Aboyer (ab-wah-yay), meaning, “to bark,” is a French-American brasserie as imagined by Chef Michael Lachowicz. An American-French restaurant pushing the boundaries of classic cuisine. Pulling from influences all over the world, Aboyer reconfigures classic dishes, but is still firmly planted in classic method and technique, never forgetting where we came from.

Reservations are recommended; walk-ins are welcome. Aboyer requires a credit card to secure all reservations. Please note that reservations cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled booking will incur a $25 per guest cancellation fee & no-shows will be billed at a rate of $50 per guest.

For private dining email events@georgetroisgroup.com

Aboyer is conveniently located across from the Indian Hill Metra.

    Outstanding service. Beautiful interior. The appetizers are all delicious and highly recommend the wine suggestions paired with the entrees. My favorite place for special dinners in the north suburbs.

    We were Aboyer fans until yesterday, having enjoyed several great meals including Thanksgiving ‘23. At Thanksgiving ‘24, food was good but service was horrible. When we sat down, table setup was incomplete:. Had to ask for missing silverware and a water glass. Long gaps between courses. Large family style food platters arrived without serving utensils. Waiter was inattentive. Asked for water refills 3x; never came. Place felt like it was understaffed and chaotic. So unenjoyable, we finally asked for our desserts to go. Aboyer holds itself out as an elegant dining experience. It abjectly failed to deliver last night.

    I have been wanting to go here for a long time. Had Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was amazing! From my cranberry cinnamon gimlet to the amazing truffle at the end. It was served family style and it did not disappoint. The turkey was juicy and the pork cooked just perfectly. The sweet potato gratin was my favorite. I have left overs to enjoy today. The service was friendly and warm. Everyone around us was enjoying themselves and the ambiance delightful. A stellar performance!

    We were dining early on Sunday evening. Our group of four started with cocktails and cheese puffs from the happy hour menu. The service was exceptional from the coat check through the entire dinner. We had the Sunday feature which was chicken pot pie. It was delicious! Aboyer is a favorite of ours.

    Food very good. Waitress very good. I don't like getting nickeld and dimed. I had a coke which was a fountain one. I was asked if I'd like another? Sure. $5 each refill that I didn't know until I got the bill. I'm not talking about a bottle. There was also some kind of surcharge. Why? Got me.
