The Scene – Warm yellows, dark woods and brassy fixtures make for a cozy, neighborhood vibe, though not decidedly French. Enviously thick slabs of gold-and-black-flecked granite top a long walk-around bar, perpetually stacked by smartly dressed men and women. The dining area, nicely divided by pillars and half walls, creates privacy while keeping things open enough. When warm, nifty folding doors swing out to the street. – – The Food – Chef Roland Liccioni (Le Francais, Les Nomades) turns out French, but his dishes are perhaps more refined than brasserie food and…

Best Food and Atmosphere with perfect price

by said dini at Citysearch

The menu is simple and to the point. Les Hors D'oeuvres are great..I had the Chilled Asparagus,king crab, toasted black sesame seed, truffle oil and it tasted excellent. The presentation of the salad is superior. The Duo Of Roasted Lamb Rack And Ribeye is great. Overall, the price , atmosphere, service, and the food are all remarkable.

Great food, duck my favorite, can't pass up the souflle

by javid at Citysearch

Very Pleasent atmosphere, divided dinning rooms provide the privacy if that is what you want, Service staff pleasent and accomodating. Food presentation only matches the quality of what is being servred.

You can't afford not to stumble into a beautifull bar as you are coming in; and as you are leaving the resaurant an additional glass of brandy especially the nights when the music at the piano bar is entertaining the quests would provide for a memorable eveninig

  • Pros: I still pick the duck. And appetizers a must.
  • Cons: Delicious food late at night at the bar is seductive

The Extras:

Nan Mason--that mainstay of the local lounge music scene--sings on weekends by the bar. It's a throwback, but can be a little grating for guests still lingering over dinner.

Old Town Brasserie is the newest creation of veteran restaurateur Bob Djahanguiri. The restaurant The Chicago Tribune called "One of the best new restaurants of the year" is rapidly becoming one of Old Town's most popular dining spots.

At Old Town Brasserie, you'll find classic French brasserie fare with a bit of added elegance and some playful twists. Chef Andy Motto's eclectic flavors will delight and surprise you, but the reasonable prices will surprise you even more. The menu changes with the seasons, drawing on what's freshest and full of taste.

The intimate and comfortable dining room recalls a romantic Parisian brasserie, and when the weather warms we open the French doors for outdoor dining.

The full menu is available at the bar. After dinner, enjoy piano music with one of our signature martinis or a glass of wine.

We look forward to welcoming you.
