    Been going here for years. I’m a Chicago native who loves le bouchon. I wasn’t a fan of how our server made us order everything all at once. Everything was rushed and not how I wanted the courses to be sent out.

    It’s my favorite restaurant in Chicago - food, ambiance, people, area. GO! I want it to last forever. Especially love the duck, onion tart, salad lyonnaise, French onion soup, any time they have a savory macaron app - get!
