- KKatChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLe Colonial is a must-do every time I come home to Chicago. The food prep and presentation are outstanding as is the gracious service. The room is relaxing even when every table is filled. I have been dining at Le Colonial since its original location on Rush Street and have never been disappointed. I wish there was a location in Blue Ridge, GA. Highly recommended.More infoLe Colonial - Chicago$$$$• Vietnamese• Gold Coast / Streeterville•4.8

Delicious martini and lobster roll, and the bread, cheese and fig jam was the perfect starter!

Inside was very loud but our request to sit outside was immediately granted, and it was quiet and lovely out there. Food was great, service was cordial and efficient.
