French Restaurants near Lake Forest, IL

“Sunday night dinner was Le Colonial and it's typically always booked for dinner, but they have a bar lounge where it's first come first serve and we practically had the room to ourselves throughout dinner. On a gloomy, foggy day a bowl of Pho sounded so yummy, and I was right, it was yummy. The presentation of the spring rolls was very cute, but I do wish there was more than just one shrimp in each roll, but I get food costs are rising. The lychee dessert is such the perfect balance of tart and sweet.“

“Food options and preparations were excellent. Dishes creative. Service outstanding and gracious. Choices of desserts superlative as it also had a patisserie. Wanted to try them all. The ambience was beautiful and warm. I love dining out and I live in Chicago but happened to be up north. I would most definitely go back again“

“Although Miramar offers excellent meals and a well-designed environment, that evening's service left a bit to be desired. We were seated promptly as we had a reservation.The water came quick, with the choice of sparkling or still. The bread and waiter were quick as well; the issue was with the utensils. The man who would bring utensils didn't come many times; we had to ask him three times for new forks and knives after they were taken. The food, as I said, was great. With good flavors and a balanced use of ingredients, the food didn't feel overfilling. The steak frites and crème brûlée were the shining items at our meal. I would overall say it's 3–4 stars only due to the issue with utensils; it may have been only that night; still, that was my experience.“

“We hired Froggy's from a list of approved caterers at our venue. They also provided some dessert. Froggy's tried to meet all our requests and people seemed to enjoy the food. The service was attentive during our meal and open bar time. There were some unfortunate issues at the end of the night and a missing cake, but Froggy's did their best to resolve them (for example, making a new cake top for us to enjoy on our first anniversary).“
