   Overall the place and ambience is great. There are many dishes to choose. there is a good deal for the bottomless mimosa or Rose and bloody marry. our server and other staff are great. Food is ok some good or some is normal. I love the french onion soup. It’s a good place to try.

   I sat at the bar and the bartender provided excellent service. I had a couple of very good drinks and dinner. The dinner service was prompt. The oysters were perfect and I had the mussels which were great. Would definitely recommend and would go back again when I return to chicago.

   Broth with the mussels was completely void of flavor; wait staff greeted us by asking if we head down there before. When we said, no, you could tell she was told to upsell the entire menu. She explained how other guests who have dined there before order from the menu, indicating they order one thing from every course. She didn’t ask us about any of our preferences, and then went into a detailed explanation of the steak Frites. (We don’t eat meat.) On the other hand, they did do a very inventive ratatouille with jalapeños.

   We had a wonderful dinner at Venteaux during restaurant week. My salad, arctic char and creme brûlée were delicious and my husband loved his onion soup, burger and chocolate dessert (rye and ?). The service was great, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere made this a great way to end a work week.

   The food was to die for. We got the Duck + Waffle, Ratatouille, and Banh My Hash - all cooked to perfection. Our mimosas were never empty and the staff was very nice the entirety of our dining experience. 10/10 would recommend.

    Device is good but the restaurant is crazily noise. Food is definitely overpriced with poor taste. It’s not worth it at all.

    This is a really nice spot. I went twice in one week. The food was good. The ambience was really nice and we had very good customer service. Our waitress Jess was professional, friendly and had good knowledge of the menu for food recommendations. It was a very cool experience. I will be coming back.

    Waitress was new and told us so. You would think b/c of being new, might be more attentive. Waitress was not. Halfway through our dinner, we had another person stop by and check up on us, and overly compliment us, as a way to make up for our original waitress shortcomings. Food and drinks were good. Also, not sure why parts of our orders (e.g., shrimp cocktail & fries) took so long to arrive - kitchen or new waitress fault? I will go back in hopes waitstaff and service improves.

    We (stupidly) gave another restaurant south of the river a chance…In short, there’s no class that far down on Michigan Avenue (and it’s really not even that far south lmao). My wife and I have essentially eaten everywhere in Chicago over these last 10 years as we’ve always lived in the city; take our advice — only venture here if you are COMPLETELY out of options.

    Couldn't have asked for a better Christmas Eve, one of the few places serving their full menu and it was amazing. The Caviar service was delicious, the duck was a true treat and I will be trying to replicate that lemon poppysead souflee until I can replicate the feeling it gave to wrap up our meal.

    Mom, sister, and had brunch here during our pre Christmas get away to Chicago. Amazing staff! Samantha the hostess made our time there so special! Waiter Tucker was fantastic! The place is beautiful with such a cool and welcoming vibe! The food was soooo good and for the portions and quality the prices were great! The bottomless mimosas were chefs kiss! That is “our spot” and can’t wait to go back there!

    I had brunch today at Venteux Brasserie Cafe & Oyster Bar to celebrate a friend’s birthday and we had a great time! The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. For brunch we both had the Duck & Waffle and shared the sausage and marble and potatoes. The duck was cooked perfectly and the was delicious. I’d give it 4/5 stars. The surprising star of the meal were the sausages! They were cooked with sage and maple syrup which deepened the level of taste; 5 stars. For dessert we shared the Pistachio Mille-Feuille and Strawberry Velvet Cake. Both were tasty, but not worth the money. Our server Tucker was awesome! He was extremely personable, provided us with top notch service, and was always around when we needed something. If you dine at Venteux Brasserie Cafe & Oyster Bar I hope you get to dine in Tucker’s section so you can experience the amazing service we did.
