La Serre

Mediterranean restaurant · West Town

@infatuation

"La Serre in the West Loop is relaxed and chic, buzzy but never too loud, and the French-Mediterranean menu is thoughtful despite the presence of big mirrors that say corny things like “Merci Beaucoup.” Dishes like creamy angel hair pasta pair perfectly with 15g of caviar on top, and there are more-than-satisfying takes on less-pricey classics like delicate tuna crudo, sweet duck chinoise, and juicy filet mignon. A spot like this can seem like it’s trying too hard, but like a staged marriage proposal done well, the greenhouse decor has just the right amount of flowers and pink and red everywhere. It’s not tacky, it’s romance." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen
