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
