Chez Moi

I walked past this restaurant one day and was surprised I never heard of it before. It has to be one of the best meals I have had in Chicago and it so reminds me of eating out in France except the staff doesn't speak French. Delightful menu, very nice portions and service and truly delicious bread! We were thrilled with everything and the prices were very good. I can't wait to go back.

Recommended for a good quality restaurant experience at a reasonable cost. Location: the dining room is nicely decorated and warm. Friendly service. Price: the price-quality ratio is reasonable, we spent $140 in two people ordering 2 appetizers, 2 entrée, and 2 desserts. Food: We loved the beef bourguignon and the onion soup. The frog legs were chewy, the duck was served with too much sauce that made the overall flavor off balance and overly sweet. Thumbs up to the desserts (profiterole and crème brulée).

Went here hoping for good French food and wasn't disappointed. The vibe of the restaurant is very French and the food was great. We ordered the cheese plate, carb cake, french toast and croissants. Everything was delicious, even the fries that came with the crab cake were on point (golden crispy on the outside and soft on the inside). The flavors are subtle and mixed well and the drinks were fresh. Kudos to the chef.

Moules were excellent, I can’t get enough of the broth. The quiche lorraine was so light and fluffy but tended to be dull after a few bites. It could have been complemented with the tanginess of the salad but it fell short of any dressing and was wilted, you can see from the photo. I was also charged for the hot water I asked for. They put tea in the tab but I only asked for hot water to calm my throat. The staff was nice but I believe I could have a better experience.

As a date spot, Chez Moi is not bad. The ambience is there for a romantic setting, but I did find that it was a bit too dark inside. I went on a Tuesday evening and it was very quiet with only 3 other tables sat besides me. I had a reservation and was sat quickly. I got the foie gras (not pictured), special of the day which was Chilean sea bass, and the apple tart. The portions were bigger than I thought they would be, and the flavors were well done. The sea bass was tender and had a clean and fresh taste; I just wished that the fish to vegetable ratio was adjusted. For the three dishes I got, I noticed that they seemed overly sauced and so it felt soupy and messy. Service was friendly and attentive.

Overall: A fantastic French dining experience without being over-the-top classy, a great option for date night or to impress. The good: Came here for a private event with a free 4-course meal along with wine pairings. The menu was fantastic. The pear salad was a perfect combo of sweet and creamy/savory with bleu cheese. The scallops were my favorite, drizzled with honey and a buttery polenta - a perfect combo. The lamb shank was also top notch, super tender and falling off the bone. The service was very friendly as was the main chef, who gave an intro and outro speech. The not-so-good: The private room we were in was pretty cramped. The gateau breton was a little lackluster compared to all of the other magnificent courses, but it was still great. Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Food: 9/10

5 on 5.I only have praises for this place.I had been meaning to eat here and finally went to celebrate my birthday.This place is a little heavier on the pocket but totally worth it.The ambiance of this place is a weird mix or relaxing and eclectic.We ordered a few items from the menu and the menu from the chef's special and each and every dish was cooked to perfection. The beef Wellington and the lamb shank were my favorites, closely followed by frog legs and filet mignon. Amazing service from start till end.They even surprised me with a creme Brulee , on account of my birthday and that just put the cherry on top.

It was a really great experience but unfortunately it was the last day of service. My first time trying onion soup and i would love to have it again!! Duck was sooooo soft and delicious Crème brûlée is something else, I love it! Best food experience for the long time!
