    One of the great Midwest restaurant gems that all should go to if they have a chance. Extra bonus it’s right at Bowman Field so if you’re a pilot, you can fly there and walk into the restaurant.

    Our first time eating at Le Relais. It was our anniversary dinner. We enjoyed the entire experience. The cocktails were fantastic, the starters, dinner, and dessert were all top quality. The setting was cozy and comfortable. We have already made return reservations. I highly recommend.

    Our server, Conner, was knowledgeable about the menu, and the restaurant itself, as were all of the staff. Efficient, also. The food (salads, duck confit and rack of lamb) was truly remarkable: flavorful, nuanced, and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.
