Bistronomic

I come often because Bistronomic never disappoints. My favorite onion soup anywhere. It has cheese in it but it ether wonderful broth that has me coming back. The pates are delicious. They are my favorites. It is a comfortable place to spend time in as you sip a nice wine.

All the best french food in town and the best staff!

Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Will go back

I absolutely LOVE Bistronomic - I have come here for Thanksgiving dinner for 2 years now, and have come for several dinners. The service is exceptional, and the hostess is absolutely wonderful and welcoming. The environment is cozy and inviting. The food is among the best in Chicago, and the cocktails are fantastic (unusually crafted too, I recommend the L'exotique, which is tequila with mango and jalapeno). I could not recommend Bistronomic enough, one of my favorite restaurants anywhere!

One of my favorite places in river north, feels like you’re stepping into a left bank French bistro. The food, cocktails, wine, ambience and service is always the best. Can’t wait to return

The food was excellent!

We had eaten at Bistronomic a couple of years ago and we were disappointed in the value for what we spent for the meal. In addition, we were seated close to the entrance to the restaurant which, considering the typical Chicago winter weather, was not a good place to be. This time I requested a table nowhere near the entrance! We were shown a table close to the bar, an acceptable location. It was early on a Sunday evening, so the place wasn’t crowded. I suspect if we had come a bit later, we might have been less comfortable. The tables are cited very close together. My two companions and I were very very happy with the wines and food we selected. Portions are generous and creatively prepared. Try their version of mussels!

Great bread, wine, food, atmosphere, and service. We rarely repeat restaurants because there are so many great restaurants in Chicago, but this deserve to be an exception. We will be back. Pre Fixe menu is a good deal. Even simple salads were superior.

The only disappointment was the Baked Alaska which was a bowl of vanilla ice with Carmel sauce and a square with meringue placed on top. NOT a real Baked Alaska!

My husband and I love this restaurant and make a point of eating there when we were are in Chicago. We've never been disappointed. The front of the house team is friendly and knowledgeable, and the chef and his team deliver exquisite, fresh flavors. I had the opportunity to introduce three of my good friends to this gem, and they are still raving about the experience.

Great food, great service. A classic bistro. Will definitely be coming back!

Love this little French gem!

Enjoyed this spot for a date night. Enjoyed the gnocchi, maple duck, and chicken liver mousse.

Food was great! Service was outstanding, from the hostess and coatcheck to the most wonderful waiter!

delicious food for a great value with a cozy atmosphere! Definitely coming back.

Great new year’s eve menu!

Typically New Years Eve is a challenging time for the best of restaurants. Bistronomic found a way to provide their typically excellent food quality with a packed restaurant all night. From the front of the house to the kitchen I offer praise. Well done!

Each course took a long time to come out....Our waiter disappeared before the final course...still a great restaurant but a few glitches this New Years Eve.

Food was fine but service was horrible. Took almost 20 min for the waiter to come to our table. When he did arrive he reaked of body odor. Just absolutely disgusting. Steak was overcooked but the rest of the food was delicious. The desert was so good. Overall though it was disappointing. Terrible service ruined the whole evening. Hostess was very nice though. Loved her.

Wonderful service! The only drawback is that the table is too small.

Bistronomic is one of the best restaurants in Chicago. Amazing chef, great staff and affordable yet brilliantly conceived cuisine. We highly recommend bistronomic.

Food was perfect and the service was detailed and kind. Great holiday night out.

Great experience! Bistronomic staff so accommodating to our dietary restrictions. Also, wonderfully thoughtful by enhancing our special occasion with a special greeting to our evening honorees and a celebratory dessert.
Thank you for the little details that made the evening special!

Lovely place that transports you to the heart of Paris. It’s a small place so prepare for minimal but adequate privacy. The lady in the front is extremely welcoming and kicks off a wonderful evening. The gnocchi is amazing! Service is a little slower than traditional American places but on par with Parisian establishments.

We're always treated like rock stars at Bistronomic and everything we've eaten there has been delightful. This time, I thought the bed of lentils was a particularly goo

Great last minute selection on the day after Christmas. Our server was very attentive and friendly, provided a very easy pace for our dinner, and recommended a very good bottle of wine that was reasonably priced. The food was excellent bistro fare. The room is nice, a bit busy at the front where we were placed. I would try to ask for the mid to back next time. The hostess was also very nice and stopped to ask how are meal was. I will return next time we are visiting Chicago. The location was very convenient to several of the better hotels off of the Magnificent Mile which is a plus.

Sat at the bar with my husband prior to the theatre.....been wanting to try Bistronomic. It was cozy, delicious and a wonderful evening

Every time I dine here the food is always outstanding. My family and I enjoy the options and the presentation. However, when dining here on a holiday beware that they automatically add a 20% gratuity. This seemed like a sly move on the part of the restaurant as 1.) it caught us off guard as there was no mention of this when booking our reservation, nor was it listed on the menu, nor was it mentioned by our waiter, and 2.) it takes away the discretion of the dining patron to decide how the service was, thus negating the purpose of a gratuity, and 3.) it removes the incentive on the part of the server to provide good service.

Wonderful and creative food combined with impeccable service and elegant decor.

Of particular note are the cauliflower soup and duck confit for appetizers; the rack of lamb and short ribs were succulent and beautifully prepared.

We ate there on Christmas Eve and Bistronomic was perfect for this special occasion!

The food was fantastic and all the servers were attentive and helpful.

Our first time and we thought the food and service were fantastic. A cozy, comfortable setting. Food was very good, excellent flavors.

Superior food and service! This is a place I will bring my family and friends.

Always my go to place for a great meal with wonderful ambience.

Small restaurant. Pleasant staff and excellent French-American food. An adult restaurant-not suitable for young children.

Love this warm, welcoming restaurant. Food and service always great, and you can have a conversation without shouting over the noise.

Good food and good service

Wonderful meal! My husband had the duck, and I had steak fries. Both had excellent sauces. The waitstaff was welcoming and efficient. I cannot wait to go back.

Our group was looking forward to dinner here, but unfortunately did not have the experience we had hoped. For a number of reasons we will not be going back nor will we recommend this restaurant.

The Chef and the staff are remarkably warm and welcoming and the food is amazing. One of the best dining experiences I had in 20 years of dining out in Chicago!

When in Chicago I make Bistronomic a must visit dining experience. I also attempt to duplicate their wine list for my home cellar.

Best chef. Best restaurant. Best service. Best value. If you haven't eaten here, why not?
