La Grande Boucherie Chicago

Parisian style restaurant, amazing food, superb ambiance. If we could give 6 stars for service we would. Very knowledgeable up to the high standards of great French restaurants. We tried a good array of dishes where all were delicious, we enjoyed very much the super fresh oysters from East and West Coast as well as Macaroni au gratin. Had a lobster bisque that was delicate and fulfilling. Every dish that we tried was on point. The ambiance, quiet during lunch time, elegant and sophisticated. We highly recommend and will come back.

A French-style restaurant, beautifully decorated and true to Parisian culture. The menu is excellent, and the dishes are top-notch. We weren't very hungry, which slightly affected our experience, but everything we tried was fantastic! The service was impeccable. The only downside for me was the limited space between the tables and the small waiting area for reservations. It was very cramped. We will definitely be back!

La Grande Boucherie offers an exceptional dining experience, blending classic French cuisine with modern flair. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance is both elegant and inviting, with a charming, rustic décor that makes you feel like you're dining in a Parisian bistro. The menu is a celebration of high-quality meats, and each dish is expertly prepared. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a casual meal, La Grande Boucherie consistently delivers an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended!

We went to celebrate my friend birthday. She loves French cuisine. We had the reservation on the first floor, where the White tablecloth section, but we ended it up on the main floor, for our luck. We met our waiter from the other French restaurant (Marcheza) His name was Philip. We were so happy to see him again. He always makes us feel excellent that we are the most important people in this word. Our food from the beginning to the end was mouth watering. Nice presentation, good taste. We were there around 5.30 on the weeknight and get pretty busy. Thank you Philip to make our birthday celebration memorable. We really appreciate it. Food, atmosphere, service exceptional...

Review for La Grande Boucherie, Chicago La Grande Boucherie was fantastic! The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with a Parisian vibe that makes it special. The staff was phenomenal, attentive to every detail and making sure we had a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the filet, New York strip, lobster bisque, mushrooms, mac and cheese, and shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail was our favorite—so fresh and flavorful! We finished with the profiteroles, a perfect dessert. Great food, amazing service, and a beautiful setting—highly recommend!

Such an elegant place. Even before this was the building I was dining at, I pointed out the building to a friend for its beautiful exterior architecture. So much detail went into this place outside and inside. The inside is filled with custom Art Nouveau and you truly feel like you’re in another world. The food and cocktails were delicious. The only thing I wasn’t a fan off was the dark creme brûlée. The Maple Leaf Duck Duo was amazing. Service was great as well!

For my last night in Chicago we decided to check out La Grande Boucherie. I had been to the DC location so I was excited to check out the one in Chicago. This is a stunning French restaurant with 2 floors for seating. We sat at the bar upstairs and had the best experience with Matt as our bartender! Amazing service, excellent drinks (best espresso martini I’ve had) and great atmosphere. I always value great service and Matt certainly provided that. I had an amazing time and definitely highly recommend!

Our first experience here was OUTSTANDING, the food and Steve’s service were both amazing. The whole staff worked so well together and were insanely on top of things, food was fast, tables crumbed quickly, and silverware pinned right away. The mussels had this thick bacon and an almost creamy broth, best mussels we’ve ever had. The star of the show though was the pork belly dish, it was one of the top dishes we’ve ever had, it was next level. The second experience we had, we came for our anniversary and it was good but not nearly as great as the first time. They were understaffed and the server had at least 10 tables, so service was slow understandably. They also had changed the menu, the mussel recipe changed and they took the pork off the menu. We got the same steak we got the first time as well and while it was good, it wasn’t outstanding. It was disappointing how much changed between 2 experiences within a month of each other. Hoping they bring back the pork dish because it was amazing and we told everyone we know about it!

Marco did a great job making me feel welcomed and provided top class hospitality. Definitely recommend.

Marco at the bar was great! Very personable, great recommendations and attentive even though it was busy. Highly recommend!

Marco is great! Extremely knowledgeable and excellent service! Merci Marco, c'etait in plaisir!

I was having the worst Thanksgiving holiday, but this place turned it around! The food was excellent, and the portions were generous! The cocktails were both impeccable, spirit forward and necessary. But the best part was the staff, honestly. They were kind, personable, and attentive without being overbearing. I had to get their names, so you can see for yourself: Marco and Dimitri. This restaurant gave exactly what I was looking for and more, and saved my first solo Thanksgiving.

We loved the cocktails and the steak tartare tasted great. Visually, however, the steak tartare looked a little bit gray, which could have been from being prepared ahead of time and plated to order. This did not affect the taste at all. We ordered a cheese appetizer and the dish was good quality although not our favorite. The steak although cooked to the correct temperature was not of great quality. Definitely not of any quality to justify the price tag. It was thin and had a texture as if it had been tenderized and could have been better seasoned. The second entree was the scallops. Well cooked, but having corn AND a corn puree made the whole dish taste of corn. We expected a bit more depth of flavors as we would expect of a similar restaurant. (I believe they have since changed this entree so will need to go back to try it!) The desserts were good. No complaints there. The service was amazing. The ambiance was great and the only comment I have on that is to pick music that meshes well together and not jump to different genres. It should add to the theme of the restaurant.

Made reservations here for my mom's birthday dinner after seeing rave reviews from other yelpers. Service was top notch from the minute we walked in and were offered complimentary coat check. But our waitress was great too - we were seated upstairs on a busy Friday evening so both levels were lively. It was actually a bit loud for my tastes - would've been more enjoyable if they had turned the music down just a little but we managed. The ambiance was also a little festive with the holiday decorations up, which I thought they did a really nice job of - beautiful interior overall. For drinks we started with the French martini, Heure Magique, and Chet Faker. Out of those 3, the Chet Faker was hands down my favorite. I'd actually skip the Heure Magique - a little too medicinal tasting imo. We also got the beet salad as an appetizer, which was a surprising construction but still delicious. For my meal, I got the mussels but they were just ok. To finish, they brought out pistachio ice cream with a candle in it for my mom and we also ordered the yuzu matcha tart and profiteroles - all the desserts were very good. All in all, it was a nice meal in a lovely restaurant with great service.

Cocktail was the highlight of the meal but albeit me ordering two the 2nd one couldn't hold a candle to the first to suffice to say consistency is an issue. My Wagyu burger was honestly a snoozer as was the spinach. Doubt I'd return. Interior as well as exterior is decorated well so for those that care about ambiance above all else this is the place for you

Food: 10/10. The meal was delicious. We ordered the wagyu carpaccio as a starter and it was so beautifully presented. The flavor was insane. I got the prime steak frites (8oz flat iron steak) and I understand why it's a popular item. The fries were so addicting and perfectly seasoned. Dessert was the yuzu matcha tart which has to be one of my favorite desserts I've had at a restaurant. Service: our server was so attentive and made sure to cater to all our needs. The chef even came out to say hello which was such a memorable experience. Ambiance: absolutely stunning. They were putting up lights for the holidays and it added an additional touch of elegance to the restaurant. Highly recommend!

Verdict - worth the try & will indulge again! Lunch was relaxed & not rushed. Here's the breakdown- Space. 10/5. Grand interior with dramatic arches and lofty ceilings; even the marble mosaic floors are classy! Food: 4.5/5. For the most part, the dishes matched the opulent surroundings. Wagyu carpaccio 5/5- served on a pink salt slab, talk about WOW factor. Great presentation but this also means it is salty... definitely do not skimp on carbs here and have the delicate carpaccio with the grilled toast points Scallops 4.5/5 perfectly cooked tender scallops! Not a huge fan of the chunky bean ragout and sausage beneath but so happy with the cook on this protein Namesake burger 5/5 - flavorful double patties with great toppings from the sweet and salty pickles to the crunchy fried onions and fat slabs of smokey bacon. Yummy duck fat fries Mac and cheese 5/5 - SO cheesy! Creamy and delicious, fit for all Mac lovers Creamed Spinach 4/5 - pretty standard and borderline watery. Could use a dusting of crunchy bread crumbs for contrast Matcha Yuzu tart -5/5 - bitter meets sweet and creamy in this tasty dessert. The tart shell was a tad on the hard side but probably because it had not fully thawed. Flavors are on point! Drinks - 5/5. PJ Breeze is a bright & refreshing mocktail of sweet, sour & minty notes Service: 5/5. Our lunch server was a welcoming and attentive gentleman. Never would have guessed he had only started a month ago! We had a wonderful visit. Thank you, Stefan! We will be back to try the fromage board, croque madame and more!

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful. For atmosphere, I would definitely give it 5 stars. The service was also great. We had the Lyonnaise Salad that was the best I've ever had- not sure where they get their bacon but it is to die for! My children had the Pappardelle Bolognese that was so delicious, we ordered an extra one. We also had the steak that was not bad but I would suggest sticking to the French options and leave the steak for a true Chicago steakhouse. Overall though, very beautiful restaurant and a lovely evening!

PHENOMENAL DINING EXPERIENCE We started our dinner with some drinks, I got the pomegranate cocktail (the name is slipping me ) and my friend got a mocktail - both were super refreshing and not overly sweet and were great accompaniments to our appetizers. We decided to go with the wagyu carpaccio and fois gras mousse. I was delighted by the flavors of the fois gras - it was creamy and smooth with an added cherry jelly layer at the bottom that helped to provide a little acidity/sweetness to cut through the fattiness of the fois gras. That being said, the fois gras was really light and didnt feel overwhelming on the palate The meats: really great! I'm not an expert on steak but the ribeye and dry aged New York strip were both delicious. We got the bernaise sauce and truffle butter to go with it (as recommended by our server) and was beyond satisfied with what was presented to us. The cuts were cooked to a perfect medium rare, tender but with a slight bite/chewiness :) Despite being stuffed at this point, we still ended up getting three desserts - classic creme brûlée, their specialty black sesame creme brûlée, and the basque cheesecake. Classic creme brûlée was definitely our fave - texture was PERFECT, would come back just for this! I also really like the black sesame one, definitely unique and worth a try (almost a little bit Asian?) Ambiance of the restaurant was superb - elevated with the thoughtful interior design, absolutely loved the Parisian vibes!!

Ambiance: 5/5 The interior is beautiful. Very romantic, classy vibes. Service: 5/5 Everyone was super nice and friendly. Drinks and food came out in a timely manner. Drinks: 5/5 From mocktails to cocktails, we tried 4 different drinks and each one was tasty and refreshing in their own ways! Food: 5/5 Two words. Wagyu Carpaccio. This was one of our favs! The waygu was tender and paired so well with the toasted bread! We also loved the escargot and skirt steak! The escargot was rich, buttery goodness while the skirt steak had that delicious charred flavor and was seasoned to perfection. The black sesame creme brûlée was the perfect dessert to end the meal too! Overall, highly recommend coming here for a cute date or celebration with friends/ family!

What an amazing experience for my both my daughter and I for her 18th birthday celebration! La Grande Boucherie had been on my radar for a few months and I finally had the perfect opportunity to go. My daughter (who I have been posting about on Yelp since she was a toddler), is not only a foodie but a Francophile, as well. She developed her palate throughout my journey as a chef, and like many young girls, had Paris fever for many years. She began taking French in junior high and has continued to do so throughout high school. She even had an opportunity to participate in an exclusive language and culture immersion program in France this past summer, but turned it down to pursue a tech program in Tokyo. So when I suggested we check out this amazing new French restaurant for her birthday, she was all in. We arrived to LCB and were greeted by a friendly hostess who immediately ushered us to our table. I had no idea the restaurant space was so large yet very inviting. Warm lighting, beautiful stained glass panels depicting French life, a beautiful bar filled with couples, and a handsome solo diner I was discouraged from flirting with (by the teenager, of course) and accommodating wait staff. We felt so very welcomed. Our very friendly waitress came over took our drink orders, told us about the specials and asked if we had any questions. I knew what I wanted but my daughter had questions and asked for recommendations. The whole time we couldn't help but notice how the staff attended to each table's needs efficiently and with a smile. We placed our orders and shortly thereafter, and dish after beautifully plated dish arrived in a timely manner, with a smile. We were in heaven! My new adult ordered the cocktail PJ Breeze, a refreshing blend of pineapple, lavender lemon and mint; the steak tartare for an app and the whole grilled Branzino for her entree. Since I was getting over a cold I just had hot mint tea with lemon and honey; the lobster bisque for my app and the NY strip with bordelaise. We both had no idea how much food we had coming and ordered sides of frites and the smoked gouda mac n cheese. French food is so rich, decadent and filling we were pretty full by the time our entrees arrived, but we dove in anyway! Although we weren't able to finish our entrees, we happily had everything packed up and STILL ordered dessert. She had the yuzu matcha tart and I ordered the Boucherie crème brûlée. Delicious. What really made my daughter's day was when the chef came out to chat with us! She was elated and felt like a princess, which was the goal for me in ensuring she had an amazing birthday. La Grande Boucherie is a top notch, class act located in the heart of bustling River North which I highly recommend. Can't wait to go back!

The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance. The live music throughout dinner really set a nice mood, and I loved the open layout with two floors and a stunning bar right in the middle of it all. It's a great place to enjoy a night out if you're looking for a lively atmosphere. Our waiter was friendly, but it was a bit difficult to get his attention at times, which made the service feel a bit slow. For appetizers, we tried the escargots and the foie gras torchon. The escargots had a nice flavor, but I felt the taste was overshadowed by too many panko crumbs. The foie gras torchon, on the other hand, was pretty decent. The blueberry sauce served with it was a nice touch that really complemented the foie gras. We also got a PJ Breeze for our drink and it was very delicious and refreshing. For our mains, we went with the maple leaf duck duo and the filet mignon. The duck could have used a crispier skin, and the meat itself was a bit dry. As for the filet mignon, it was unfortunately too dry on the outside and lacked the seasoning needed to bring out its flavors. Dessert was a mixed experience. The yuzu matcha tart was delightful--not overly sweet and with just the right amount of citrus to balance it out. However, the black sesame crème brûlée was a letdown, with the black sesame flavor being too overpowering for my taste. Overall, the setting and vibe were great, but the food left me wanting a bit more in terms of flavor and execution.

I had been to La Grand Boucherie back in New York, and was super excited to getting over to this outpost now in Chicago. Even since Michael Mina's Brasserie in the Waldorf Astoria closed around COVID I've been in search of great French fare. In this particular case, not only was the food top notch, but the scene was truly of a lively Brasserie quality. We started with two of the cocktails from the drinks menu and both were quite delightful. We then progressed to the Steak Tartar and The Wagyu Carpaccio. The Steak Tartar is one of the best I've had in The City! We were tended to by two waiters, both were very knowledgeable, one was French and the other was a stalwart in The Chicago hospitality scene coming over from Chicago Cut. Brian (I believe that was his name), explained and highly recommended their high quality cuts of beef. They use top notch Allen Brothers Beef, and we progressed to the Bone in Rib Eye and the Filet Au Poiver over Mashed Potatoes. Both were exquisite! We polished these off with a lovely French Rose. For desert we tried the Black Sesame Creme Brûlée and the Chocolate Tart. Both were unique and of top notch quality. What I really liked is how lovely the scene was. I intend on coming back soon to better enjoy the lovely large bar. French is not what normally comes to the forefront in Chicago. It is nice to have such a destination back in the mix. La Grand fits that mold!

My friend and I had the absolute best time here for dinner! We came in on a Monday evening and had the full experience. The drinks were so delicious. My favorite was the Boucherie French martini, so sweet and just perfect. The appetizers were also very yummy, we ordered the onion soup & the wagyu carpaccio. For the main course we got the Boeuf bourguignon and the Seabass bouillabaisse, both very solid main course with deep flavors. When it came to dessert they shut it down with the Profiteroles! That chocolate drizzle was so good, i almost liked the plate. The crème brûlée was light and had the right amount of sweetness. 10 out 10 across the board!! When it comes to the service, Bryan was a phenomenal server. He was so informative, kind, and attentive. Along side him, everyone else was super friendly and so welcoming. The ambiance was definitely very classy. Loved the bar area and the high ceilings. It made you feel like you were in France. I normally never say this but this was one of my most favorite dinning experiences ever. I would highly recommend and come back. I'll be posting my full review on tik tok so you all can see! Look out for it there @deamontria.

This is a beautiful restaurant in the heart of River North, and while they do make a near perfect tasty dirty martini, our meal (other than the dessert - more on that later) left something to be desired. Mostly, that something was salt. I rarely find myself reaching for extra salt when going out to eat, but felt the need to add it to everything I was eating. My scallops were delicious, but the beans they were served on seemed to contain virtually no salt or seasoning. The same could be said for the escargot (a shame!!) and my friend's steak as well. We also had a mishap with my friend's wine - we both tasted it and agreed that the color and taste were off... like the wine had been watered down. We asked about it, and came to learn that the bottle did apparently fall into water in the back. We had to laugh at this while a new glass was promptly brought over - it could've been an honest mistake - but the weird cloudiness should have been a dead giveaway before serving it. The profiteroles for dessert were the real winner though - this was an absolutely delicious end to the meal. Overall rating 3/5 - maybe come in for just a cocktail and dessert.

This was such a fantastic place for a nice dinner, especially for a special occasion! The service and ambiance were amazing! The waitstaff were attentive, our water classes were constantly refilled, the table was promptly reset with each course. The food was very good and several dishes were amazing! We tried a variety of items and the standout items were as follows: 1. The garlic butter mussels appetizer (giant bowl of mussels and bread which can easily be shared between two) 10/10 2. The La Vie en Rose cocktail (super delicious and refreshing drink) 10/10 3. Filet Mignon Au Poivre (we ordered this medium and it was so good and perfectly cooked) 10/10 4. The basque cheesecake with berry sauce 8.5/10 (the cheesecake was super delicious and buttery but we wished that the berry sauce could have been a little less tart and more sweet). Other items that we ordered that we would skip next time: 1. Halibut fish entree 5/10 (the fish was too thick of a cut and too dry) 2. Sesame Creme brûlée 7/10 (this one was a unique dessert and very tasty but felt like there were too many sesame seeds on top that overpowered the taste). Overall would definitely come back and enjoy the delicious food and ambiance again in the future!

This French Brasserie inspired restaurant was well worth the visit! Kudos on the authentic classic brasserie vibe, the super fresh tasting seafood and the great service! Our server Phillipe was very knowledgeable about the menu and every dish we ordered tasted fresh and delicious, was beautifully plated and had plentiful portions. Must haves are the tuna tartare starter and the halibut! The tuna tartare tasted delicate and fresh and the halibut meunière was one of the best halibut dishes I've ever tasted! It was seared to perfection, leaving the filet moist and flaky. We also enjoyed the scallops which were crisp, sweet and tender. The vibe was chic, but approachable, with a beautiful bar located in the center surrounded by classic wooden tables with cozy leather wall booth seating, on both levels. Upon arrival, we didn't notice anyone at the entrance; however, found the hostess stand tucked away in a corner and were seated by the friendly hostess without delay. I would recommend La Grand Boucherie for date night, friends night or after work for drinks accompanied by their Plateau de Fruits de Mer (fresh seafood selections of oysters, shrimp, lobster, etc.). Go check it out! I will definitely be back!

Stefan and La Grande Boucherie invited me to come to the restaurant the other day and wow! We had a really wonderful night. We got some surf (the muscles), some turf (the steaks), and fromage of course (Mac n cheese)! Our server was incredibly helpful picking out the best things on the menu. He recommended the muscles and my steak and he was spot on! The whole place is just gorgeous as well. All of the tiles floors and stained glass windows let you know you're somewhere special. We were even seated next to a 4 piece jazz band which was so cool! We'll definitely remember this night for a long to come. Can't recommend La Grande Boucherie enough for any special occasions!

If you've recently walked around River North, you've probably seen this new beautiful restaurant. If you've also been curious how it is, I strongly recommend you give it a try! The interior space is absolutely gorgeous- perfect for a romantic night for two. The cocktails exceeded my expectations. I will come back to just sit at the bar for these drinks. Beautiful presentations and intricate flavors. The menu is well- curated, similar to its location in NY. The escargot, faux-filet bercy (dry aged NY strip), and halibut were standouts. The beer tartare is just okay, which is surprising given how strong the other steak options are on the menu. The closest competitor to this restaurant in this city is probably Mon Ami Gabi. While the vibe there is more traditional/ classic, Le Grande is trendy, lively, and fun. They share similar menu items, but the cocktails here are a step above. If you dine here, I certainly hope you get to interact with Philippe. He was both attentive and a great resource.

We had an exquisite time at this Art Nouveau-inspired Parisian brasserie. From the marvelous Belle Epoque building, to the beautiful stained glass and elegant setting, who knew that boucherie means "butchershop " in French? We raised our glasses -- La Vie en Rose, Fraise Cremeuse and a Boucherie French Martini -- then dined on escargot and Les Meules a la Poulette. I was not the bold one who ordered the escargot and I sampled one with trepidation. It was delicious -- buttered and garlicky -- but I won't try it again. My moules were in a delicious wine broth -- some of the mussels wouldn't open. My companions dined on steak frites and filet. I sampled both and I preferred the filet. I ordered the Canard a la Orange. The waiter suggested medium rare and I agreed but the duck was served well done. The sauce, however, was expertly prepared. Service was very professional throughout but started to break down at dessert. We ordered the Paris Brest, gelato and a Boucherie crème brûlée that I was looking forward to (made with carmelized black sesame). The desserts took a very long time to come out, so long that they comped all of our desserts. They were disappointing, most of all the crème brûlée which did not have a custard texture but was very liquidy. Overall, the food was of excellent quality and the service was fine, in this gorgeous setting. I admit that I was disappointed they did not acknowledge our guest's special birthday, though it was noted on the reservation.

Elegant and sophisticated; soft lighting, chandeliers and background music playing. Our host for the evening introduced himself and sat us at a beautiful open-air table. Great view, fresh air and a gentle breeze. We started with drinks; PJ Breeze; a mocktail with fresh flavors of pineapple, lemon, lavender and mint. La Vie En Rose; a cocktail with refreshing, delicate rose flavors. Then came warm crusty bread served with a rich creamy butter. Yes, please and thank you. For our first course we chose the french onion soup; loaded with caramelized onions, rich broth and a gruyere cheese pull. It was delicious. A watermelon salad with yellow and red cubes, feta cheese, balsamic drizzle and fresh mint. Absolutely, divine. Our second course included a whole branzino, deboned, flaky, mild and stuffed with roasted vegetables that were seasoned to perfection with fresh herbs and light spices. Pepper crusted beef tenderloin was served with the creamiest mashed potatoes and a green peppercorn cream sauce that was to die for. Any room for dessert? Always. Creme brûlée with fresh berries, basque cheesecake that was extra creamy, served with a berry coulis and bubbly champagne. Matthew and Steven were very attentive delivering impeccable service. Our dining experience was truly priceless. Would love to try brunch so we are planning to return soon.

Such an elegant place. Even before this was the building I was dining at, I pointed out the building to a friend for its beautiful exterior architecture. So much detail went into this place outside and inside. The inside is filled with custom Art Nouveau and you truly feel like you're in another world. The food and cocktails were delicious. The only thing I wasn't a fan off was the dark creme brûlée. The Maple Leaf Duck Duo was amazing. Service was great as well!

You could call this place La Grande Boujee! Everything was fancy yet down to earth and delicious! The ambiance was elegantly decorated but still charming and welcoming. My friend and I dined here and will definitely be returning with more company soon. We enjoyed our beautiful and tasty cocktails, with the La Vie En Rose being the highlight! Our server, Danny M, was fantastic! He took great care of us while offering suggestions that turned out to be some of our favorites. We started with the watermelon salad and escargot. The watermelon salad was so balanced and fresh. It was sweet but not too sweet. The escargot was deshelled already which I liked because it made it less messy and allowed the snail itself to be more flavorful. It was very tender and had a nice garlic and pesto flavor. For entrees, we had the steak frites and halibut. Excusing a few really tough pieces of steak on the outside, the steak was perfectly cooked and juicy with a delectable herb butter on top. I just wished it had more of that incredible butter! The fries were deliciously homemade and well-seasoned. The halibut had a wonderful crisp as a result of being pan-grilled with a nice sweet brown sugar and garlic finish. Both entrees were so good our plates were cleaned! For dessert, we took a risk and tried the Boucherie creme brulee with black sesame. It was so unique and different than the traditional. It was bursting with flavor from the toasted sesame seeds piled on top but the creme itself was kind of underwhelming. It was very different and fun, and though we enjoyed it we don't know if we would choose it over the traditional. We also tried the Profiteroles which were basically cream puffs with ice cream and chocolate sauce. They were difficult to eat but the homemade chocolate sauce was very good! Overall we loved our experience dining at La Grande Boucherie and hope others come see just how boujee the boucherie is!

My partner and I recently dined at La Grande Boucherie and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. As a vegetarian, I was especially curious about what this meat-centric restaurant could offer. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was elegant yet welcoming. The staff were attentive and accommodating, making sure I had plenty of options to choose from the menu. For starters, we ordered watermelon salad, foie gras, camembert/petite basque cheeseboard, and complimentary bread/butter. The watermelon salad was decent however lacked character. We thoroughly enjoyed the cheeseboard however we were under the impression the kitchen had not brought the foie gras appetizer out yet. After about 30 minutes, we inquired about the foie gras only to find out it was on our cheeseboard... as a vegetarian I did not appreciate that they decided to put this completely separate appetizer on the otherwise vegetarian cheeseboard. Prior to inquiring about the foie gras with our waiter, I had already eaten a piece of the foie gras thinking it was an accompaniment on the cheeseboard. That was definitely disappointing considering I discussed my dietary restriction with the waiter early on. For the main course, I opted for the choux fleur (cauliflower), my only entree option. Cauliflower was creamy & well cooked although it could have used more seasoning. My partner chose the lamb, which was tender and paired with a vibrant, flavorful sauce. The portions were generous. We got the macaroni au gratin and bayaldi for sides. Macaroni au gratin was some of the cheesiest mac and cheese I've ever had! The bayaldi was decent but again bland, even missing salt and pepper. For dessert, we ordered profiteroles and paris-brest. Both desserts were delicious and not overly sweet. To top it all off, we ordered peppermint tea and espresso which were both fantastic. While La Grande Boucherie isn't the first place that comes to mind for vegetarians, they did an acceptable job catering to different dietary needs. Overall, it's a solid choice for a night out in Chicago.

The restaurant's ambiance is stunning, with beautiful details that made our lunch feel effortlessly elegant--ideal for a first date. From the start, our server was attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations that did not disappoint. Beginning with the French onion soup and escargot, I was thoroughly impressed with every dish. The prime cut steak was cooked to perfection, and the meal was capped off by a delightful cheesecake with mixed berry syrup, which was truly the cherry on top of an outstanding dining experience. I will prioritize returning for dinner, specifically to enjoy a different selection of entrees on the menu and to experience the pianist.

Stoped in a few weeks ago for my mom's birthday dinner and we had a truly wonderful experience and meal! We came in at around 5:30 on a Tuesday and it was there was calm but buzzing atmosphere the host was lovely and seated us and we were promptly greeted by, Bryan. He was absolutely wonderful - radiating warmth and happiness! Offered us great cocktail and appetizer suggestions based off of our preferences and tat continued throughout the meal. For drinks we went with the Boucherie Old Fashioned and La Vie En Rose. Both were really tasty and well balanced. I especially liked the addition of the añejo to the old fashioned, it gave it a little extra complexity and depth of flavor. The La Vie En Rose was refreshing and a bit tart from the cranberry. Both were very enjoyable. Bryan offered carbs so of course we got the table bread with butter and a side of salt. Never trust anyone that can pass up warm bread and butter! For appetizers, we went with the Roasted Beet Salad and Steak Tartare. The tartare comes in 2 portion sizes, but the smaller of the 2 was definitely enough for at least 4 people to have a generous helping. The steak was tender and seasoned really nicely. I'm normally a fan of egg yolk with the tartare, but this was served with a whole (including the white) quail egg, which I didn't noticed until I emptied the shell into the tartare, I tried it any way, decided I didn't care for the egg, and enjoyed the rest of the tartare. The beet salad was unexpectedly delicious. I'm not a particularly big fan of beets or go out of my way to order them, but my mom is and he was her birthday dinner, and I'm happy to say I really enjoyed it as it's not your typical beet salad, salad. The beets accompany a crispy ricotta and pear filo pastry and greens. For our entrees, we decided to go with the mussels dijonnaise, boeuf bourguignon, and a side of the haricot verts au almondine - the portion of these were excellent and definitely shareable between 2-3 people. The mussels were tender and the dijonnaise broth was delicious. The boeuf was to Julia standards for sure and a wonderfully rich dish. The one small critique was that there were large chunks of fat still attached to the beef and not very pleasant you assumed the bite was all meat and it wasn't. The smokiness of the lardons was perfect. (I'd love to see a cassoulet and some confit duck on the menu one of these days, perhaps for winter.) The haricot verts were tender and fresh, the almonds paired well. They didn't wow, but were executed really well. For dessert, I asked for a second stomach, and Bryan insisted celebrating both of our birthdays as my mom and I are just a week apart, and brought us our choice of birthday desserts. We settled on the Milk Chocolate/Passion Fruit Caramel Tart and Basque Cheesecake with berry coulis. Both were outrageously good! I was stuffed and happy - so glad I could walk home and walk off 1/10,000 of my meal! Haha! It was a fantastic meal with wonderful service - the vibe got more lovely as the live music started and the lights dimmed as the sun went down. I'd say it should be on your must try list and I'd love to come back and try happy hour one day soon for sure!

Disclosure: This was a invited complimentary dining experience in exchange for this review. No suggested direction from the restaurant was given regarding this review. We did rely heavily on the waiter's suggestions for food and drink, but had the liberty to order whatever we liked from the menu. Despite the above, I still try to remain objective with my review, and I'm happy to say that La Grande Boucherie is one of the better French steakhouses I've been to in Chicago. A small note, this restaurant is one of a national chain with origins in NYC I believe. The interior of this particular Chicago location exudes a nice Parisian charm - everything is lit up in gold, black, and white colors. The staff (hostess, busboys, waiter) were all incredibly thoughtful and prompt. Our water glasses were never more than half empty, the courses were paced out very well, and dishes were cleared from tables in a timely manner. Our waiter Steve had very good suggestions regarding dishes, and smoothed out the experience with his confidence. Food-wise, we started out with the foie gras mousse, which was stacked on a cherry? jelly, and served with crostini, a small salad, and cornichons. It was well-prepared, without any of the gamey flavor from the liver. The accompanying jelly on the bottom helped to bring out the sweetness of the liver. We also ordered the escargot, which was one of the best I've had across a number of brasseries and bistros. It was cooked perfectly - typically, restaurants will overcook them and the snails will come out a bit rubbery. Here, the snails were cooked through, but still retained their tenderness and flavor. For the main course, we ordered the Steak Diane (a special) and scallops (Les St Jacques Roties). The Steak Diane came out very tender, and the meat had a lot of flavor despite being relatively unseasoned. The bed of mashed potatoes it sat on paired very well with the (duxelles based?) sauce. The scallops were simultaneously sweet (from the corn) and refreshing due to the sugar snap peas. The scallops were a little too salty, but if you eat the dish with its accompaniments, the flavors balance out well. Dessert, the Profiteroles were recommended and paired very well with a small glass of Port. It was a little on the sweet side, so my significant other and I shared the plate. Overall, La Grande Boucherie in Chicago is a solid addition to the food scene. Its' attention to detail, fast service, and solid dishes make this one of the better French dining options in the city. I am looking forward to returning to sample their other menu items, and also to try their happy hour menu.

The restaurant is beautiful, and the service and food were also excellent. Our waiter was even French, which was a nice touch to the ambiance! We chowed down on the warm bread while we waited for our espresso martinis- super tasty and not too heavy. The steak tartare was a delicious appetizer to share. The Niçoise salad was a nice portion with a lot of fresh ingredients and tasty tuna. The duck was deliciously tender and flavorful. The macaroni au grautin was so tasty and rich, we had to get two orders for the table (smaller in portion though). Everything was delicious, and we also had crème brûlée for the birthday boy - not usually my favorite type of dessert though but this wasn't bad.

My friend and I came here a couple of weeks ago, and if you want the feel of a traditional Parisian vibe, this place is it! The decor, the music, the lighting. And on a Tuesday night, it was busy and bustling but not so much where we had to yell to hear each other. Our server was also so kind with the recommendations and very helpful answering any questions we had! Here's what we ordered and my thoughts: Drinks: -La vie en rose is a very balanced cocktail. Sweet but not too sweet. 10/10 -Fraise cremeuse is also a well balanced cocktail. It's a little sweet, fruit forward, strong but not too strong. 10/10 -Seaplane was just basically just tequila. I didn't taste any other flavors. So if you want something strong, this is your pick. I personally didn't enjoy it. 2/10 Food: -Mousee de foie gras was a lot denser than what we expected. It didn't melt in your mouth like foie gras should. It tasted more like duck liver pate. But the cherries definitely elevated the entire dish. As a pate, 9/10. As a foie gras, 5/10. -Steak tartare was so heavy on the horseradish that we couldn't taste anything else in the dish. The menu should definitely highlight this flavor. The texture of the dish was great though. 5/10 -Boeuf a la Bourgignon was delicious. My friend really enjoyed it. I thought the meat was a little dry, but the sauce/stew was fantastic 8/10 -Canard a l'orange was also very good! Nothing special or mind blowing but the duck was juicy and tender. It met expectations! -Crème brûlée was probably my favorite dish of the night. It was super light and creamy and custard-y. Exactly everything I wanted from a crème brûlée. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. Not sure if this would make my list to bring out of towners, but if you're ever craving French food, this would hit the spot!

Wow. Beautiful restaurant with a huge bar centered in the middle of the space. They have live music flowing on a Wednesday night? Large windows open that made me feel like I just stepped into a French Boucherie in the middle of France someplace. We were greeted with Champagne while we decided on what we wanted as appetizers. Matthew was excellent and offered some suggestions. Highly recommend this place! Here is what we ate and drank and what I thought about each : Le Vie Rose Martini: fragrant, hints of rose... very delicious Boucherie French Martini With Brown Butter Washed Haku, Salt, Pineapple, Raspberry. Sooooooooo good! Mussels - so delicious it has a great little sauce to it that I wanted to just pick up the bowl and slurp down. Wagyu Carpaccio - it was AMAZING. Get this! Very flavorful! The aioli and capers. So good! Loup De Mer which was this huge whole brazino, roasted potatoes, bayaldi Steak Diane - lovely gravy mushroom with steak so good We also had many, many desserts: a caramel tart, fig tart and a sesame creme brûlée.

Where do I even begin to describe the fabulous night we had at La Grande Boucherie? We made reservations for 645 on a Thursday. Our happy hour elsewhere ended early so we arrived around 6:20. The hostess had a bit of trouble locating our reservation and they weren't quite ready for us despite seating us early, but that was on us for coming early (though I'd have been happier to wait at the front instead of being seated and waiting for service!) But onto the good stuff. This restaurant is beautiful, and there are many ornate details to behold. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, and it wasn't overwhelmingly busy, which was nice. Our server Matthew was attentive and detail oriented, and made some great recommendations. Below I'll highlight what we had, with a * next to anything that was house recommended: Drinks (both served up): Boucherie French Martini- gourmand flavor profile, with a smooth finish Heure Magique- super refreshing with a slight anise flavor and a delightful purple color! Appetizers: Oysters- we had 6 total, and they were big boys! They came with mignonette, cocktail sauce, and a mini bottle of tabasco. Definitely preferred the mignonette as a topping. *Wagyu carpaccio- super flavorful, with a delicious truffle sauce on top that was not overpowering. I'd definitely order this again, and again. *Pasteque et feta- Luscious ripe watermelon (red AND yellow varieties), with a balsamic drizzle and feta chunks. It was good, but nothing set it apart- though it was nice to have a refreshing app on top of the heavier items we ordered Mains: Scallops- (Les St Jacques Roties)- these were a highlight for me. 3 juicy scallops perfectly seared on a bed of sweet corn and snap peas and some type of puree. The dish as a whole was incredibly sweet, but I like it that way. I am still thinking about this dish, it was hard not to eat it all super fast *Filet Mignon au poivre- my partner ordered it medium which is more well-done than my norm, but I still very much enjoyed it. Super tender and flavorful, and the pepper flavor was not overwhelming, which I was afraid it might be. It came with mashed potatoes which were very smooth and buttery. Desserts: Fig and honey tart- I was surprised to see fresh figs instead of dried on here but it made the dish delightfully fresh and tart. The pastry was very firm but so delicious. I could've eaten the whole thing had I not already been full! Basque Cheesecake- this was definitely delicious- we ordered with with the mixed berry coulis (also have options of chocolate or salted caramel sauces). The sauce was a good choice to cut the sweetness. Super tasty, but I'm not exactly sure what differentiates it from a regular cheesecake. Either way, divine! All in all, I rarely make it to River North for a fancy dinner, but this occasion did NOT disappoint. I think it's worth a splurge if you haven't done one in a while! The service, atmosphere, portions, and very solid menu options throughout each course make this place a strong choice in the neighborhood. I look forward to coming back sometime.

Nice staff and easy to get a last minute reservation which was perfect for my friend and I meeting after a work event. The interior is beautiful, it's a lovely art nouveau style decor. The food was only ok. Overall it was heavier than needed and missing some balance. We tried a few different dishes and it was a little disappointing. The beet salad was my biggest letdown... Very little actually vegetables, mostly just a big pastry filled with cheese. Overall this is a fine spot for drinks and oysters before seeing a show, or to take a client for lunch. Not my vibe overall but a cute space.

Le Grand Boucherie is a fantastic new addition to River North's dining scene, featuring a beautiful and elegant interior paired with delicious food. Their drink menu offers a variety of cocktails and wines. My favorite was the Le Diable mezcal cocktail, with its strong grapefruit flavors. For appetizers, we ordered the tuna tartar with avocado. The leafy toppings and various citrus fruits added a refreshing touch. The tomato salad, though simply a mix of different tomatoes, was remarkably flavorful, showcasing the quality and freshness of the ingredients. For our main courses, the scallops were a standout--perfectly charred and paired with sweet corn, snap peas, and a rich sauce. The dish was both satisfying and full of flavor. The filet mignon au poivre was a classic choice, served with creamy mashed potatoes that complemented the tender, well-cooked meat. For dessert, the profiteroles were delicious, with soft pastry and ice cream, topped off by the fun of watching them pour warm fudge over the top! Overall, I appreciated how the meals stayed true to professional French cooking while incorporating unique touches. If you're looking for a classy spot for dinner, Le Grand Boucherie is a must-visit!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience here. Service was so friendly and not rushed. Made for a very relaxing evening. Dinner was absolutely superb. If you're looking for a special meal in Chicago, you won't beat this. Classically French done perfectly and stunningly gorgeous ambience. Highly recommend!!

We had a FANTASTIC experience. Should have taken more pics. We had an 830pm reservation and we opted to sit at the bar. The crowd was super friendly. Our server/bar tender was Z. He was great. We started with Carajillo cocktails...if you haven't had one, they are basically the next level espresso martini. Delicious!! Our appetizer was the scallops and the sweet corn puree added a silky sweet flavor to the perfectly salted scallops. For our main we shared the Chauteaubriand cooked medium. The sides included mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and bone marrow. We added a side of champignons (mushrooms) and the Mac and cheese. All were amazing; for me, the Mac and cheese wasn't my thing. Stephen, the GM, was amazing came and met us and gave the suggestion of the cheesecake and also we chose the Boucherie Crème Brûlée (toasted sesame crème brûlée). The crème brûlée was definitely unique and delicious. Then Stephen came out with their cheesecake....it is a MUST! Super fun evening with amazing company, staff, ambiance and food.

La Grande Boucherie in Chicago offers an extraordinary dining experience that blends impeccable service with exquisite French cuisine. The interior, for lack of better term, is certainly grand and our server Matthew was simply the best!! What we ordered: East coast oysters Wagyu Carpaccio Prime Entrecote Grillee (Ribeye) Les St Jacques Roties (Scallops) Pommes Puree (mashed potatoes) Bayaldi (Ratatouille) Tart Au Chocolat/Caramel My favorites were definitely the Wagyu Carpaccio and the scallops but I would order all of the dishes again except for the bayaldi (ratatouille).

What we ordered start to finish: French Martini L'escargot French onion soup Wagyu carpaccio Canard L'Orange Beef filet avec sauce bourdaleise Confit Byaldi Malbec Tarte au chocolat Cheesecake with sauce framboise Espresso Champagne Wow, what an honor and a joy to have a date night here. I'd come back for the service alone-- shoutout to Matthew for the utmost professionalism which only adds to the atmosphere here. Such a stunning, gorgeous, romantic space to dine! One of those places you go and have a beautiful meal together and walk home feeling very full but somehow walking on air My highlights from our meal were the confit byaldi, which is like a ratatouille-- wow! I love when a vegetable is the star. We fought over this side! The steak was cooked to absolute perfection- not always a given at a steak forward restaurant! They nailed it. The French onion soup was better than what I've had in Paris- still dreaming about it, and that cheese pull!! We felt so special and well taken care of during this meal. I can't wait to come back 10/10 and that's all I can say. So good that I didn't mind dawning a large stain on my dress for the whole meal-- too happy to care! Thanks to the staff for a spectacular dining experience.

Walking into this restaurant really like walking into a restaurant in Paris. Decor is beautiful and covers 2 floors. Menu is classic French with a focus on steak. A little pricy but it is reflected in the quality of the meat. Until 12/1 they have half priced bottles of wine which is always a good deal but if you are looking for a cocktail the La Vir En Rose and Heure Magique cocktails were divine. The petit seafood platter could definitely feed more than 3 and the seafood was fresh and tasty with the seafood salad being authentically French. Naturally they had a cheese course as well which could be had during your meal or as a dessert. The New York strip was divine. Make sure you make a reservation for this place as it does get busy and understandably so. Service was excellent. Shout out to our server Nico who was so attentive!

Excellent French restaurant, Parisian style charm for a romantic soirée or business meal. We have visited during lunch time in a very cozy autumn day, it was quiet, delightful. The place is elegant and the food is excellent. We want to remark the excellence in the service, the servers were warm and attentive but mostly very knowledgeable, to the high standards of great French restaurants. They walked us through every dish with specifications and details about products, names, not only in English but also in French!!! We have absolutely adored the experience, we're full-time-foodies and my husband is a Chef. We tried a good array of dishes. The wine was smooth and delicious. Super fresh oysters from East and West Coast. The "Mac and Cheese" really creamy and the flavors superb. We have also tried the Croque Monsieur which was excellent. A lobster bisque that was delicate and very fulfilling, besides a good classic French Onion Soup. Our Entrées were Sea Bass Bouillabaisse and Steak & Frites. Desserts were also remarkably nice, profiteroles, matcha tart and madeleines. Finally great espresso coffee. We'd certainly recommend due to enjoyment of the overall experience. Beautiful place and great food and service!

My husband and I came here for lunch midweek. We had a reservation, but honestly I don't think we needed one. There was plenty of seating, and only about 5 tables filled. It's a pretty big restaurant with ample tables of all sizes. Great for a business meal or date. It's relatively upscale, but the staff makes you feel welcome and it is a warm atmosphere. We sat by the window area. Weather was nice so it was open to the street. Service was prompt, we were able to quickly get our orders in. Drinks and food all came out at perfect times, which is great because we never had to flag our server down or wait around for someone to come through. APPETIZERS We started with the tuna tartare and foie gras. My husband is a HUGE fan of foie gras so of course we had to order it. He loved it. Most surprisingly though, we LOVED the cherry sauce that came on the side. I added it to my tuna tartare and it went well even with that. He even asked if he could purchase a jar of it lol Sadly, they do not sell the cherries in bulk haha. My personal favorite part of the tartare were the fruit slices. It was a great, light app. MAIN I got the filet mignon (medium) and my husband got the boucherie burger. We kept eating off each others plates because it was all so good! He said it was the best steak he's ever had and I kept raving about the beef in the burger. The meats did not disappoint. Honestly, the burger would've been fine without the fries. There was enough flavor and texture in the burger that the fries were just there for a little starch. DESSERT We got the black sesame boucherie creme brulee and tarte au chocolat/caramel. The boucherie creme brulee was interesting. If you want a standard creme brulee, I don't recommend. But if you want to try something new, by all means its a decent dessert. The crunch of the sesame topping was a little much for me, but my husband loved it. I much preferred the tarte. DRINKS We got the magique heure, fraise cremeuse, and bastille day cocktails. All perfect for a summer day! The bastille day cocktail was lighter than the other two as it had ice. It was a refreshing drink to have with our main. I'm not a fan of absinthe, but my husband really liked the cremeuse drink.

Great overall experience at La Grande Boucherie! The waiter was attentive even though it was busy and gave us lots of time to decide on and enjoy our meal. The dining space has a really cool vibe that brings you back to the past. On Wednesday night when we were there there was a jazz band playing. They were a little bit loud, but the music was nice. We started with some cocktails. The La Vie on Rose and the Pasteque a Paris were both really good though the Vie on Rose did have some floaters by the end. We also got table bread! Which seems to be rare these days in Chicago. It wasn't anything crazy delicious but definitely soft and classic and we saved some to dip in our later courses. For apps we got the onion soup and the steak tartare. The onion soup was probably one of the best I've ever had. It was LOADED with onions and the cheese was sooo good. Personally, I was not a big fan of the steak tartare, but that is because I don't really like mustard. Mustard wasn't mentioned on the menu but the cornichons must've soaked in something with mustard seed because mustard was all I could taste. Everything else about the dish was good and my partner liked it, but it was not for me. For mains we got the 12 oz ribeye with bourdelaise sauce and the orange duck. The steak was really good and the sauce made it even better. We even put some of the sauce on the potatoes to add a little extra flavor. The duck dish was just ok for me. I really liked the apples and peaches and the orange sauce, but the duck itself was a little chewy and hard to cut/eat and oh my do not eat the cherries. They tasted like cough medicine. For dessert we got the chocolate tart and the mixed berry cheesecake. I wasn't a huge fan of the chocolate tart which was cakier and blander than I would've expected. However, that cheesecake and berry sauce was light and fluffy and so delicious.

I visited La Grande Boucherie with my partner last night and I was blown away. Everything from the food to the service was amazing. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the bar is right in the center. Starting off with the appetizers, we ordered the escargot, fois gras, and our server recommended the wagyu carpaccio. The escargot was so tender and tasted so clean. I I had never tried fois gras and was so happy to know I loved it! The plate was served with a mustard, pickles, a little lettuce with tomatoes and bread. We spread the fois gras on the bread and it spread like butter. It was so rich and flavorful. Finally the wagyu carpaccio was my favorite appetizer! I had never had this either and was so happy I tried it. The Wagyu was topped with horseradish and caper berries. The carpaccio melts in your mouth. It was the most amazing thing I've ever tasted. For dinner, I had the prime entrecôte grille and my partner had the filet mignon au poivre. I opted to add bordelaise and our server recommended the bayaldi, which was like a smaller version of ratatouille. We were so happy with our choices! Our steaks were cooked to perfection and so tender. I was excited to try the bayaldi as I had never had ratatouille in my life and was so happy I did. For some reason it reminded me lasagna. For dessert we had a cheesecake and the chocolate tart. The tart stole the show. It was so rich and creamy! I usually don't like caramel but this was so good. The cheesecake was also very good and tastes like they make it in house. All in all, we left so happy and full. The service was amazing (our water glasses) were never empty) and the restaurant is beautiful. I look forward to returning and trying a few more things from their menu .

I had an excellent solo dinner here last night! Mike D. was a fantastic server and offered great recommendations from the menu. The Boucherie French Martini was a great start. I also ordered the Lyonnaise salad, steak frites, and Gouda mac & cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious! And I feel like not enough people are talking about this mac & cheese! I'm rarely blown away by mac & cheese at restaurants but wow, it's SO GOOD. Mike also recommended a glass of Bardot that paired perfectly with the steak. The raspberry sorbet was a perfect finish to a delicious meal. I enjoyed being seated at a table by the window to read a book & people watch. Overall my experience was a 10 and I will definitely return to La Grande Boucherie.

Recently opened and the largest restaurant in Chicago, La Grande Boucherie delivered in every way on a bustling weekday evening. A must try! The highlight of our night was the waitstaff as we dined on a beautiful weekday evening in River North. Steve was great throughout the meal! Very pleasant waiter who along with the rest of the staff made for a great evening! We shared stories and jokes over great tasting food and drinks. Steve expertly recommended a delicious Pinot Noir to accompany a perfectly cooked salmon dish. There are some heavy hitters on Dearborn St, and we have been dining in the area for years. This repurposing of the old Ruth's Chris building has been masterfully done with the opening of La Grande Boucherie! Beautiful mosaic tile flooring throughout, with a large and beautifully decorated bar. Our evening was a special and memorable experience! We started with tuna tartare which was wonderful, great quality and very tasty! I enjoyed the Henry McKenna 10 year bourbon and later enjoyed a Pinot Noir. Both cocktails were refreshing, and dessert was spectacular! The branzino was the food highlight on this evening, buttery and beautifully presented. This along with a perfectly cooked salmon made for a pescatarian dream! The salmon was served with asparagus and a nice sauce that didn't over power the fish, but was delightful and let you know it was there. Last, the ratatouille was spectacular. My first time having the dish, I closed my eyes in enjoyment on multiple bites. All of the menu items were well presented and delicious! Don't miss out on dessert! The sauce on the cheesecake was mouthwatering and the fig/honey tart was delicate and 10/10! We paired dessert with whiskey sours and were very happy with near perfect cocktails. A+

My wife and I visited for lunch on a Thursday and got a great seat right by the window. This restaurant is decorated extremely well! As far as wine, I really enjoyed the Bordeaux and my wife loved the sparkling rosé. The mussels are absolutely delicious; the wine and shallots come together in a buttery sauce that you just might want to drink off the plate lol. The watermelon salad also features yellow watermelon and is incredibly refreshing. The fruit wedges that accompany the tuna tartare take it to another level. The Wagyu burger damn near melts in your mouth and the fries are perfectly crispy. For dessert, we tried the fig tart and the Paris-Brest and both featured some very good pastry. Those were the freshest figs I've tasted in a while! Also if you're into cocktails, check out their cocktail selection from Poor Souls. The Chet Faker might be my new favorite drink - it was like a coffee flavored negroni and was the perfect drink to have with dessert. The service was incredible and food arrived pretty quickly. We will absolutely be back to check out that dinner menu! You will not be disappointed!

We came here for brunch on a Sunday and it was a great experience! We came with our baby and they were very accommodating and let us keep our stroller when our baby was napping. My husband really enjoyed the salmon Benedict and thought the hollandaise sauce was one of the best he's ever had. I had the French onion soup and thought it was great, definitely top 5. The free bread was also very good. Very pleasant experience with awesome ambiance. Would definitely come here again and would be curious to try them for dinner!

TL; DR: Great place for a special dinner. Filet Mignon is the best pick - don't overthink it. Try the fig/honey tart This is a great spot for a fancy dinner that will not disappoint. It has 2 levels, garage door windows (great during the summer), and a pretty bar! The drinks are yummy and very pretty. The Wagyu Carpaccio was tasty and a great dish to share with the table. The Watermelon salad was fresh and you could really taste the basil. The filet mignon was the best choice and very filling (I would go back just for that)! The fig/honey tart was a unique dessert that I would order again. However, I would skip the Boucherie crème brûlée (has black sesame seeds on top) and just get the regular if you really want one. You also can't go wrong with a Carmel cheesecake either.
