Mediterranean and Asian tastes meld in snapper carpaccio or pho w/ duck + bigoli. Get peanut butter semifreddo for dessert. – Green Guide Editor
Third time having dinner here. Consistent high quality and nice decor. Cauliflower salad, cod ravioli and duck breast were great. Date with divinity was a good light cocktail.
Gale Gand, chef of Tru, eats here on her nights off. She loves the Frisée salad w/ poached duck egg. Read more.
Mash potatoes and the goat cheese is great. Meat is sensational ! Duck and steak.
Fois gras is amaze-balls! Duck and pheasant dishes spectacular
Awesome Value. Tuesdays they offer Duck L'Orange which is to die for. Their Fish & Frites is light & tasty and their Steak & Frites options are amazing. High quality meat :)
Best French in the city so far
Thinking about getting the duck leg!?
Duck confit
Pumpkin filled pasta with butternut squash, pine nuts, and burnt butter/sage was to die for. Also pictured the fabulous vegetarian lasagna.
Don’t be alarmed by a dish like duck with 60 condiments: Servers explain + specify exactly how to eat each course. – Green Guide Editor
Try the Duck Course - Top, duck breast on a smoking cinnamon log; bottom left, foie, Quince and sage with a cool duck "soup"; right, fritter with persimmon and burning oak. (via @Foodspotting)
Definitively my best culinary experience. When put up against EMP and Chef's Table@BK Fare, Alinea wins hands down. While both are great, the adaptive & edgy service at Alinea is second to none.
The duck taco was very good :)
Cochinita and carnitas tacos are amazing, as are the elotes. And very reasonable prices!
The corn on the cob is delish...
The beef pho is amazing. Very flavorful broth!
Very few Vietnamese restaurants deliver in Chicago. Fortunately, Simply It does! A steaming bowl of Pho (beef noodle soup) is my cure-all for bad colds. Read more.
Try the Fresh Summer Rolls (Goi Cuon Cua)Real king crab meat, lettuce, rice noodle, mint, carrot, jicama, avocado, bean sprout, wrapped in a thin rice paper. served with a tamarind dipping sauce.
Love the food, love the wine, adore the bartenders!

Go to DOC wine bar. Sit by the fireplace and order the bruschetta trio. Great bang for your buck.
Start with the shumai as an appetizer, it's to die for. Also, the tuna salad with pepper tuna and wasabi cream sauce is great.
Head to this place with a 6-pack and a friend. They have amazing all you can eat sushi. But be careful you can eat until you explode!
If you come in a big group, you can ask for your order to be served on a wooden boat which adds to the experience!
Try the house spritz with Hum, Lemon, Prosecco, Berries & Basil. Delicioso!!
Panna Cotta
Linguine Portofino (Scallops, shrimp, cherry tomatoes, olive oil and garlic)
Very large specials menu highlighting the freshness of the food. All the pastas are delicious! Very lively and warm environment.
This neighborhood trattoria is known for its charming Italian staff and authentic Italian food. Be sure to try one of the nightly specials; they are always delicious. - Inspector
