Nice heqt from the peppers, but my lips burned more than my tongue. Gina who made my sandwich was super sweet and helpful. I could tell she brings her best to work. They also make loaded Chicago dogs. I love it when I find a new place at an airport that I thought I had pretty mapped out.

I had a long stay at the airport since my flight wasn't until 5pm, and I had no choice but to…read morearrive around noon. I decided to stop at this restaurant for lunch. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which were actually pretty good, and a Hennessy on the rocks that came with a generous pour. My first waitress was fine, but her shift ended, so I cashed out. The second waitress, however, was slow and not attentive. Since lunch was decent, I made the mistake of returning for dinner before my flight. I went to the hostess, who seated me right away, but my waitress never came over. After waiting 20 minutes, I flagged down the hostess. She apologized, took my order herself, and brought me water. When the waitress finally showed up, I ordered another Hennessy. This time the pour was tiny, basically a tablespoon. I asked for the manager, who was dismissive and insisted that was the standard serving. His customer service skills were nonexistent. Then my food arrived, chicken wings that were burnt and tasted burnt. I told them, and they claimed that's how they're cooked. I asked for the manager again, and he said he'd have them remade. I specifically asked that they not be fried so dark. The new wings were okay, but for four whole wings at $26, it was hardly worth it. If I'm ever at this airport again, I will not return to this restaurant.

With an intimate ambiance, in Chicago's Fulton Market, Bisous brings the vibe of a 1960s Parisian cocktail lounge. Since they don't take reservations, I had a short wait at the door. Somehow, they knew exactly what I wanted, which was a seat at the bar. My favorite place to sip, exhaole, and chat with the bartenders.

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!!
