I feel bad leaving this review, but I was not impressed by the food and am doubtful we'd come back. What we liked and would recommend: Foccocia Double burger (although did not care for their fries which were too soft) - Armitage Alehouse has a better burger/fries The vegan risotto was pretty terrible and I do not recommend this dish. The brussel sprouts were fine but also not something I'd reorder. The escargot was bland and the puff pastry on top tasted like a frozen pastry. They are trying to compete with Armitage Alehouse and Bavettes but it just doesn't have the same quality of food and the service was uneven.

We had a tight time limit before heading to the airport, and our server, Jess, did a great job managing the pacing without ever making us feel rushed. We started with the Tuna Crudo. Super fresh, beautifully presented and one of the highlights of the meal. Next was the Watermelon with prosciutto, pecorino, candied pecans and chili oil. An unusual combination that delivered a nice mix of sweet and heat. We split the Radiatore "Cacio e Pepe" with pecorino romano and black pepper. It's very rich, so splitting it worked perfectly. Both the Tuna Crudo and Cacio e Pepe are signature dishes, and I can understand why. We finished with the Toffee Zelten, served with cinnamon-roasted nuts, bourbon whipped panna cotta, oranges and vanilla gelato. Another great dessert to finish a terrific meal. I also loved the airy, contemporary interior, and there's outdoor seating as well. Great food, great service and a restaurant I'd absolutely visit again.

The restaurant is very vibey, dim lighting, beautiful interior but can be a little loud. Friday at 8:30 was pretty busy and we could tell the staff was working hard. We weren't in a rush but some of the service was a little slow. However, they were really on top of refilling waters! Highlights: as appetizers we ordered the smashed and fried potato side dish (with herbs, lemongrass and chutney) + paneer and citrus salad. These were amazing, flavorful and still thinking about them! Mains: tikka masala (2) and chicken pot pie (with bone marrow). Honestly the appetizers were so flavorful, our mains didn't blow us away. They were still good! Dessert: oh my! we had a bday celebration and were gifted ice cream and toffee sauce (+ a special lasting of the chocolate martini which we really appreciated). We also orders the flourless cake (gluten free friendly) and the sticky date cake (everyone seemed to love it- melt in your mouth. I wish I could've licked the plate clean but we were so full!! excited to try this place again and explore the menu. All the drinks were delicious and the food was good!

Dining area offers a pre-fixe 5 course menu for $145 or a la carte. 2/5 courses are chosen by you so there is room for choices. The bar area is for walk-ins with a different menu offered. We were greeted with a card wishing us a happy anniversary signed by staff which was very thoughtful. I got the Mallorcan highball to drink. Their drink menu goes from lowest to highest spirit which is helpful. I wanted something light and fruity to drink and the Mallorcan highball is exactly that! Def recommend for the girlys. Course 1: The first bites come on a wooden lazy susan which was so cute. I could've eaten like 20 of those bites. Our fav was the sweet corn bite - tastes like an elote. Course 2: We both chose the Hokkaido scallop. Very light and refreshing. Came with more pieces of fish than I thought. Presentation was great! Course 3: This was a pasta dish with a chicken broth. Came with a grain toast which was great. The pasta paired perfectly with the broth. Very savory. Course 4: My husband chose the ribeye and I got the quail. Both were delicious! The texture and flavor of the quail was top tier!! This course also came with a side of white beans from Italy. Course 5: This was a blueberry cheesecake dessert with a corn cookie and yuzu ice cream. Amazing!! They also brought out mini strawberry cookies. To end the night, we got sent home with some miso sesame snickerdoodle cookies. Such a treat!!

I first heard about Petite Edith on either Eater or Infatuation. It caught my eye because: its…read moreRiver North location was within walking distance of our hotel near Water Tower, it was French (a fave cuisine), and it's helmed by Michelin-starred chef (for Restaurant Esme) Jenner Tomaska and partner Katrina Bravo. Plus the online menu had Lobster Vol au Vent as an entree, which caught my eye. It turns out the menu changes about 4 times a year and the current menu was different, but still very enjoyable. Petite Edith is on the ground level of a tall residential building (part of a large mixed-use development) and has windows facing the street as well as a landscaped area at the rear, where they have an outdoor patio. The space is quite lovely and fairly large. There's a huge U-shaped bar that's very popular (there's a Happy Hour menu), then the dining room, with a private dining area curtained off. The menu is divided into several parts: Fruits de Mer , Avant le Plat, le Pain, and plats de mer & de terre, plus some specials of the day. Here's what we ordered: Fruits de Mer: oysters, which came topped with chives and an interesting savory granita instead of a mignonette. Avant le Plat: these were starters/sides. "Franklin" frites. Crispy fries with an aioli dip Seared foie gras. Deliciously decadent, with a brioche disc and corn. Grilled cauliflower. A daily special. Nicely charred with a perky persillade sauce (raw garlic, parsley) le Pain: bread. Our server recommended the Pain au Fromage, a baguette topped with 3 cheeses (Gruyere, raclette and cheddar, if I recall correctly), sumac and pomegranate seeds. So delish and rich! Plats: one from the land, one from the sea. Cassoulet. A confit duck leg (thigh and drumstick), pork shoulder and cannelloni beans. Rib-stickingly good. Turbot en Brioche. Fish with a buttery brioche crust and a beurre blanc sauce with mussels. Also delish. We were too full for desserts, but the menu had traditional French options like Floating Island and Apple Tart Tatin. Overall a fab meal in a very pretty space. We would later try another one of Chef Tomaska's restaurants, The Alston steakhouse, which was even closer to our hotel. When I return, hopefully the Lobster Vol au Vent will be on the menu.

The pour off was a fun little competition for two bartenders to compete for the win of best cocktail. Such a cool concept and friendly competition! Here's what I didn't like: The passed food - there was literally just 3 things served: 1) was prosciutto on cantaloupe, 2) chilled prawns and 3) deviled eggs stuffed with salmon I liked the eggs but how many eggs can you snack on? Would have liked to have the opportunity to order from their menu. That would have totally driven business sales if they had appetizers that we could have purchased too. I didn't like how inconsistent the drink pours were. We literally got half a cup per cocktail and noticed some people had full cups. I'm not sure why they were so small but for $15 per ticket per drink this was not cool. See photo of my drink and 2 friend's drinks after they were first served. That was wild. The new manager there was great, she came around and mingled and checked on everyone. The head manager or owner was excellent as well! He was working so hard! I would come back for food although when the menu finally opened up at the end of the event at 3, the menu was very unappealing. Feedback would be to let us buy more foods. Make a more consistent pour. Better advertisement! This was a great idea. The vibe was so chill. I would return!

My husband wanted to go here for his birthday dinner but we couldn't get a reservation online, so we showed up around 6pm as a walk in. Turns out they refuse to maintain a walk-in waitlist so we had to wait outside to be "first in line" when a table opened up and it was only for bar seating. Removing a star for this because I think a waitlist is a reasonable and beneficial thing to do as a restaurant with limited reservations and a small dining area. Once we got seats at the bar, the experience was great. They were busy but food came out in a good timeframe, always hot and delicious, and the service was solid. Steak frites nailed our cravings and we were too full for dessert but the desserts looked amazing as servers carried them by.

For a fall evening you could still sit outside as they have heaters but considering the quality of food and service, I suspect this place is going to be busy in the winter so make a reservation when you can. We started with the ceviche, tartare and octopus. The Ceviche and tartare were out of this world. Citrusy without being too overpowering and the tartare was served on a warm crispy rice cake: For our mains we had the catch of the day - sea bass. Served at the table whole but butterflied, it was perfectly cooked. Fresh and juicy with slightly seared ends. How they got their chicken so juicy is beyond me but it was so good. We finished with ice cream and the orange cake which again was tasty with the fresh taste of the orange coming out. Our waiter was Ilias (I hope I spelt that right) and he was fantastic. Attentive and so helpful. I hope we get him the next time!

We had a lovely first dinner at Noema for our wedding anniversary. Terrific food, professional…read moreservice, and a beautiful atmosphere made this a great place for a special occasion. Service here was top notch. Our server was thoughtful, appropriately attentive, and gave us great recommendations. We started with the crispy Feta parcel given some advanced research on its popularity, and it did not disappoint. This is my new favorite appetizer! It was shatteringly crispy with an incredible Feta inside that was complimented perfectly by the fig chutney and honey that accompanied it. We chose the catch of the day for our entree and were nicely warned that it was huge: a two-pound sea bass. So we ordered just one side, with the roasted market vegetables as the recommendation. Both were terrific - the fish was the star, but the mixed roasted vegetables were closely behind. The fish came with a citrusy sauce that added acid without overpowering the flavor of the fish. The vegetables were a mix of zucchini, eggplant, and red peppers and were perfectly roasted with salt and olive oil. Simple and an excellent accompaniment to the fish. We were stuffed at that point but couldn't resist sharing a dessert. We chose the orange cake, which ended up not quite being what we expected. It seemed like an olive oil cake, which is heavier than we like, but I would say this shortfall was mostly a matter of taste rather than poor execution (though I'm not sure given my lack of experience with olive oil cakes). The only disappointment of the evening was that I'd noted in the reservation that it was our anniversary, but no one wished us a happy anniversary. I found this very surprising given how excellent the service was otherwise. Maybe it was missed in the online reservation. It would have been nice to have that acknowledged. All in all, this is a beautiful restaurant with delicious food, and I'd highly recommend it for a special night out.

The ambience, with scents, light and table decor that changed with the theme of the food being served was truly out of this world! Staff were knowledgeable and clearly proud of the food and the wine they were serving. The sommelier knew details of the wineries that produced the wine being served. Each course of the 20+ courses we had were a unique and absolutely pleasant experience. Pork belly, the halibut and the coconut vinaigrette were probably my favorite three items of the menu I experienced. Highly recommend it! Again, worth every single penny spent!

In short, the food was fantastic but we felt like second class citizens in a first class restaurant. Atmosphere, was interesting. The first floor looked quite cool with dark lighting with blue undertones and an interestingly homey yet upscale space. I've never seen anything quite like it. But we didn't sit on the first floor. We sat on the second floor in the back near the staff service area and bathroom. So there were people constantly going back and forth, it was occasionally loud and I had to stare at EXIT signs all dinner. The table was also large and metal, which I'm sure is intentional for some reason, but it felt cold and uninviting. Note it's normal for typical restaurants to have good seats and bad seats. But at a great restaurant, there are no bad seats. And I was surprised to get one at a 2 Michelin star restaurant. Service / staff was very nice and even accommodated an unusual request on my part, which I really appreciated. While our main server who brought most of our food was sharp. It was clear that others were new. They'd talk low where you can't hear them or were clearly still "memorizing their lines." I totally understand that people have to practice to be good. But I've never been to a restaurant where I can visibly tell the staff in training versus the experienced team. Now the food. The food was INCREDIBLE. Every dish had an innovative twist in a way you've never had before. All the platings were creative and made you engage with the course in a different way. The highlight was the desert. The way they prepared in on the table was special. It was delicious and I'm 90% sure the music in the room actually changed as they prepared it. If it didn't, it sure felt like it.
