Our daughter’s wedding was celebrated there last week and the experience was simply outstanding. The spectacular venue was enhanced by an attentive and professional staff. The meal lived up to every expectation we had for a Boka group restaurant. They were extremely flexible and accommodating when it came to our floral arrangements and table organization. Throughout the entire evening Brian Crawford the Director of the venue was present and available when questions arose. I thought it was an extraordinary experience and would recommend this venue enthusiastically and unequivocally positively.

Stunning venue for the couple who want to have a unique experience for their guests. I personally love the vintage feel and the layout. One could have multiple setups and it will be gorgeous and breathtaking! I would love to work with anyone with a similar vision. The multiple rooms allows you to wow your guests and have a great flow.The food ermmm Boka Catering outdid themselves! Delicious

Place is very clean and nice. And the workers are not too bad overall. That would be the place to go if you had to go.

I wish I could give many more stars to this authentic French bistro. The warm ambiance and interior design brought be back to Paris immediately. The staff is professional and serious about their work -- very refreshing in the USA! I've had several dishes, each one equally delicious and beautifully plated.One evening, the chef and his family came to our table, and we were honored and a bit star struck! BRAVO!!!

I've only been here for Happy Hour, but it was a great experience both times. The staff behind the bar were engaging regardless of how busy it got and the food was good. I see now that it will be closing soon and is only doing private events until the end of the year. It's unfortunate.

Food wasn’t that good or worth the price

It was honestly just ok... But for an over $500 meal for 4 people, I probably won't be back.
edit: Checking in to see how things are going over there. I just wanted to see if business is booming yet.

Decent French restaurant in river north. The space is very cool. Steak tartare, a little smaller portion and blander than other places I get this from. Lyonnaise salad very very good but also a smaller portion than used to getting. Had a couple cocktails. No complaints bur the pours were low. I also take issue with the 3% added to the tip. I understand why, but I feel that it's dishonest to customers. The prices should be 3% added on the menu prices. This is not a tax. It's a necessary addition for the restaurant to survive. However, adding it onto the check is just completely dishonest to patrons. I will go likely go back, I do like their menu and have more things I want to try

Our second visit! Food and service were excellent! I was the only person to ask for a doggie bag. My serving of tenderloin was generous and excellent. The others who had octopus, trout and scallops cleaned their plates. Highly recommend!
Le Select was an excellent choice. The steak tartare, white sardines, grilled octopus did not disappoint at all and started out the evening on a high note. The mains were excellent as well. Service impeccable.

We had a lovely evening at Le Select. Our server Corine was professional, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Our food arrived on time and was beyond delicious. I highly recommend Le Select and will definitely be back. Thank you!

Randomly came across this French restaurant and decided to give it a try. Walking in the ambiance is warm, busy, sophisticated, yet simple. Our server was very attentive and informative about the menu. We came for our anniversary so we were welcomed with two glasses of champagne. The food was absolutely delicious and this restaurant is underrated in my opinion. Every single thing we had tasted was of quality. The wine pairings were on point as well. My only complaint is the menu is fairly limited. I would probably come back here next for drinks because the bar looks like a nicely designed and decorated one that seats many. Overall a 12/10 experience.

Lovely space, service at at the bar and at our table was a solid 5/5. The food was okay, but nobody was raving out their apps or entrees, 3.5/5. Deserts were 4+/5. Fairly quiet for a Saturday night.

Beautiful atmosphere. Professional service, The Sommelier Tom was outstanding in making well considered recommendations. Expansive French focused wine list. Food was excellent although certainly not that of a Beer focused Brasserie by the French definition. The offerings are traditional French Bistro dishes stylized to a restaurant level of preparation and presentation. Strong recommendation.
