Maijean: User Reviews

What a great bistro!

My wife and I took my brother out to dinner at Maijean. We each had cocktails, wine, three courses and dessert. My brother who dines at fine restaurants across the country said that his Halibut was the best meal that he'd had in a restaurant in years. I too am no stranger to good food and really enjoyed my meal, as did my wife. In a suburban land of chain restaurnants and average food, Maiijean is in a class with only the likes of Vie in Western Springs to sooth a forlorn palate.

6 of us celebrated my husband's birthday on a snowy,icy night and everything was wonderful from the minute we got out of the car and were met by a valet who escorted us around the sleet and snow with a cheery greeting. It only got better once we got inside. This new venue truly has made a committment to service. Fromt the greeter to the busboys to the bar tender Artie, they are all about making your dining experience relaxed, yet special. Each of our entrees were expertly prepared, served nice and hot after good suggections from our polished, yet funny waiter. On a night when the weather was beastly, the ambience, complete with fire in the fireplace, could not have been more inviting. Even though the place was full and busy, we never felt rushed nor did the noise level prohibit good conversation. This place just has great energy all around addn we're really glad to have it in our neighborhood. ps, the duck was fabulous! Kudost o chef Nadia, all 6 of us loved our entrees!

Could Not Ask For Better!

Now that I have eaten there 3 times I can honestly say it is one of the best restaurants I have eaten at in the Chicago area. The selections are classic in nature with a creative touch that does not take away from the basic dish, but enhances it. The "specials" are truly Special. The service is professional and attentive without being pretentious. The wine list is fairly extensive and well priced. The restaurant is cozy, but a bit noisy when it's full. The unique Art Nouveau decor is well done and adds to the whole experience. I know I will be a regular.

I came expecting an outstanding dinner. The food, service and atmosphere were average. Vie is still the best in the Western Suburbs.

This is a GREAT find and flawless! The food and service are outstanding! The mussels for an appetizer were divine...! Went for a birthday dinner..and loved everything about it...we will go back and recommend...! (Hoping the smoking at the bar, is a thing of the past...b/c the smoke came into the dining area, to offend) The Chef was a delight!

An unflawed, perfect gem of a restaurant. Food is OUTSTANDING. Service, charming and friendly with great suggestions from the menu. Food is sublime. Sweetbreads unforgettable; pork and sweet potato custard to die for; duck breast another winner. Poached peach dessert delightful and light as a feather. We will be regulars and hope to be able to get a table when the world finds out about this wonderful place.

Beware of 4 star review. After eating at Maijeans there is no comparison to the quality of food and service that is available to enjoy at Vie, Courtwright's or Lan!!! Au contrar. Maijean is loud, the food is so-so and the service is poor.
