π Neighborhood: Bucktown
π΄Cuisine: French
β¨Vibe: Upscale bistro
πBest for: Date Night
Tucked in Bucktown is the sweetest little restaurant serving up some stellar French food π₯. The inside is small (reservations are necessary) but it was bustling on the Thursday we visited.
We started with wine π· and for food we ordered the beet salad, scallop special, and trout en croute. Everything was prepared to perfection and impeccably balanced π. Rich but not overdone. Light but still bursting with flavor.
It's not a flashy establishment, but it's intimate and homey π . Perfect for date night or small group dinners.
π€«π The 1-2 Punch: Map Room is right down the street and perfect for casual drinks before or after dinner.
