What People Are Saying About La Pomme Rouge

The Editor

Fred Schlatter

Citysearch

In Short – Rich hardwood reflects the autumnal palette of the draped, semi-private booths along one wall. More booths--these for dining--run the center of the space parallel to the main bar. A raised cocktail lounge houses carved wood furniture, a matching bar and a fireplace. A back room is den-like, dressed with jacquard fabric and pillows. An older, post-club crowd nibbles small plates alongside premium wines and spirits. –

Classy

by DavidBruce123

I like to check a place out a couple times before I review it. My reasoning is that before I offer my opinion, I want to be sure that my experience will be able to be replicated for those relying on it. In this case, I have been to La Pomme Rouge about three times now and feel comfortable with returning and attempting to bring the rest of Chicago with me.

The first thing you have to say about this place is it looks amazing. It is ornate with deep dark reds. Also, it has alot of tables so you can manage to find some place to sit. When you do sit down the staff it attentive. I mean when a place is busy you cant expect to have someone by your side at all times but I never had to really wait for another drink. The staff always offered me another drink when they noticed I was nearing an empty glass. Speaking of the staff. The girls who work there are gorgeous ... I mean they do possess many of the traits prized by the superficial man. If I wasnt so timid I might have takled to them and been able to comment beyond that. Speaking of the drinks ... there are plenty of martinis and mixed drinks to try. I however, stick to the wine and champagne which is great because they have lots of good options by the glass. If you are hungry, the food is also top notch. This is food you could expect from fine dining, not a bar. I had the crab cakes and cheese plate and would try both again.

I am not sure what the past reviewer meant when they said the place wasnt safe. I wasnt there and dont know what happened. That said, I have never felt unsafe. In fact, I know the owner cares about the place because he is usually on the floor working and takes the time to introduce himself. All in all, go to LPR, find yourself surrounded in posh settings, enjoying tasty libations, while being waited on by a friendly, attentive staff!!

  • Pros: Great food, good glass pours, amazing atmosphere

Unsafe night club

by kane21

I went out Saturday night 3/1/08 expecting to have a good time in a classy club. This obviously was not the place. This club has no security and I witnessed a woman get pounded in the face by a drunk man. Her face was bloody and she received no help from anyone in the club. The club was immediately shut down. I don't recommend this club for anyone. I would rate this no stars!!

Nice place

by auriellis

I think the biggest draw of this place is the design. I was there recently for a party and I was astounded by how beautiful the entire restaurant is. With beautiful paintings and secluded tables, it was a nice change from the usual restaurant. The food was fairly good and their deserts were just out of this world. However, don't expect to get your food any time soon. Between every order my group made, we'd have to wait like 20-30 minutes. Even if it was for a drink. I was disappointed by the slowness of the staff as the place got busier.

Overall, I was happy with the food and the atmosphere.

  • Pros: Great atmosphere, amazing food
  • Cons: Slow service, pricey for small portions

The Details on La Pomme Rouge

Know Before You Go:

Most Fridays are closed to the public for private events. Make sure you call in advance, or rustle up a member's invitation.

The Extras:

Management plans an ongoing series---loosely billed as La Pomme Prive---which intends to recreate the turn-of-the-century intellectual atmosphere surrounding social salons. Basically, artists and intellectual-types gather for cocktails.

Parking:

Valet is the best bet for this part of town, although there are lots north along Franklin.
