We invite you to Chicago's favorite brasserie, cafe and oyster bar - set at the very heart of all that the city has to offer.

You'll find all the iconic French cuisine - steak frites, whole roasted duck, oysters flown in from the coast daily - but also encounter unique flavors, get to know our take on escargot, and rethink your idea of classic French onion soup.
