    It was fine nothing special. Service professional but perfunctory. Our whole snapper tasted like it may have come out of the Chicago River. We asked and our server said it was probably due to the fish sauce in the glaze. Hmmm. Maybe.

    Our server Ashley was first rate. She guided us through the menu and was spot on with all of her recommendations. We did all small plates and love the chicken dumplings, beef ravioli, and the shrimp & pork crispy rolls. Delicious!

    Le Colonial delivers a polished take on Vietnamese cuisine in an elegant setting. The beef pho stands out with its rich, clear broth, though it leans toward a more refined interpretation. The green curry is flavorful with just the right amount of heat, and the flat noodles dish is satisfying without being overly heavy.

    We dine here as often as possible. We first enjoyed their Vietnamese cuisine at the old location on Rush Street. The secret is to savor the delicacy of the Indochine flavors. Service is of the highest caliber. Reservations are necessary. Make one soon.
