Love everything about Beaumont - the vibe, service, and food are all fantastic! So happy to have this gem in our neighborhood. Definitely try the wine list, mussels, and burgers, but save room for the truffle pudding cake. It’s to die for!

La Grande Boucherie was the perfect place to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. It felt like Paris in the heart of Chicago. The atmosphere was authentic, elegant, and romantic. The food was outstanding, and the service made the evening even more memorable. Our server, Kristy, was exceptional. She made us feel right at home, offered thoughtful menu recommendations, and was warm and attentive. A beautiful restaurant, a wonderful experience, and exactly the kind of evening we had hoped for. We‘ll definitely be back next time we are in Chicago.

The service was phenomenal. From our first entrance, to the server taking amazing pond view photos at the end of the night. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The whole staff really went above and beyond to make our birthday celebration special. The food was nothing less than outstanding. Each dish had complex flavors and amazing presentation. The wine pairing was a perfect addition as well. Highly recommend, especially for a quiet, cozy, romantic evening. It’s such a unique setting in the park, a space unlike any other fine dining in Chicago.

Absolutely 10/10 The owner, Tony, made us feel right at home, as if we were regulars. Stopped for happy hour first - great deal - and then enjoyed a dinner after. My girlfriend who doesn’t even like sweets, was blown away by the yuzu tart - sensational. Happy hour: - Oysters (2 dozen, 10/10) - Tuna Crudo (8/10) - Steak Frites (8/10 steak, 10/10 frites) - Sancerre (10/10, especially for happy hour of $12.5 per glass) Dinner: - Escargot (9/10) - Potato Dauphine w/ Caviar (9.5/10) - Steak Tartare (9.5/10) - Sancerre (still 9.5/10) - Pinot Noir (9.5/10) Dessert: - Yuzu Tart (10/10, spectacular) - Sauternes (9.5/10) Tony was kind enough to give us complimentary champagne “to go” to finish our night - truly a wonderful host. Will absolutely come back, the question is only when this week or next! Love, Carl & Julia

We had a fantastic experience. The service was beyond reproach. The cocktails were excellent. We shared a wonderful seasonal squash salad. I loved my pork chop entrée (Hubby's salmon was fine, but not spectacular). We each enjoyed a glass of wine which paired very well with our dinners. We finished with a fabulous shared dessert and dessert wines. While it was by no means an inexpensive dinner, it was two hours well spent. Matt is an excellent server!
