This is always a staple when I visit Chicago !! The French Press and fresh croissants are a must

Really enjoyed the lunch. We were the only people in the room as it was a bit late, when we arrived and we were never rushed. Very pleasant experience

This restaurant has changed. They used to have a real chef, they don't anymore. Felt like precooked, warmed up, cafeteria food

Overall, diners were disappointed with the current Mediterranean menu at the restaurant that used to be a popular French spot. Complaints ranged from underwhelming dishes to slow service and a lackluster ambiance. Confusion was evident with outdated photos and reviews still visible online. Some standout dishes like Crispy Haloumi and positive experiences with the restaurant week menu were acknowledged. Service received mixed reviews, with some servers being attentive while others were less so. Despite some enjoyable elements, the general consensus seemed to point towards the establishment not living up to its former reputation.
