Bistro 110: User Reviews

What!?!?
By Nomar from Lakeview, June 14, 2008

Overall rating:

Personally i like this place a lot, esspecially since they have Foie Gras back on the menu. I was there the other night and the Duck Ravioli was awasome!

Some of these reviews really make me laugh! Complaints about no vegetarian options? Why would you go to a French Bistro and expect vegetarian options? That's like going to a sushi place and saying " I'll have a Pizza.. What do you mean you don't have Pizza? it's 2008!" The base of most French Bistro fare is butter, cream and some sort of animal parts cooked deliciously.

You want vegetarian check out the Green Zebra.

You definitly pay for the location here, but they put out some very nice Bistro fare. I stick with whatever's on special and some of the classics, Onion Soup, Artichoke and the Brulee.

The only real negative i can think of is that the outside needs a face lift.

Fabulous food, service leaves much to be desired
By Gen from streeterville, May 17, 2008

Overall rating:

The food was absolutely fabulous. We had the chicken crepes and the ravioli. The service, however, was mediocre. We waited almost 10 minutes to get our waiter's attention so he could bring us some bread. We went on a Saturday afternoon and were seated within five minutes, which is surprising given the location. Overall a great restaurant. I will go back despite the service because the food was superb.

Jazz Brunch
By ChicagoFan from eau claire, February 18, 2008

Overall rating:

We had brunch at the Bistro this Sunday and it was marvellous. The service was superb and food delicious. I am a very experienced Cajun and Creole cook and thouroughly approved of the fare. The gumbo was preparred with a lighter roux as befits a brunch/lunch menu, the crab cakes delicately seasoned and accompanied with refreshingly tart tomato sauce that offset the richness of the crab and hollandaise sauce. The apple tart (tatin) as good as anything I have had in Paris. My brunch companions and I highly recommend this restaurant and will return! The Prix Fixe menu was also very good value.

Beyond Bad experience!
By pinkym from Lakeview, January 5, 2008

Total disappointment!!I had high expectations for a Jazz brunch. I was even entertaining a guest from out of town. The service was beyond poor. Our server had no recommendations for us and was extremely short with us as well. Our server was so rude that our guest left the restaurant infuriated and even addressed his behavior with the management. I have had better processed microwavable food than the food which was served to us.The only good thing I can say about the place is that they were efficiently able to accommodate such large influxes of tourists.

Tourist Trap
By Will from Roscoe Village, November 28, 2007

Overall rating:

talk about a place resting on it's laurels...food is marginal, service fine but not worthy of $150 meal for 2. Wine list is sub par for expensive French Bistro. Avoid the throngs from burbs and go to NOMI for real dining experience.

We Drive Four Hours Just to Eat Here
By Marlene and Michael from Okemos, Michigan, October 25, 2007

Overall rating:

Bistro 110 is, without a doubt, our favorite restaurant, and we drive four hours about three times a year just to eat here, sometimes for lunch but usually for dinner. We have found the food to be outstanding. No place has a quich quite like it, or Beef Wellington that can be cut with a fork! Unlike other restaurants that boast "wood roasted vegetables", the vegetables here truly are wood roasted. The service has always been wonderful. The servers are attendant without being overly so, and on their busiest evenings don't make you feel rushed. The decor is pleasant without being overbearing The value is excellentI I'm a bit surprised by the negative comments as we have never had a unpleasant expeience or food that wasn't just perfect. This restaurant truly deserves a five star rating!

I am So Dissapointed with Bistro 110. I went one time it was alright the second time I went it got worse. If you want a Better meal then stay home and Pop in a Tv Dinner in the Microwave and save your Hard Earned money for another Restaurant like Ruth's Chris Steakhouse or Gibson's Steakhouse.

Even my two extremely picky children said the food was amazing. I suggest you try the chocolate cake. I have simply never tasted anything like it.
