Review of Le Bouchon of Chicago

I never review restaurants on Google, but this was truly one of the worst, most elitist restaurants I ve ever been to. My girlfriend and I went to enjoy some $1 oysters (their Thursday special) and instead of simply telling us that it s only acceptable to get them with a main dish, they passive aggressively stared at us while we ate. The manager made continued rude eye contact with me and the waitress pouring our water stayed close to us our whole meal, clearly ease dropping on our conversation. We felt pressured to buy an overpriced desert that was so small that it wouldn t satisfy a toddler s appetite.

In the end, I m just astounded that I couldn t take my girlfriend out for a special little evening without being passive aggressively ridiculed for being in my 20 s and not make a six figure salary.

Don t waste your time when there are so many better, friendlier restaurants in the city.
