Tucked into an off-street courtyard attached to a shopping center, this promising French restaurant in Hyde Park is owned by two former University of Chicago students. There's room for about 64 patrons in the dining room, which has pristine off-white walls and thick floral carpeting. Tables are topped with white linen, chairs are sturdy and wide and the flatware is of high quality. Some effort and expense has gone into making the room quiet and comfortable.
