Aboyer (ab-wah-yay), meaning, “to bark,” is a French-American brasserie as imagined by Chef Michael Lachowicz. An American-French restaurant pushing the boundaries of classic cuisine. Pulling from influences all over the world, Aboyer reconfigures classic dishes, but is still firmly planted in classic method and technique, never forgetting where we came from.

Reservations are recommended; walk-ins are welcome. Aboyer requires a credit card to secure all reservations. Please note that reservations cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled booking will incur a $25 per guest cancellation fee & no-shows will be billed at a rate of $50 per guest.

For private dining email events@georgetroisgroup.com

Aboyer is conveniently located across from the Indian Hill Metra.

    I invited two colleagues to Aboyer as a thank you for their excellent work. We were greeted at the door where our coats were taken and then ushered to our well placed table. We then met our friendly and capable waiter who explained the menu. The fig Manhattan was the perfect beginning to all of the small plates that we ordered during happy hour. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and delivered by the capable staff. I/we will be back!

    The French Onion soup was almost as good as the soup we had in Paris. The steak in the Steak Frites dish was perfectly cooked. Their wine list offers a good variety. Mylene was our server and she was outstanding. I will ask for her in the future.

    The food was amazing. We had the chicken, pork salmon and whitefish. Yum. The waiter didn’t bring the ordered glass of wine and it was too damn noisy. It seemed like people we yelling to be heard

    The food was really good. The service was less than professional. They really need to up their game with more seasoned, professional, and polished servers.

    Great service and food. We noted that, even though we arrived at 5pm, the happy hour menu was not offered. We had to ask for it.
