    Amazing! Gotta try the duck wings. I’ve not had one bad item from their menu and the service from the front door to the bar was impeccable. 10/10 highly recommend. Perfect for a good meal, views, and chill environment.

    Bar La Rue delivers an exceptional dining experience with its beautiful ambiance, perfectly complementing the delicious menu offerings. The escargot, steamed mussels, and steak frites were all executed to perfection, showcasing the kitchen’s expertise. The cocktails are another standout, with the Bonne Vivant stealing the spotlight among the thoughtfully crafted selections. Brandon’s service elevated the evening further, as he was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring every need was met seamlessly.

    I've eaten here before and it was just as good. Service was excellent, drinks were very tasty, and the brunch options are good. The steak & eggs with the bearnaise sauce were DELICIOUS! It's a "girlie" type place, since its very flowery, but there are also a lot of tv's on with football and plenty of men in there to enjoy the game and the food. I'd highly recommend.

    This was my first time experiencing Bar La Rue and I had a fantastic time! Julian, our server, was fantastic and all of his recommendations were a success. My friend and I both ordered the steak frites and shared sauces which were delectable. Our cocktails were super yummy as well; atmosphere was nice, lively, and gave you a true Parisian vibe. I would definitely go back!

    Delicious brunch and charming interior design. Food was very tasty - we had the ham & cheese galette, lobster omelet, Caesar salad and fries and they surprised us with a little brûléed french toast for a birthday dessert. Server was lovely and attentive. Manager also stopped by at end of meal to make sure we enjoyed our food and experience. Would definitely go back for brunch and to try dinner. Prices are in line with other west loop spots. Parking can be difficult so plan ahead. Food was a tiny bit slow coming out but not excessively.
