Food and service was good. My main complaint is that the waiters and staff had their butts in my space trying to service or clear the tables next to us. I’ve been in many restaurants with close tables and don’t recall this being so evasive.

We had a wonderful dinner! Service by Seth was outstanding. Loved the hanger steak with Bordeaux butter, the Brie and the salads. First time at Chicago location and it was just as excellent as LV. Will be back next time we’re in town.

It’s crazy to think there are only three of these restaurants left in the world. We used to go to the Oak Brook location but now we finally got to visit the one in Chicago. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that this was the original one. It’s a classic French bistro fare with amazing servers and food. I highly recommend the steak and frites! make sure to get your reservation early because we had to dine at 4:45 PM due to later dinner times not being available

The food was excellent as always. However the service wasn't as wonderful. It was a disappointment because I brought my friend for her birthday. She enjoyed herself, but I knew it could be better.

Dear Michele, I'm sorry to hear of your recent less than acceptable experience with us, especially in regard to the service you received. We always try to exceed our guests' expectations but unfortunately, sometimes fall short. Would you be willing to provide your contact information so I can have one of our managers get in touch? We truly appreciate your feedback; thank you. Brian Q. Mon Ami Gabi manager
