What People Are Saying About Bistro 110

Shoppers stumble upon this chic bistro on their way to the Mag Mile or Water Tower Place, which makes for a nice stopping point from maxing out the credit cards. The setting is just divine, befitting the elegance of the Gold Coast; floral murals grace the walls, while a patio opens to a wide sidewalk and the beautiful skyline. Stylish French cuisine hits the classics, like a crisp Nicoise Salade with crispy haricots verts, garlicky mussels, Duck L'Orange and Steak Au Poivre. A New Orleans jazz ensemble on Sundays compels visitors to drop by for brunch.

Very rude, unPolite host, Not recomended
by DdavidSsmith at Citysearch
I had a bad experience with the host. I found them very rude. I'd like to relax in a warm welcoming place when I go out to eat. But they were not really polite there. You will be disappointed if you think it is a classy, high-end restaurant. I wouldn't recommend it. There are other greater restaurants in that area where you would be welcomed and respected.
- Pros: Expert to make you uncomfortable
- Cons: You feel bad, why you chose this restaurant

Make your own judgement!!

I am from Quebec, Canada and we (boyfriend and i) went to bistro 110 for my first trip in chicago. We found this bistro cause my boyfriend comes from France and french foods are their speciality. We comes in and the waiter tells us there is a 30 minutes delay, so we seat at the bar and order drinks. They ask for ID so we show them driver license and health care card (both with pictures on it). They ask us to leave if we do not have our passeport cause it is the law and they do not accept anything else??? We ask them to show the written paper that proves it is a Us law to have passeport... They weren't able to find it written and they asked us to leave or they call the cops!!
Canadian doesn't mean I am from mars! And we changed for the restaurant I saw in jerome2's message, and all I can say is thanks Jerome for this wonderul suggestion!!
- Pros: Worst manners ever seen!!
- Cons: Not able to put any stars on this

Extremely rude service
by jerome2 at Citysearch
Went there with my family on a Sunday night and we ordered drinks while waiting for our table. My brother got asked for a picture ID. He's 28 and lives in Canada, so he showed his driver's license (with picture) and another picture ID from Canada. The bartender refused to serve him unless my brother showed his passport, saying that a driver's license was not enough, and that a passport was required by law (???) We asked for the manager. Manager said it wasn't required by law but it was the restaurant's policy to ask for a passport if someone doesn't have an American driver's license. We tried to explain that a passport wasn't even required to cross the border from Canada (a driver's license is good enough), but to no avail. So we ended up going to another French bistro 5 mins away (on N State St.) with a much nicer atmosphere, great food, no attitude, cheaper price, and better wine selection. We'll never be back to Bistro 110.
- Pros: The location
- Cons: The attitude
