“This was a great dinner, it was a well composed menu and everything was delicious. Highlight of the evening were the mejillones, Tetela, and the pulpo enamorada. The roasted carrots also brought a nice accompaniment to everything and a depth of flavor.“
“Our son lives in Chicago and we asked his girlfriend to choose a nice place for us to fly in and take them out to dinner to celebrate his birthday… Obélix did NOT disappoint! My husband is French and used to work in the food industry so to say our standards are high is an understatement. You will come out of an experience here a few pennies poorer yet you will chalk this up to a rich gastronomical experience bar none. The service is impeccable (timing and engagement) and food, sublime. I was so looking forward to sharing angel food cake with my son as we did while he was growing up but we simply indulged all evening and had no room but for espressos. We enjoyed a bottle of Crémant to start and followed with a bottle of Beaujolais Fleury which was incredible once it opened…. The Dorade was outstanding and my family enjoyed the pâté en croute, soupe à l’onglon gratinée , les escargots bourguignon, macarons avec foie gras; and absolutely adored their aged steaks… the experience was outstanding and was well worth the flight to make a memorable evening with our beloved son. Try to save room for dessert as I hear it’s outstanding !!“
“The food was great. The service was fine nothing outstanding but food was great. It's slightly larger than a bedroom so prepare in advance and book a reservation or prepare to wait. I sat at the bar and got bumped by the waitstaff the entire time but I happily ignored it because the food was so good. Again it's not a place for a large party but you'll be delighted you went!“
“This is an excellent french restaurant, run by people who know food. its a fixed price menu, and they did not have a vegetarian option. jacket required, as its old school. will definitely return with my wife. if you are a foodie, go. its an excellent experience.“
“My husband and I loved this place. Everything was on point from the quality of the food. The precision of the handcrafted cocktails the ambience, jazz music and the owners hands-on management.We cannot wait to return. It has everything we love about Chicago.“
“As a perfectionist who doesn’t believe in anything being perfect, I found it hard to give any critiques to our Bistro Campagne experience. Our server, Alexander, did not miss a beat. Every bite of food was exquisite. We enjoyed the escargot and mussels as an app. Then we split the steak frites and salmon entrees. Incredible. I also highly recommend the Spanish Harlem cocktail. We will be back again.“
“Tried this place for the first time because I wanted a bottomless mimosas brunch. I'm no longer at the point to call brunch brunch without bottomless mimosas, but I digress.It was recommended in my research that we make a reservation (it was 2 of us), so I did. We got there shortly after they opened. There were a few parties there but pretty empty, so that was nice. The host was wonderfully welcoming and her French accent really called out the vibe.Service was quick and great. The drinks stayed flowing (they refill your glass). We both ordered the butternut squash soup to start, which was SO GOOD!!! I then ordered the quiche Lorraine while my boyfriend ordered the salmon eggs Benedict. Both were yum. Mine was a small portion but that was good and enough to prevent overeating. He ordered the Alaskan something as a dessert. We got 2 spoons. It was also yum.Street parking was easy at 10:30am on a Sat. Right across the street. Def incentivized to come back with my girls!“
“Awesome vegetarian options at a French restaurant—feels super rare! Went for happy hour + dinner as a birthday surprise for my boyfriend (who’s newly vegetarian). Every dish was tasty and felt original.My favorite was the mushroom “escargot” (much more memorable than regular escargot) and my partner’s favorite was the carrot tartare. The chamomile bourbon soda was also tasty—their happy hour specials were a great value. Already wanna plan my next visit to try more!!“
“Wonderful experience, we had to quickly reserve last minute and the staff took care of us from the minute we called and made the reservation. The amenities are out of the world. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel and will return soon. You made lifetime customers.“
“A classy French restaurant is rare but this place does it right. It was a real treat. The food and drinks were great and the atmosphere was just amazingParking: They have a valet service but we didn't notice, and so the street parking is hard to find if you can't get a spot on the main street. The backstreets are zoned for residents“
“Hands-down, the BEST dinner we've ever had. Our server, Evan, was the absolute sweetest. We loved the elegant but comfy atmosphere and the food, drinks, and desserts were TO DIE FOR!!! ❤️ We fell in love with this place and we will definitely be coming back any time we visit Chicago!“
“Went as a group of 3 on a Friday evening for a girlfriend's birthday and this restaurant far exceeded our expectations. Each dish was better than the one before. We had the baked brie, the poulet farci ( stuffed chicken), the bouillabaisse Marseillaise (assorted seafood), Filet Mignon de Bœuf Grillé au Jus de Cuisson, the apple tart, the almond cake, and the profiterole. I would highly recommend this bistro for a date night, birthday, or a 'just because' dinner. The staff was also very friendly and helpful with making selections. Thanks for a wonderful experience.“
“Group of 4 for dinner, fabulous experience starting with Jeanette who got us seated and set up with menu and drinks. Very attentive service by the whole team. Great menu selection, well prepared and presented. Looking forward to our next visit! Thanks for reading.“
“Celebrated a birthday here! The group was welcomed with a glass of champagne. The room has a pink Parisian vibe, very beautifully done. It happened to be happy hour as well, which goes to 7 pm. We tried the burger and it was good but a bit too salty for the four of us. Wouldn't order again but we had other dishes including the gnocchi and that was divine! Would like to return for the beef Wellington. After our meal we were invited behind the bar for a tasting of a speciality liquor. It was fun ending to the night and felt very personable. Great for celebrating, especially a girls night! Ps. Check out the bathroom, adorable!“
“Unfortunately, BCC closed just before Valentine's Day and so far, no news on where the key team members have moved on to. And no news on what may replace on this site, this is truly the tragic loss of a restaurant that was destined for great things.“
“This is one of the best experiences I could ever recommend. It was magical from start to finish. 8 of us went - spanning 3 generations. It was a night to remember for all. Chef Benoit was a master host, instructor, chef and all around great man to be around. RaeAnn was super accommodating and responsive. Made reservations and planning a breeze.“
“I loved my experience at Dear Margaret! This was my second time here and I thought it couldn’t be better than the first time (which was outstanding) and it exceeded expectations! The wait staff is so kind and takes time to explain the menu and wine selections. The meal was coursed perfectly. We loved the duck confit, pork schnitzel, and the pommes frites. Thank you Dear Margaret for a great evening!“
