"The Verdict: Another River North theme park with bad pricey food. The 1900s decor is a big part of this massive French restaurant's allure, as seen in many posts on social media. But a dinner at this River North spot is the opposite of romantic or fun. The food is constantly underwhelming—the escargot tastes like pepperoni-flavored gum, and the dry rabbit leg with pasta only gets a little flavor from sweet prunes. And though the two-floor space is 10,000 square feet, it’s too cramped with tables and a frenzied staff. If the Belle Époque aesthetics of La Grande Boucherie prove too tempting, order the profiteroles and have dinner elsewhere. " - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
