    Decent French restaurant in river north. The space is very cool. Steak tartare, a little smaller portion and blander than other places I get this from. Lyonnaise salad very very good but also a smaller portion than used to getting. Had a couple cocktails. No complaints bur the pours were low. I also take issue with the 3% added to the tip. I understand why, but I feel that it’s dishonest to customers. The prices should be 3% added on the menu prices. This is not a tax. It’s a necessary addition for the restaurant to survive. However, adding it onto the check is just completely dishonest to patrons. I will go likely go back, I do like their menu and have more things I want to try

    Our second visit! Food and service were excellent! I was the only person to ask for a doggie bag. My serving of tenderloin was generous and excellent. The others who had octopus, trout and scallops cleaned their plates. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful atmosphere. Professional service, The Sommelier Tom was outstanding in making well considered recommendations. Expansive French focused wine list. Food was excellent although certainly not that of a Beer focused Brasserie by the French definition. The offerings are traditional French Bistro dishes stylized to a restaurant level of preparation and presentation. Strong recommendation.

    French brasserie with modern, contemporary flair. It is a stunning and sophisticated room. However, the food needs a bit more ‘push’ (maybe a hint of seasoning).

    This is our third time at Le Select. Our bill for 4 people was $999.35. For starters, we ordered a bottle of bubbly, oysters, pâte, escargot, tuna tartare and beef tartare. As you can tell, we were not going to have a small bill. Well, for each item that required bread to eat it, they brought 3 Pieces. So frustrating and ridiculous. You have 4 people trying to ration the bread so everyone can have a piece. Just classless and cheap. I asked for additional bread and offer to pay extra. We then politely sat there not eating until we got the bread. This should never happen.

    We had an amazing evening at Select Brasserie! The ambiance is classy, fresh and modern. The food was really well prepared and delicious, seasoned perfectly, not salty.We had the poulet roti-which was so tender, flavorful and juicy, the filet, which was a great cut of meat, also seasoned perfectly and done just as we ordered it. As a side we tried the ratatouille, which was also very flavorful. The dessert was incredible! Many wonderful choices, hard to pick, but we enjoyed the profiteroles! All portion sizes were generous, not skimpy but not over the top huge. Service was outstanding! Erica was very attentive. Managers checked in on us during and after the meal to see how everything was. A great night overall! Will definitely recommend and return!

    Wine selection was fairly limited. Service didn’t overlap very well between server and sommelier. Staff was very professional, however. Would keep it upper tier for desirability but there are LOTS of other options in Chicago, and would therefore be hard pressed to come here again upon a revisit to this wonderful city.

    Love the ambiance and the food was pretty good. Service, however, left a LOT to be desired. After we got our first appetizers, we waited about 40 mins for the soup. The bus boy said he'd check on it then never came back with an update. Then we asked our waiter what was going on. He went back to check then never stopped back at our table despite passing us at least 3 times. In fact, he only ever came once the entire meal to ask how things were. My husband asked for the menu to order another drink early in the meal and that was never delivered. We ordered dessert as we were finishing the entrees so we could make it back to our car before the meter ran out. They then forgot to bring my husband's coffee so he was having to down it so we could get out in time. They did not look short staffed and the waiter made several stops at tables around us and could have easily made an effort to check in but did not. We did get a ton of water refills which only made us full faster as we sat waiting for our food.

    We had great expectations of this beautiful, romantic, French restaurant but the waiter let us down. We sat for long periods without wine and water. It took forever to be served. Our table of six had to get our second bottle of wine from the counter and pour it ourselves. That shouldn’t happen, especially at this price point. The appetizers were delicious: escargot, tomato and white bean salad, anchovies and avocado- all perfect. Please fix your service or you’ll ruin a really special place.

    Can’t thank Le Select enough for honoring my request that our party be seated somewhere quiet. My mother-in-law hates loud or even normal noisy restaurants and I requested in my reservation that they place us away from too much noise. These superstars set us up in one of the separate rooms off the main dining room. And the second we sat down, my mother-in-law and her husband both commented on how quiet it was and how nice it was. Food was wonderful. Drinks and service were fantastic, but I can’t tell you enough how much of a difference honoring that one request made. Thank you.
