The Business Bistro

We loved everything about Le Tour! The space looks great and the food and cocktails were great. The happy hour specials are a bargain too. But what really stood out was the incredibly friendly and professional service. We will be back.

To start, the hostess could not find our Open Table reservation which had been made a few weeks in advance. It did not matter because the restaurant was not full, but had it been full, it would have been a problem. Then when she finally found it, after we were seated, she said we had given her the wrong time which was incorrect and why would you say that to paying customers who were already unsettled because of her error? On a more positive note, The bar area and the whole restaurant is charming and the noise level is perfect, plus the views are very nice. They seemed to be short on servers, like many restaurants these days but when we got served, our server was very pleasant. The food, overall was good, not great. My partner had the burger and that seemed to be the best entree by far. Both the chicken tahini and chicken cassoulet were fine, but nothing extraordinary. I would go back because it is such a pleasant place, just wish the food was as good as it was at Found.

We often drive past great food options in Glencoe, Winnetka, and Wilmette to come to La Tour, French bistro food never gets old, and LT does everything right. BTW, if you want real pommes frites, this is your place. Chicken Tagine is outstanding too. And we like the way the big space breaks down into smaller areas. We'll keep coming back

We love this restaurant. We would have preferred a slower pace of service this time as the main course arrived barely after we had finished our oysters and before we had finished our cocktails.

Excellent meal celebrating husbands 60th. The chicken tagine was very good, as was the filet mignon. The mussels and lamb meatballs for starters were excellent

Le Tour features French and Moroccan food. The chicken tagine is delicious and was enough for an “encore meal” the next day. My friend had the butternut squash bucatini with Italian sausage and crisp fried sage leaves and that almost gave me entree envy. The wine recommendation was spot on, according to my friend. I had the Tunisian rose cocktail. This place also serves the best profiteroles I have ever had, bar none. The service is excellent and the entire staff is friendly. I plan to go back.

The tagine is definitely a large enough portion for two women. It was delicious but felt that maybe the server wasn't honest about portion size to increase total of bill. Other portions were appropriate.

This is a restaurant right in the center of downtown Evanston, at the street level of the Bank One building, at the intersection of Davis & Orrington streets. The food was delicious. We had the duck pate and the lamb meatballs as appetizers - both delicious. (They serve it with a warm, very crusty bread for the pate. We would have preferred toast points or anything easier than the bread they offer since it is difficult to pull apart into edible-size pieces.) The entrées were a chicken Vesuvio, and a spaghetti pasta with bay scallops. Again, they were excellent. The chicken breast was moist and tender and the scallops were fresh and sweet with a delicious cream sauce. The service was incredibly nice and attentive. They have plenty of covered and heated, outdoor seating that made it a pleasure to sit outside despite the upper 50s weather.

The only really great restaurant in Evanston. Menu is varied and interesting - you can negotiate the tasting menu if you want to share and add another entree - you can then take home the dessert if it will travel. Non alcoholic mocktail was a surprise. Service was excellent even though one of our group made her jump through the hoops. One of our favorite spots and the place is beautiful!

Excellent service and excellent food. Everything we had was delicious and the portions were plenty.

Creative, Delighfully crafted dishes with high class service. Made our Evanston stay memorable.

We were slightly disappointed with both food and service. We went for Sunday brunch. Salads, sandwiches weren't anything special for the price. My french toast was the exception. Service was very, very spotty. The server was pleasant but he completely forgot our appetizer, had to be reminded to bring drinks, and asked to refill coffee, water. It's a lovely location in downtown Evanston, but we will probably not return.

Visiting Evanston and thought it sounded interesting. Service was poor. We sat outdoors and the service was very slow and disjointed. I had tye mushroom kabob. The celeriac puree was so salty I could hardly eat it and I love salt. The lentils were undercooked and hard. Tenge mysgroins were undercooked and there was neither sumac or persaillade (parsley), both of which were in the menu description. I would have sent it back but it took so long to get service in the first place that I list interest. My friend's smash burger was only average and really a hamburger not a smash burger. Don't know why it is popular! Will never return.

Celebrating Bastille Day with Le Tour was great on a very pleasant day dining outside listening to an accordion player gave it the right vibe to celebrate the French holiday. The cava/rose special with oysters was great and shared an order of mussels as well. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Very nice time!

We had a delightful 75th birthday celebration over Sunday brunch at Le Tour that offers attentive service and an interesting selection of fine food and drink. Highly recommended for the food, ambiance and service.
