We've been coming to visit our daughter in Evanston for years and never realized this gem is just a couple of miles away. Everything about our meal was perfect We loved the 3 and 4 course options where we could pick from each course. Appetizers. Scallops and goat cheese salad Excellent Main. Lamb chops Filet and Venison were amazing! Great... More

I was in doubts when thought about rating: it is really 3.5, between 3 and 4. Could go either way. We went there for dinner with Groupon discount, and the restaraunt makes it hard to use Groupon. Just check out other reviews, or blog of Chef Michael on his website, and you will understand why. We didn't have much trouble... More

This restaurant is consistantly superb. Plan to make the meal your evening, as service is not rushed. Once seated we ordered drinks, and then were given time to chat and relax before the menus were even brought. They bring a delicious amuse bouche of a cheese puff. The menu is designed so that you can order a three course or... More

From the Scallop mousse through the guinea hen to a marvelous chocolate ending , we relished every bite! Our waiter was great Nd we were treated to an explanation of each... More

What a wonderful 5 course dinner we had. Each course was excellent, particularly the pork tenderloin and the sumptuous chocolate dessert. Attentive service in quietly elegant surroundings. We will definitely be back.

Trained under Jean Banchet at the legendary Le Francais, Chef Michael regularly offers elegant French food, without the molecular frills ad other whimsical winks that have become fashionable these days. But this is not just the standard and sometimes boringly predictable bistro food you find at French restaurants.At a recent dinner to celebrate the end of the world predicted by... More

This is going to become our spot for celebrations. The pre fixe dinner is an excellent value. Very pleased to see favorites like duck confit and venison on the menu. Well prepared and well presented. On Tuesday, there is no corkage fee. Surprised by the ample selection of cheeses on the cheese board. Service is attentive without being cloying.

A beautiful home like atmosphere with one room having a fireplace and earth tone decorations. Tables are rather close but the sound level is low and one can hear those at your table well. The French American menu is very tempting and service is good but waiters are not familiar with French. The chef came and introduced himself and was... More
