In town for business and George Trois came highly recommended (Thank you, Susan!). Perfect time of year as Chef Michael is showcasing a beautiful tasting menu featuring perigord truffles. Everything was absolutely delightful from the great service (Thanks, Abran!) to the fantastic wine pairings (Thank you, Brian!) My favorite dish was the Coquille St. Jacques “En Tuxedo” which was scallop and truffle encased in a butter pastry, swimming in a lavish champagne-caviar sauce. Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much and such a great honor to meet you and your team. George Trois is a MUST VISIT for any true gourmand.

Once again what an amazing experience! Their menu will take you to a completely different experience. Every little detail is well guarded by the chef and his staff of well seasoned servers that will make sure your experience is way above expected. This is what I call fine dining… you will enjoy it!

Went out after a grueling vacation to our local watering hole and was very impressed with the latest 5 course (always get the 5 course) prixe-fixe- I’d never been a fan of truffles but tonight my fiancé and the sommelier helped change my mind offering a lightly oaked Chardonnay and not judging me too much for hating red wine. It always makes me happy to be back home when he takes me here!

The latest G3 menu is fabulous. A trip down memory lane with dishes from Restaurant Michael and Deux Gros. Three or four courses but each is full rather than bites as for tasting menus. The Dover sole is highly recommended. Really worth ordering as a special treat.

The 12 course tasting menu amounted to the best meal my wife and I have ever eaten, bar none. Not in America, but everywhere we've been in the world. The creativity, the craft, the technique, the HEART in every course was apparent from the moment the first plate landed on our table. I've included 3 of the 4 desserts we had. Each better than the last, last of which was a tubular chocolate disguised as a cigar in an ashtray plate, complete with "ashes." Portions were perfectly sized to leave us satisfied without feeling bloated. It was our 40th anniversary, and I can't imagine anywhere I'd rather go (with the possible exception of Tuscany, but that's another story). It's definitely a "special occasion" place for us. We've been regulars at Lachowicz' Aboyer, and before that Michael restaurants. His yearly menu tribute to major influence Julia Child will bring tears to your eyes, and at a very affordable price. Plenty of free parking in the neighborhood adds to the appeal.

We went on a Saturday night and were surprised there was only one other couple dining, especially given the outstanding menu and artistry. I learned the hard way on the bill. The problem is the surprise mandatory wine prices. The meal itself was $185 per person, and very fair. With tax, mandatory tip and a $5 "order" charge, that came to $497.02 for both of us. A lot, but fair given the excellent quality. But where I got suckered was on the wine, and it was never told to me in advance. The only choices were $195 or $275 tastings per person. That, with tax and tip, more than doubled the total cost for dinner to over $1000 for two. A very unhappy surprise. I figured I could have ordered a bottle or even two of $100 or so wine, or even just a few wines by the glass. But no --the only choices were the two wine tasting menus, The wines were very good, but not worth $40 per pour, nor a mandatory $500+ for two. Given many other fine restaurants, I unfortunately won't be back here. I'm not interested in wine costing more than the meal nor $1000 nights out.

George Trois is an outstanding fine dining experience. The design of the menu is great. The preparation of the cuisine is great as well, with the flavors of the ingredients front and center. This is a city fine dining experience without the city problems.

My wife and I dined at George Trois this past weekend, and we can say that the tasting menu blew our expectations out of the water. The service staff and sommelier are impeccable without being stuffy. While the chef coming around to the tables added a nice touch and made us feel important.The truffle-themed tasting menu was sublime, and the desserts changed our perspective on what can be possible with such a high-end product. Usually, when we splurge on a tasting menu, we have a few favorites, but every single dish and wine pairing stood up well and was excellent in its own right. This was one experience where we remember every single dish, because they were all our favorites. Portion size was perfect, as we left feeling satisfied, but not over-stuffed.This experience can certainly stand up to any Michelin 3 Star restaurant in Paris, and it is one of the best experiences we have ever had.We cannot wait to visit again.
Incredible tasting menu experience. Restaurant is impeccably designed, servers are wonderful and the food was more tasty and impressive than Alinea. We were thoroughly impressed, and will definitely be back!

Truly a memorable Birthday for my lovely wife. The 10-course Michelin status service, food quality with Wine-paring was amazing! Located in the charming North Shore of Chicago, Winnetka, Illinois. Alfredo our 1st Class purser and Francis our Wine Sommelier were just perfect and made the event even more special. A must visit and a worth trip out of Chicago!!!!

This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The tasting menu and wine pairing was exceptional, the service was the best (shout out to Francis and Alfredo for their attention and ability to walk through the food and the wine pairing), and the decor was elegant while also comfortable. The quality and impeccable technique of the food simply cannot be described. This easily beats some of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Paris. If you’re in the Chicago area, you simply have to go here.

Incredible experience with delicious, thoughtful and approachable French cuisine. Beautiful decor, amazing and friendly staff that were passionate about the food and wine. I think the best Fois Gras I’ve ever had and a pheasant pastry that changed my life. Highly recommend you do the wine pairing, Francis does amazing work.

One of the Best French style restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. The chef came out and greeted us. It was an impeccable experience and unforgettable night. Thank you so much George Trois. Absolutely delicious ? 5 stars and higher if I could rate higher. Alinea definitely has competition but also Alinéa is suppose to be airy food so you won’t get full , the other difference is that Alinea is in the city of Chicago and George Trois is in the North Shore.
GoodVery nice
