Went for dinner with a group of 6 on a Saturday night. The location is perhaps the best in town. Price structure is trmendous for what you get. A warmly lit place with no pretentiousness whatsoever. The food was superb throughout. The bread served with butter and a roasted garlic bulb was great. I had the escargots encased in puff pastry with an herb butter and it was superb. The best snails i've ever had. They no longer had the pied de cochon as an app so that was disapointing but these made up for most of it. And whatever they didnt, the cassoulet did. Simply one of the best plates of food i've had in a long time. The melding of flavors is worked to perfection. It comes with a whole duck leg confit, about 3-4 chunks of lamb, and a medallion of what appeared to be housemade sausage. the meats were tender and incredibly flavorful and the base of the white beans cooked with pancetta and onions was great by itself. Very good wine list. The french onion soup and creme brulee are also superb. The difference in the creme brulee seems to be a slightly thicker sugar coating on top then most places. It is what stood out to me. That and the real vanilla bean used. Overall a great meal, one of the best i've had in Chicago. Combine the food with the incredible location and the fairly gentle price structure and you have one of the best food destinations in Chicago.

We had the onion soup and the creme brulee, which we had heard raves about. They lived up to their hype! Loved all the food, the atmosphere was wonderful. Great location too. Would highly recommend.

This is just a lovely place with a great location. I've been there for lunch and dinner and it's consistently good. The quiche lorraine is superb! The table bread with roast garlic spread is sublime! Creme brulee to die for!! Duck confit is wonderful. Cassoulets are flavorful.
