Sorbet
Nathan D.

Service | Vibe | updated Service - Monica and I stopped in for a quick drink on a very hot day in Chicago. We were just looking to cool off, but the experience turned out to be much more memorable thanks to the amazing staff. The hostess was incredibly kind, and the bartender was fantastic--both offered great drink recommendations. To top it off, they surprised us with a special sorbet treat after learning we were celebrating our pregnancy announcement. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made our visit feel truly special. We highly recommend them for their exceptional service. Vibe - The space has a great vibe--open and spacious, yet thoughtfully designed with various alcoves that give it a cozy, intimate feel. The style leans toward art deco, blending artistic touches with a sense of comfort and warmth. It's a unique setting that stands out from more typical restaurant layouts. Updated - The restaurant used to have a different name when we lived in Evanston four years ago, so it was fun to return and see the familiar space reimagined. The updated décor and refreshed energy gave it a new personality that we really enjoyed. Next time we're back in town, we plan to stop in for a full meal.

Mezze platter
Kat M.

Pretty, open space with unique lighting. Food was unfortunately underwhelming. My husband's steak fritte tasted like it had no seasoning and my chicken tagine was too salty for my taste- I'm guessing from the preserved lemons. The mezze platter was good, but it was hard to scoop the chermola out of the serving jar. A small spoon would have made more sense than a knife. Service was attentive and pleasant.

Salmon Lox Bagel
Richard S.

- Ok food, good service, good ambiance - Reservation made, but was not necessary at the early time - No rush to return, but dinner could be good We have had a few French brunches recently, and were excited to try one outside of the Milwaukee area, but this experience was not something we felt stood out. The staff was friendly and attentive when we got there at opening hours and was great to confirm our outdoor seating. The brunch options had some range but few options for each branch. For the first time, my main did not fill me up, and I wish I had gotten more. I had ordered the Spicy Shakshouka which was served with khobz bread. The eggs were poached well and the sauce provided a great flavor when eaten with the khobz. I found the sauce to be too watery and overwhelming for just 2 eggs and the crumbs of goat cheese. We found a problem with the ratios later on, but the 2 pieces of harissa for the 2 eggs also felt uneven, making the stars of the meal essentially the tomato sauce and bread. While good, the tomato base tasted more like an American tomato soup, rather than a spiced tomato sauce. I am not too well-versed in Shakshouka, but the experience for this meal was just ok. My girlfriend had gotten the Salmon Lox Bagel which was also a bit off with the ratios. Not much can be said about the flavor, as it all just looked like it was cut-up with nothing additional done to it. The DIY meal came with a large smear of cream cheese, pickled onions, six (6) cucumber slices, and 2 pieces of lox. The bagel itself was cut extremely uneven, and the 6 cucumber slices really had her rationing. On the other hand, there was a lot of cream cheese (even for me!). The assembly could have been fun, but it felt like if it came out assembled, the meal would have looked a bit microscopic. Overall, this meal did not live up to our expectations and I feel a lot of differences can be made to improve our choices. While the food was not our top rating, the staff was friendly and accommodating, but did feel slow despite there not being many people there. I can imagine a few of their other options and dinner menu can provide a better experience, but until then, we are not in a rush to return.

Trout Meuniere
Kate K.

This is such a cool spot located in downtown Evanston in the old Chase Bank building. They have plenty of space inside with beautiful modern decor and also an outdoor patio. We made reservations but they had plenty of seating especially indoors. This was the first time we tried LeTour and enjoyed it. We ordered a drink and the waiter was really honest about what was good, which was really appreciated. He steered us away from a drink and recommended some specific ones. We decided to start with the Ruby Red Beets appetizer and Wow!! That goat cheese was amazing- all the flavors complimented so well. My only feedback would be more hazelnuts on top!! We had a light sprinkle and I could have used triple that amount to have a crunch in every bite. For entrees we ordered the trout meuniere and the steak/frites. The fish was outstanding- it had great flavor from the brown butter sauce and capers. The asparagus was the perfect pairing! I liked the fish better than the steak. The steak was just okay- I should have asked what cut of meat it was before I ordered but because I like mine more done it was tough. I know certain cuts can do this when you cook it longer. The fries were crispy and flavorful. The ketchup has a strong vinegar taste, which I liked! We didn't try dessert because the person I was with was avoiding sugar. I would come back! Overall experience 4/5

I came here for lunch on 6/12/23 with my family and my sister's friend's family. We arrived straight after the Northwestern all-schools ceremony and it was full of families celebrating their grads - very warm environment! The restaurant usually isn't open on Mondays but likely offered the slot due to commencement. Our server was patient as we waited for the full party to arrive, and was even more helpful as two of us had to leave early for the airport. Our dishes arrived with enough time for myself and my dad to finish our plates without feeling too rushed. They gave everyone a free shot of prosecco which was awesome. The bread was also delicious. I ordered a chicken dish with polenta and broccoli and it was pretty good. I'm not the biggest fan of the mustard taste, so the bread dip and the sauce for my chicken didn't feel life changing to me. But overall a great meal!

The LeTour Gin & Tonic.  with 2 gins (mediterranean mahon & new amsterdam), rosemary tonic  & pink peppercorns.  Delish!
Alan M.

First timer at LeTour., I Tried the Brothy Banger Mussels for dinner. Delicious and abundant. Our waitress (C.C.) was wonderful and very helpful in deciding what to choose. I was a little concerned, since the mussels mentioned a spicy harissa broth, and C.C. told me they could customize the spice to my taste since "spicy" can sometimes be overwhelming... I was grateful. I started with the LeTour Gin and Tonic. Not a traditional G&T, using two different gins, with a sprig of rosemary, and a bunch of pink peppercorns, in a large wine glass. Very pretty, and very refreshing. The "traditional" in me really wanted to find a reason to dislike it, but the actual me wanted to order a second one. My dinner partners had the Chicken Paillard and the Steak Frites. Both were quickly consumed along with their non-alcoholic "Provence in a glass", and "ma petite". We sat in a nicely decorated corner of the restaurant and people-watched while we dined, never feeling rushed, while we were well taken-care-of by C.C. We will definitely be back.

We were a party of 6 and they put us at a table which was in between the bar walkway, kitchen walkway, and front entrance walkway. I hate when I am at a restaurant and people are constantly walking behind you with barely any room to spare. Our service lacked because the water boy served us all waters and spilled. We did not tell him this right away thinking he will notice it and clean it up. NOPE! He left and we had to call someone else over to pick up all the water. How unprofessional and what lack of sense! Our food we rated at a 6/10 overall. My salmon was great the sauce of the salad was too salty. The oysters were great actually. Not too fishy, nor sandy, and very clean!! For dessert we waited about 20 mins before the waiter even told us that they were out of something that someone else had ordered at our table. Ummm why??? We had somewhere to be and nothing was said before to even notify us right away to make an alternative choice. The waiter knew we had somewhere to be. He did make up for it by giving us free dessert to go although forgot disposable spoons so again we had to ask someone else to bring it on over for us. Service lacks of an abundance!!! Ambiance is good!!! Food portions are small and are meh overall!! Go somewhere else to spend in my opinion!

Chickpea eggplant salad
Andrew D.

I came back to LeTour this past Wednesday and had a phenomenal experience across the board. The drinks were great (wine Wednesday is half off all bottles of wine!), the appetizers are wonderful and not too filling or too shy with the portion size, the chicken was absolutely delicious. Dessert was also top tier-- which was my main complaint from last time I was here. The ambiance is modern and upscale but with personable service and fun music. Our server, Rintska, was exceptional and lively without being overbearing. She also very kindly gave us an exit drink to cap off our night. This place has made changes since it opened, and for anyone looking for an upscale dinner in Evanston I'd certainly recommend it. The barn and letour -- both Amy Morton led-- are the best in town.

High quality and innovative cocktails, reasonable prices, and a chic/classy ambiance make Ward Eight must-visit! I tried two cocktails when I was at Ward 8: Remember the Main and Vieux Carre. Both were decadent, delicious, and boozy. Triple threats! I loved them both, but the "Remember the Main" was different from drinks I've had before, so that was my favorite. My husband had a local beer. They have beer, wine, and NA options for folks who aren't into cocktails. They also have food which looks scrumptious, ranging from high-end appetizers to full meals. We did not come prepared to eat, so we'll have to come back again to try food in the future! The staff were welcoming and professional. The space was clean and Gatsby-style chic. There is plenty of seating and an outdoor space for when it is warmer. It is a fancier places, so prices are higher. But you pay for the higher quality ingredients and innovative recipes.

The cocktail menu caters to many tastes, they make their own bitters, shrubs and syrups, they have a diverse collection of small batch producers and clearly a staff who know what they're doing! As a mixologist who now only plies his trade at home, I was extremely impressed!! Not that the lack of reviews seem to be hurting their business - the 3 attempts I made to visit, only one was successful (they were too busy the other times). I stumbled upon Oskars by chance - but man, am I ecstatic that I did!!! This is a gem that would easily do well in Chicago's trendiest hoods. Its interior is extremely cozy and inviting/welcoming - it reminded me of a cocktail establishment in London's brick lane neighborhood. I'm looking forward to coming back with friends as this is a cocktail bar that will impress Chicagoans and out of towners alike - and more importantly, I don't have to venture south to have a great cocktail anymore!!

While the bar was shorthanded at the time, the barman on duty did his very best as a one-man show. Can't fault them too much, someone calls out sick last minute, and that's that.

For this dish we asked that the sour cream be omitted, and that the vegan queso be substituted in place of the original queso. We also opted to "add a protein", the vegan chorizo. Soon after placing our orders, the waitress returned to let us know that there would be a $17 upcharge for each vegan queso substitution. We all looked at each other a bit dumbfounded. An order for their regular queso is $15, and an order for their vegan queso is $17, so wouldn't it make sense for the upcharge to be $2 to substitute it on the dish?! We, ultimately, decided to order one Kamoosh De La Choza, and an order of just the vegan queso. I've had and made, many a vegan ques., some, with or without cashews. This queso missed the mark for us; a bit odd in flavor and too thick to be called queso. The Kamoosh De La Choza was, otherwise, flavorful with the added vegan chorizo. The rest of our party enjoyed the burrito and enchiladas. The portions here are all large which is a plus.
