    Cajun fries (left) and naked supposed to be parm fries on the right.
    Luigina L.

    My food was alright, husband not so much... $21 got me a portobello sandwich and fries. Fries were supposed to be with some garlic parmesan topping, but came naked. Portobello was actually mini bellas- big difference IMO when you're vegetarian and paying $16 for a portobello burger. Taste was ok. Husband ate a few bites of his turkey burger and had to use the bathroom. Waitress saw he only ate a couple small bites then ran to the can and that we declined taking leftovers, but didn't even inquire about the food or his well being. Suppose I could have returned it and demanded the charge removed but its really just not my style. When we come back to the Concord in a couple weeks, we'll eat somewhere else. Total bill for two burgers, fries, water was $60. Meh

    Ah the name! Love the name!!! I can make so many cheesy Ed Sheeran jokes, but I will refrain. Bad habit left me wanting more, I shall return again for sure. The place is sooo cute. Perfect spot for date night as it is dark but not enough to not know who you are on a date with. The bar is locked and loaded with a great beer selection and has an incredibly creative cocktail menu to go with it. Because I am a lover of old-fashioned drinks, I got "nothing good happens after midnight." It's a twist on the classic but with a citrusy taste to it. I loved it. I didn't get to try the food as I came after the kitchen closed but I will return for sure. They had a burrata and tacos on the menu that I would love to have. I aint mad. Just gotta come again. Gotta say, staff is in top of it too. The bartender was quick and engaging. We also got to talk to the manager who came and sat with us. Arbi made us feel welcome. Can't wait to come back. That burrata is calling my name. You should visit too my fellow yelper.

    Bad was was lit amazing , My personal favorite drink was the adulteress... I got it 3 times so you can tell I love it.. The food was amazing the Cajun fries was little everything especially with the dipping sauce , The Italian drinking noddle was a pasta lover's dream & the Wisconsin chicken sandwich... No words.. I definitely recommend Bad habit for my vegetarian... the crispy avocado tacos too die for and Shockingly the butta at honeydew salad was very good.. I would order again.. The service was amazing everyone was super helpful & friendly and the ambiance was definitely a a cute date night or girls nights .. you don't wanna miss it.

    The spinach dip... perfect. You must order it. Friendly, not too busy, and great bathrooms. Might become a regular soon.

    The Chicago food tour commences... First stop, drinks at Bisous! This cocktail bar was listed no…read more 39 on the top 50 bars in North America for 2025. It was no wonder when we arrived that there was a line out the door. We waited around 45 minutes, and the bouncer was a really nice fellow who kept track of the numbers and people at the door. Upon entering, we were immersed in a dimly lit retro-style lounge. It was quite loud inside and packed as we walked to our seats. The server was great at taking our orders and offering suggestions. I opted for the French 75, which featured sparkling wine and mixed gin, brandies, and citrus. The drink was delicious, but STRONG. I don't know what they put in the cocktails in America, but I am always finished after one drink. Needless to say, we were all struggling to finish our own drinks. My favourite touch was the coasters, I ended up keeping all of them so that I can reuse them at my galentines event next year. The 'bisous' with the kiss on the other side is a perfect touch! I think the drinks are fairly priced for USD. I would love to return someday to try other drinks and bar bites, and also try their sister bar, Sparrow.

    My boyfriend and I were visiting Chicago (from Las Vegas) 2 weeks ago, and were very excited to…read morecheck out Bisous, as it looked nice inside and had good reviews. Imagine my shock when we didn't even make it past the bouncer because he was so rude, AS OTHER RECENT REVIEWS HAVE MENTIONED AS WELL! We had dinner nearby and walked to Bisous after, and saw there was a line of 5 or 6 people outside. We expected this as we knew Bisous is a first come, first serve bar. We were curious what the wait time would look like, so we approached the front door to ask a host or employee inside (we assumed there'd be a desk with an employee working it who could give us a wait time). We had no problem waiting, just wanted to see how long they estimated it would be! Before we could even fully open the door, the bouncer swung the door open from the other side and hit me with the door. I stumbled back a few steps and he looked at us and said, and I quote, "What do you want?". I laughed at first because I thought he was joking and putting on a tough guy act. He was not. We quickly explained we just wanted to see what the wait time was, and he said "don't you see there's a line outside?" We said yes, and explained we just wanted to know a rough estimated wait time. He just blankly stared at us while ushering us out. Both my boyfriend and I have worked in customer-service roles for a very, very long time. This encounter was not only extremely rude and unprofessional, but he also hit me hard enough with the door to send me stumbling back, and then said nothing about it and continued to address us in a tone that was nothing less than annoyed and irritated. We didn't end up going inside because that encounter left such a bad taste in our mouths. I don't believe in spending my money at establishments that don't treat their customers with the bare minimum respect they deserve! Bummed we didn't get to experience it, as I'm sure it was lovely inside and I can only hope the rest of the employees were much more kind and accommodating, or at least able to answer a simple question. Fire your "bouncer" (??) and hire someone with some basic customer service and communication skills!!

The transition was seamless, the walk through the kitchen was very cool, everyone was very friendly and excited to see guests. Our dessert came quickly to Le Mistral instead of S.K.Y. and was superb. Our waiter at Le Mistral was very friendly, gave some good advice on the cocktails, and was consistently attentive. My cocktail was just OK - sherry-based martini. I don't normally like a martini but all the ingredients actually seemed very much up my alley - the sherry, benedictine, rose vermouth. But the olive just overpowered. And definitely not worth the price of $24... Would definitely return and try the food next time as well.

I don't know if every Monday is Metal night, but it was that Monday - Black Sabbath, Nu-Metal, everything but the live goldfish. Perhaps they should advertise "Monday Metal at Mistral" if that is to be a regular thing. It does flow off the tongue. To be fair, there was a full house and the other patrons did not seem to mind. We were not looking to feel the noize, however, and so stayed for just one cocktail. Mine was a Sazerac adjacent mix, and it was very high quality. The decor is very low light, but the vibe is pretty basic - more Paint Your Dorm Room black than Parisian Opium Den black. A bit of a missed opportunity for romance.

Al Pastor Gyoza $12- good flavor on the meat. The Gyoza could be more crispy. Quesabirtia roll $12- great flavor. It comes with mole sauce that I would skip. Chicken and Mushroom karaagr $14- actually very good. Good portions. Crispy chicken and mushroom. Nice side dipping sauce. Crispy rice- very disappointing. It is not crispy. Drinks- happy hour $12 drinks. Tamarind sour $16- decent sour. Nice mix. Mano de sol $16- excellent flavor, blood orange, tequila We love lychee $16- great flavor with lychee. Midnight espresso $16: pretty good coffee flavor. Sakreita $15- strawberry- prob bed drink I had. Served in an aluminum can. Pretty cool

From the moment you walk in, everything just clicks -- the atmosphere, the door host, the staff, and the overall level of service. It's one of those places where you can tell the team takes pride in the experience they create. What I really like is how versatile the space feels. It works for a birthday celebration, dinner date, or even an after-work happy hour. No matter the occasion, it fits. If you're thinking about checking it out, make the trip. You won't regret it.

The best of both worlds for me and my partner, as he is obsessed with cafes and I'm more of a cocktail bar type of person. We went in the afternoon and got specialty cafe drinks and overnight oats. The drinks were really good and the oats were... oats lol. Not particularly special but not bad. After we sat down we were given water and a menu. We then went up to order. Didn't really interact w the workers much but I didn't want to anyway, I just came to chill and enjoy some cafe drinks. The atmosphere is definitely way more lively than a regular cafe, lots of people chatting and more of a cocktail bar vibe so like I said it was the best of both worlds for me and my partner. I'll probably come back here often. I live nearby so I'm super pleased with this place. Dare I say it's a neighborhood gem?

We also tried the mango no. 5 off the classics menu. My favorite was the mango no. 5--it was very smooth with a hint of spiciness. We sat in the corner at the bar behind the coffee machine, which was nice because it felt somewhat private. Bartenders tended to leave us alone and not really check on us unless we made direct eye contact with them. The vibe inside felt cozy and intimate, with very low lighting and a few couches to sit. We wanted to try the "cosmic brownie" I read reviews about, but unfortunately they no longer have it. I was excited to hear they are planning to bring it back sometime soon though. Don't know if I'd go out of my way to come back here again, but maybe if I'm in the area and want to check out a new seasonal menu. I'd also consider coming during the day for coffee.
