. My wife had the halibut, which I have to highly recommend after having tasted it and I got the Beef Wellington. The Beef Wellington was great but is really meant for more than one person regardless I got to have more subsequent days so good for me.

Highly recommend enjoying the food here. We definitely expect to come back to try more dishes. So many offerings but my stomach can handle only so much.“

“Had an amazing experience at La Grande Boucherie. The food was absolutely fantastic, but what really stood out was the hospitality. The chef who runs the restaurant actually takes the time to walk around, talk to guests, and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. We ended up having a great chat with him, which made the evening feel even more special.

Bane, who took care of us, was amazing as well , super attentive, friendly, and just a great chap all around. He really made us feel looked after without ever being overbearing.

Great food, great people, and a genuinely warm atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

Their French Onion soup will bring a tear to your eyes... and their Cornish hen is out of this world! Graham and his crew here are kicking out some amazing food you can't find everywhere in Chicago and this place is becoming a fan favorite with our company and some of our vendors/partners. Great place to take a client, date, or just some friends.“

“We loved our meal last night for Valentine’s Day! pair the duck bread with the squash soup. It was absolutely delicious. The goat cheese salad with the apple dressing was equally as good. My steak was cooked perfectly. We had an amazing espresso martini and a delightful crisp lemon cocktail. My husband also liked their old fashioned. We split caramel ice cream with pineapple and it was a great finishing touch. The Moscato d Asti never disappoints either this is our fourth Valentine’s Day with Brindille and it has been our tradition ever since we have been together. Each year is different and this year was definitely better than the last! Their servers are great too. We are looking forward to our future years here. Thank you. ❤️“

It’s a little pricey at $7500min spend but boy do they take care of all the details, have great spirit on site, and they threw in well-timed complimentary sparklers for the entire group for toasts. Erica on site was incredibly warm spirited and lovely. Erin is the one plan it all through! Highly recommend“
