    Service was slow, didn't get our wine until first course arrived. Food was very good, but for this experience it needs to be spot on for service.

    INCREDIBLE!!! Dining at Les Nomades is an unforgettable experience. Classic French cuisine cooked to perfection. The waitstaff are well trained. The atmosphere is quiet and elegant, yet not stuffy. Unlike restaurants that try to wow you with every crazy concoction they can come up with, Les Nomades is traditional food that exceptional. It's pricey, but worth every penny. Thank you Mary Beth and Roland Liccione.

    Always delightful. The service, the ambience, and, most of all, the food, are outstanding! Incredibly friendly staff, knowledgeable about the food and the wine. The proprietor, Mary Beth, makes it a point to personally greet every guest. The new outside landscaping just adds to the cache of this gem.

    My husband and I celebrated our almost 30-year wedding anniversary last night. We enjoyed all of our dishes from amuse-bouche to desserts & coffee. Amazing sauces for each dish! Wonderful service by Jose! He made me feel more comfortable in a very classy, formal French restaurant. Thank you very much! Tomoko

    Completely beyond any other restaurant you’ll visit in Chicago-elegant and comfortable yet unpretentious. Everyone in our party found each dish of the multi-course dinner be delicious, prepared with the finest quality ingredients and beautifully presented. The wait staff anticipated our every need without being intrusive. I regret I am limited to only five stars. Les Nomades is deserving of many more.

    Wonderful experience. Lots of good food for the prix fixe menu. Began with asparagus risotto, quite interesting; lobster salad had lots of meat. Dover sole was a new approach. Food is updated high quality classic French, as it has been modernized in the past decade in France. Just superb, and a real treasure. And the soufflé at the end was perfect. Impecable and friendly service (sat upstairs, well attended to). An absolute delight and treasure.

    Fantastic restaurant, food and service were impeccable, ambiance was very nice and it was quiet enough that we could talk to each other without raising our voices. The warm lobster 2nd course is not to be missed, the prime rib was succulent, and the dessert souffle is always fantastic.
