What a delightful spot! My husband and I met friends here on a Saturday night for pre-dinner drinks. It's absolutely lovely inside and I enjoyed the French 75, but also tried sips of several other cocktails and they were all fantastic. Service was outstanding. I can't wait to come back here. read more

One of the best cocktail spots in Chicago. It is a fairly large space, so you don't have to worry about super long waits for a seat. We came twice in one week and got seats at the bar both times, but they also have tables and a large lounge-ish space in back that looks good for groups. It has a great energy during the week and weekend. The cocktails are top notch. We tried a few, my wife fell in love with the pink squirrel, which she said was the best version of that classic she has ever had. She enjoyed it so much, she had two. Better than dessert. For me, my favorite was the gibson, which was so clean and potent. I enjoy a good martini, and this is one of the best. The food options are limited, more like snacks, but they are elevated. The olives and cheese is a small dish that comes swimming in a honey citrus sauce. Solid accompaniment. I would love to come back as the menu changes and try more. read more

Whether an intimate first date or a night out with your besties, Bisous is exactly that--*chef's kiss* and not to be missed. The no res policy may mean a short wait pending on the time of night but this quaint cocktail spot is maybe my new fave in the city for a pre-dinner drink. They have a small menu of snack-forward bites if you're feeling peckish but otherwise plan to imbibe with delicious flavored bevvys and an immaculate vibe. read more

My expectations were way too high. Julia Momose of kumiko fame stated via instagram that this was the best new bar. Secondly the hostess alleged that this was one of the best places to get drinks. Neither opinion can be further from the truth. The drink weren't flavor forward & honestly tasted like your run of the mill drinks. Prices are moderate & theres no reservations so be prepared to freeze while in line or at the standby tables inside while the staff seat the friends while you wait. read more

Bisous is a wonderful, trendy bar in Fulton Market. Expect a bit of a line when going on a Friday night (around the 8pm time frame at least), but once you're inside the wait pays off: super friendly staff, very helpful in making your next drinks choice, and cosy interior bringing it all together. Their wine list is impressive and a tad funky, matching the vibe perfectly. A perfect spot to bring a date, catch up with a friend or meet new people. read more

Gave this place another try and had an absolutely amazing time thanks to the wonderful staff and manager. Since opening, Bisous has totally refined their beverages and service. Everything here is top notch. This is a great spot for drinks with a friend or a romantic evening. The vibe here was great-- it was busy yet intimate and perfect for an early Friday night. We ordered a variety of cocktails off of their menu and enjoyed every one. I especially enjoyed the signature Paloma. The pink squirrel was deliciously creamy and unique! These drinks were innovative and unlike other cocktail bars I've been too. I also enjoyed the small bites menu here. We tried the bonbons. These are made in house and rotate through a variety of flavors. Ours were cherry, chocolate, and hazelnut. Delicious! read more

Our first stop on a Chicago bar crawl. Such a great spot. We came here with a large party of 30, preplanned. The staff and location were excellent. We sat in the back area and ordered drinks plus small appetizers which was perfect. They have a large variety of spirits to choose from. I wanted something with rum and was introduced to a Classic cocktail called Airmail based on rum, lime or lemon juice, honey, and sparkling wine. So good! A perfect place to start the night's festivities. It's down the street from the Emily hotel. read more

We came for a happy hour drink before dinner on a Saturday, and we were able to be seated immediately without a reservation. The menu had a lot of martini or martini adjacent options, but there were also some good beer and wine options as well, and the servers were able to make recommendations based on what flavor profiles we were interested in. The ambiance was warm and inviting, but still modern and chic. We also ordered some marinated olives, and I remember the orange peel and oil on them was delicious. And the drinks themselves were great! Would definitely come back. read more

I tried the pink squirrel drink and it was so yummy! I asked for something sweet and the bartender told me to just blindly trust in him. He did not disappoint! I really enjoyed the drink, it tasted like a smoothie with the consistency. The other drink we tried was the reverse, the middle one in the pic which felt a little too strong for me. Ambiance is so cute! Definitely a romantic atmosphere and a great place to stop by for a drink with friends or a date! read more

Bisous is an outstanding addition to the Fulton Market/West Loop area of Chicago. My husband and I stopped by around 7:30pm on a Friday evening. I was initially worried that there would be a long wait when I saw a small group of people waiting outside the bar. After speaking to the outside host, he assured us that there likely wouldn't be a wait for a table of two people. After he checked inside, we were seated right away. Larger groups of people may have a bit of a wait for a table here. The bar was much bigger than I expected. There is a main seating area and then another section off the back. The decor is beautiful! I also loved the dark and romantic vibes. I normally don't gravitate towards martini's, but I was very intrigued by their martini menu. I ordered the Aristocrat ( Aged Aquavit, Apple Brandy, Oloroso Sherry, Cap Corse Blanc). This martini grew on me and I loved the multi-layered flavors. We both also ordered the Norwegian Wood cocktail (Apple Brandy, Scotch, Pommeau de Normandie, Maraschino). I loved the flavors from this cocktail as well. The service, cocktails, and atmosphere helped make this a memorable experience. I look forward to coming back again soon. read more

I've had a really great experience here and a really bad experience here. My great experience was sitting at the bar. The bartenders are fantastic! And the cocktails are delicious. The vibe is fun and dark and moody and just a cool atmosphere. My bad experience was sitting at a table. I ordered a french 75 made with vodka instead of gin. Gin makes me really sick. I have an allergy to it. I told the waitress that when I ordered. She said they couldn't make it with vodka because it "ruins the integrity of the cocktail". I let her know I've had this cocktail with vodka many many times and I like it, plus (again) gin makes me really sick. She eventually said fine. Welp, it wasn't fine. My cocktail was made with gin and I have been sick for the past week. When I sat at the bar previously, the bartenders had no issue making a French 75 with vodka, so I think it is perhaps just this waitress that had an issue with it. I will only go back if I can sit at the bar. I am too scared to sit at a table in case I have that waitress again. read more

First, let me say the hostess was definitely one of the best parts of this cocktail bar, she surely enjoys her job and has great energy! My best friend and I came here to have a few cocktails before our dinner and I absolutely loved the vibe in here! Although it was sort of noisy, you didn't notice it much! I think the vibe works well if you're looking for a social atmosphere for your party. We both ordered the Pink Squirrel, which was so delicious! It was like a milkshake that wasn't super thick! Needless to say, after two Pink Squirrels I definitely felt a buzz and that doesn't happen for me often with cocktails! This is such a cute place to start your night, chat, have some light bites and just chill (socially)! read more

Loved coming here for a nightcap! The place is gorgeous and has this old school vibe but yet still modern. The chairs we sat in were so comfortable and each table was separated just enough that you really felt like you had your own space. We didn't get a chance to try the food. We grabbed their French 75, pink squirrel, and an espresso martini. All them were made to perfection! Our favorite ended up being the Pink Squirrel which I normally wouldn't go for because it of it being a "sweet drink" but it most definitely was not obnoxiously sweet. I can't wait to come back here! read more

We went on a Friday evening and waited 10-15 minutes for a group of four people which wasn't bad. All staff were so fun and personable. Good vibes all around. Very cute decor and more spacious than I anticipated compared to what I could see when waiting outside. The music level is good - I could still have a conversation with my friends. The drinks are strong here, making your money's worth. I'm already a lightweight but nonetheless drinks are very tasty. My group ordered the French 75, Martinez, and Reverse. I ordered the French 75 and Reverse. The French 75 is light. The Reverse was too strong for me - probably because of the sake. I'll be ordering the French 75 again on my next visit. read more

I believe this is a newer establishment in the West Loop area (as the West Loop continues to further expand more west). There was about a 5-10 minute wait when we got there which we were totally fine about. The nice thing is the doorman/bouncer was actually super friendly and gave us great energy from the start as we waited in line. Once we were seated even the lady who sat us was super super friendly. Our server was nice but nothing more than that. Didn't really affect our time there, but she was the least conversational out of anyone else. We ordered a cocktail each and both really liked ours. This is a great spot for any occasion quite honestly. I love the "French" themes and how it's all related to "kisses". read more

My wife and I have been coming to Bisous a couple of times a month since opening. We have brought family, we have brought friends. We have recommended the bar to people from the city and across the country. Everybody loves this place This is an excellent Cocktail Bar. We enjoy sitting at the bar sitting in the Booth and sitting at the tables. Our first time at the bar, we met one of the head bartenders, John and I described a drink I had at a cocktail bar in Paris, Le Syndicate which he was able to match. It has five ingredients and while I know the base ingredients I cannot tell you the exact recipe. My wife Gena always drinks an Aviation and if they cannot make that right we never come again On one occasion, I came in and John was not at work that day, and the manager called him up to get the recipe for the bartender to make my drink We are at the point now, where all of the bartenders know exactly what my wife and I will drink when we come in. My drink now, while not on the menu has a key in the order system. Huge shoutout to the Manager Jake, Bartenders John, Hannah, AJ & Julio and the rest of the staff. They treat us like family They are always at the top of their game and deserve all the recognition they are receiving. read more

Bisous a super chic bar in Fulton's Market - a few door down from Blind Barber and Rosemary. It has a French bistro vibe that completely creates a unique vibe due to deemed lights. I came by during a night out with one of my girlfriends and the bartenders were super fun. One took care of getting us settled at the bar and provided some recommendation while one of the other bartenders made our drinks. The staff behind the bar were super friendly and they each ensure we were well taken care of. We both settled on the Pink Squirrel - to me it tasted like a refined version of an espresso martini.

It is definitely unique, creative, and a massive differentiator from any other cocktail bar I've been to. Now, let's talk cocktails! The creativity of the interior extends into the menu. Unlike some places that just make variations of existing classics (except for items specifically so named, like the Old Fashioned or Espresso Martini), all of their cocktails are unique and interesting. Time for a punch card? I ordered the Maximillian the Imposter. While I'm not typically a fan of banana (except for banana bread), I thought I'd step out of my comfort zone, and I wanted to try something 'flaming'. Flaming it was! The preparation of the drink involved a surprising amount of fire. I initially thought this was just for show, but no, this translated into a noticeable smoky flavor. Beyond that, the drink was strong, not overly sweet, and an all-around delight. There was one bartender on the night I was here, and while it was busy, I was still able to get my drink in a reasonable amount of time. I also feel as though they have reasonable prices, especially considering the quality and the market rates. King of Cups gets busy, and for good reason: they are an all-around phenomenal place, from the drinks to the vibe, and everything in between. If you're someone who likes a seat rather than fighting through a crowd, get a reservation! See you there!

You know it is these days - most places just knock a dollar off and call it a day. This one is legit! I'd say you should make a reservation for prime time to ensure you'll have a seat. However when it's early no big deal to just pop by. I enjoyed the plum Moscow mule (not too sweet!) and the espresso martini. Both are on draft which made me nervous from past experiences at other places. However, these were great and I LOVED their espresso martini. The bartender was kind and the vibes were off the charts. Check this place out next time you're in Lincoln Park!

A dimly lit, cramped, dark, and friendly space rests a fondue restaurant made for a night out with…read morefriends, date night, or just a desire for melted cheese. A guitarist sits somewhere against a brick wall and plays music lightly but energetically. Service is friendly from start to finish and smiles are on everyone's faces. The menu is pretty easy to understand. You can get a three-course meal, or you can get each entree à la carte. You have two fondue candles in front of you, one for the cheese and dessert, and the other for the oil. We chose the three-course meal, and it was delightful. We started with the cheese appetizer. You get a basket of bread and fruit and we chose the seasonal cheese to dip. The oil for our meat was then left to heat, and we received a massive platter of veggies and meats for our main course. We chose the option for all selections of meat and seafood. After trying all the meats, I would opt for the lobster and shrimp. You can also substitute the oil for a broth. I would like to try the broth for next time. In one of the shakers, Gejas makes their own meat spice mix. It's recommended to put on the meats and even the desserts. It's a mix of tangy and savory and was a great compliment to the meal. We then chose the seasonal dessert, a white chocolate with vanilla cookies. Fruit, marshmallows, and churros to dip. We were so full by the time dessert came, but we enjoyed a few bites and took it home. The three-course meal, with five types of meat, came with about 10 pieces of meat. It doesn't look like a lot of food, but it truly is, with the apps, veggies, etc, your stomach will be full when you walk out of here. They also start the entire course with a mixed salad (so technically it's a four-course meal). It was very fairly priced, as well. Initially looking at the prices, you may think it's expensive, but it truly is a value with the amount of food they serve. This was rated as most romatic restaurant in Chicago. Its ambiance gives you the romantic feel, the guitarist adds to the atmosphere, and the staff is professional and friendly. This really was a great place and we enjoyed our time and meal.

We were…read morelucky enough to have a table off the side by the window so it maintained the intimate feel without feeling cramped by other tables. Food-wise, it was very fun to cook everything ourselves. I do think the appetizers were my favorite part because I do just love fruits and cheeses, but everything was great. They were also very accommodating of celiac. Overall, we had a wonderful anniversary celebrating at Geja's.

Those are typically very good which is why I come back. The burger though. Why is it such a consistent disappointment? It's small, has the pancetta (a nice rubbery disc of salt) and just seems like kind of an afterthought to the otherwise well-considered menu. I've been eating it on occasion for 10+ years here always with the hope that it has improved. I would love to see a do-over on the burger. It would be great to have a place in the neighborhood that consistently delivered. As it stands, it's a distant second to RJ Grunt's, Small Cheval and not even in the same realm as Armitage Alehouse's burger. Really hoping I get to come back and revise this review to rave about how much better it got. The staff is always very nice and attentive as well. From host stand to bartenders, waitstaff and everyone clearing and setting, always a very nice group that seems like they take pride in their work, which is much appreciated.

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.

I really wanted to like it; this was a nine-year anniversary dinner. Service was really attentive and friendly and I did appreciate that they brought out specific utensils for me as a left-handed person, never saw that before! The restaurant felt a bit bare and sterile, I think I was maybe expecting a little more decor on the table for a Michelin star restaurant. To echo several of the reviews below, the salad was awkward to share and scanty, the soup was good but the bread served with it felt like an afterthought, the sturgeon wasn't anything special though the sauce was quite good, and we are pretty sure the cut of beef was not wagyu or if it was it was not cooked the right way. The beef was the most disappointing part, I couldn't even chew through all of it. The add-ons were the best part - pasta was great and our dessert was delicious. But the rest of the meal was unfortunately mediocre. Hoping that others have a different experience with the regular menu!

It was a nice,…read moreupscale experience, and I appreciate that we were able to try this Michelin-starred restaurant at a reduced cost. There was no problem with a vegetarian accommodation, but the menu we were handed does not include the details for the vegetarian courses - disappointing that I couldn't reference this to see the details of each course. All of the food was presented tastefully with meticulous attention to detail. The salad is brought out as a shared dish, which is potentially a bit awkward. Not a problem since I was dining with my husband, but I would have preferred my own salad if I was with a less familiar party. The silverware and dishes were works of art in and of themselves, but our table was scratched up considerably. My dessert was presented very creatively - although my husband's was much more straightforward. Dessert was an optional add-in, so a separate bill was brought out for this at the end. My husband carelessly left a tip on top of the hefty service charge they apply by default, but I didn't realize until after the fact since I'd gone to the restroom.

Chicago Restaurant week. I reviewed various dining options in search of a good place for dinner…read more Reddit gave me some ideas. I'd never been to Willow Room and liked that they had a four course dinner menu, with items I liked. I was able to make a reservation for a Saturday night at 8:15pm. PARKING Parking on Halsted on a Saturday night can be a nightmare, and it did take a minute to find street parking. North of the 1800 block is busier because there are several restaurants within a two block radius. Side streets are permit parking after 6pm. Meters on Halsted are $2.50/hr. ATMOSPHERE Willow Room was pretty packed. We had a reservation for 8:15pm and my party of two was seated right away. The restaurant features a full bar, dim lighting and is nice and roomy. They have banquette seating around the perimeter, in addition to tables in the middle. SERVICE Our server, who was very nice and accommodating during our dining experience, came by and gave us our menu's. I had already decided on the RW menu and after review, my friend was interested in the Beef Wellington (not on RW menu). Our server informed us that normally the whole table had to order off of the RW menu if one person does, but said she would check with the kitchen since this was the last day of RW. Luckily, we were able to proceed with ordering from different menu's. FOOD I ordered a raspberry Cosmopolitan. I'm a Riesling/Moscato girlie, but I tasted the Riesling and didn't like it. RW dinner was priced at $60. I ordered: First Course: Caesar Salad (Typical salad, was good) Second Course: Mussels (Tasted fine, came with a baguette) Third Course: Short Rib (Could've been slightly more tender and better seasoned. I've definitely had better. Wouldn't order again.) Fourth Course: Orange Ricotta Donuts (Donuts were very good. Three were served, a few more would have been more filling.) My friend ordered a glass of Pinot Noir and: Truffle Fries (Fries were very tasty. I would order again if I went back.) Beef Wellington (The breading was buttery and very good. The beef could've been more seasoned. I wouldn't order.) Key Lime Pie (Was not sweet and had no taste. When our server came back and saw it was uneaten, she offered to take it off the bill. It should be removed from the menu altogether.) The busboys and server were very attentive. Our water glasses were always filled. OVERALL The atmosphere was nice, our server was great. Of all the food we ordered, I would order the truffle fries and Cosmopolitan again. I did leave full and did take my leftover Short Rib to go. Main dishes needed more seasoning. I would dine here again and try a different menu (brunch/lunch), or Happy Hour if they offer it.
