   Good place for drinks and nice ambiance. Only issue was the tables were too close together and a door kept slamming due to high wind.

   Great time! Great food and wonderful service! We had a large group of 11 people and our server was fantastic, never an empty drink.

   loved the food, loved the service, but omigod the noise level was unbelievable. the music was too loud which in turn led patrons to literally be screaming across each other. tables are set up very close to each other so it made for a not so pleasant experience.

   What a delightful little find! I just came back from Paris last week and was craving escargot...they had the best ones I've had in the city so far! Their espresso martinis were perfection and the West Coast oysters were scrumptious! They had a DJ who was on-point...perfect little Sunday Funday!

   In general it was bad. The food it was cold, and tasting burned. We have to send it back. They don’t even have us cutlery . They realice, when they brought already all the food we don’t even have napkins. It was completely disappointed. Definitely not coming back.

   I had the pleasure of having a business lunch at Bar La Rue in Chicago recently, and it was a memorable experience. My colleague and I decided to share a cheeseburger and a lobster roll with frites, accompanied by diet cokes. The ambiance of Bar La Rue is perfect for a business meeting, with a chic and comfortable atmosphere that allows for easy conversation. The service was attentive and prompt, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. As for the food, both the cheeseburger and lobster roll were exceptional. The cheeseburger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, with a delicious blend of toppings. The lobster roll was a standout, with tender, succulent lobster meat perfectly complemented by a light, buttery roll. The frites were crispy and seasoned just right, adding a delightful crunch to our meal. Overall, Bar La Rue exceeded our expectations, making it an ideal spot for a business lunch. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Chicago. In fact, I was so impressed that I plan to return soon with my wife to try their dinner menu.

   Brandon was a great server, but our food order took almost an hour to arrive at the table. Although the restaurant was very forgiving and the food and drinks themselves were great, if you go, just expect a wait! I recommended the Frenchie and Strawberry Spritz.

    Super cute concept in Fulton Market!! Felt like stepping out of Chicago. Food was mediocre in my opinion, but my friends really enjoyed the burger! Drinks did not seem strong as well.
