We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the ambiance at the Heron Bistro. It has a nice upscale vibe and the drinks and food were very good. Our service was spot on. I would say the prices seem high but I think it is just that food everywhere now is expensive to prepare so I discount that based on current economy. I would highly recommend the Heron for a quiet dinner or a celebration.

The server was very nice and for our anniversary, he gave us a free dessert and a sparkler to celebrate. We really appreciated that and made the night even more special

Lovely way to spend a special lunch. Our server was engaging, helpful and knowledgeable; food was tremendous. The wine list, though pricey, is excellent. Our only disappointment was that we were unable to partake of the 1/2 off champagne due to a long drive back home. This is a go-to for creative French, not too heavy and a wonderful experience!

We had a fantastic brunch! The food was delicious, and the ambience was beautiful, making it a wonderful overall experience. A special shout-out to Christina, the manager, who was absolutely amazing! She was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She definitely knows how to treat guests and make everyone feel special. Her hospitality truly stood out and made all the difference. Unfortunately, our waitress could have been a little more pleasant and welcoming, but Christina more than made up for it with her exceptional customer service and professionalism. Between the delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and Christina’s outstanding hospitality, this restaurant is absolutely worth visiting. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Christina, for making our brunch so enjoyable!

La Grande Boucherie was the perfect place to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. It felt like Paris in the heart of Chicago. The atmosphere was authentic, elegant, and romantic. The food was outstanding, and the service made the evening even more memorable. Our server, Kristy, was exceptional. She made us feel right at home, offered thoughtful menu recommendations, and was warm and attentive. A beautiful restaurant, a wonderful experience, and exactly the kind of evening we had hoped for. We‘ll definitely be back next time we are in Chicago.
