One of my top places for tasty french food. Filled me up in no time. Looking forward to a return trip. This place has a nice atmosphere. Food is like a restaurant in Louisville I liked.

My heart aches at the thought of this delightful restaurant that transports me to Paris closing due to the pandemic

This is my and my husbands go too special occasion restaurant. The food never disappoints and hits the spot every time. Their beef Wellington is supreme and is HUGE! We were able to split it with leftovers with 3 people, amazing value for what you get. One of the best negroni's I have had in Chicago. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

We had such a wonderful experience sitting at the bar and ordering our wine and dinner. Service was friendly and professional and the food quality was perfect! There have been many changes over the years and they've survived them all maintaining excellent food quality and preparation.

Excellent French restaurant in the West Loop. Loved the escargot and cassoulet, and highly recommend the soufflé.

We love eating out. Last night we found this superb restaurant which we didn’t know before. We passed a delightful experience there with high-qulity cooking and a courteous crew and a distinguished cuisine. We added this place in our list and we will certainly go again very soon. We deeply recommend.

This is one of my favorite French restaurants in Chicago, and it has some really good French onion soup. On my most recent visit, after starting with the soup, I ordered the Cassoulet, which had 4 types of meat and came with white beans. It was delicious, and I ate every last bite. The wine options here are on the pricier side, but not completely outrageous. You can get a decent bottle in the $60 range. Parking is generally easy to find during the week (we recently had no problem finding a spot right in front of the restaurant on a Wednesday night), but parking can be difficult on weekends.

Had a wonderful dinner here--this is probably one of my new favorite French restaurants in Chicago, and I can't believe I hadn't been here before! The French onion soup was amazing, and the portion size was much larger than other French restaurants in the area. The steak pom frites was also excellent (this was average sized portion but I still didn't finish it because the French onion soup was so large and filling, even though I split it with my husband). I don't remember which cocktail I ordered other than it had gin and was tasty. I was not a fan of the soufflé though, and can't understand why others are raving about it. But everything else was fantastic and I'll order a different dessert the next time I come back.

Beautiful and tuber romantic, great place to take your date... that's if you can find and walk through the right door! There aren't any signs so just look for the big brown door right next to The Little NEXT Door. Go figure.

Chicago has no shortage of great restaurants but this place is my absolute fav! Anytime I'm in town on a Tuesday, I have to dine in for their Prix Fixe special. You can pick one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert for only $38. The food is SO delicious. Today's visit started with the Oxtail Gnocci (it had a much prettier French name but then I'd have to google how to spell it. :) ) The appetizers have so many great options that it's so hard to choose. I narrowed it down to three and went with the server's recommendation and it did not disappoint. For the main dish, I ordered the streak frites. It was very good but pretty standard as far of that combo goes. Not pictured is the highlight of the meal-the pistachio soufflé. This is one of my favorite desserts and eating it is an actual experience. No lie. I can't wait for my next Tuesday night visit. Til next time!
