Le Colonial Chicago Reviews
Food was delicious service was great and atmosphere was
Food was delicious service was great and atmosphere was like you are in a whole different place not in the city.
Excellent food - I really wonder at any negative review
Excellent food - I really wonder at any negative review that didn't like the food! Green Curry Shrimp, Tuna Tartare, Sesame Beef Ravioli, and Bass. All were really good. Le Colonial is pricey but you know that coming in. Maybe the Bass is price
Old colonial vibe and decoration.
The service staff is generally good but not well trained. The food ingredients are fresh but not creative. A place to impress people who are not familiar with genuine Vietnamese cuisine
Had an awesome time at Le Colonial! Our bartender Frankie
Had an awesome time at Le Colonial! Our bartender Frankie was absolutely wonderful - so genuine and personable throughout our visit. He made excellent drinks and made sure we were taken care of. What really stood out was his food recommendations. T
I came here for an anniversary dinner having heard many
I came here for an anniversary dinner having heard many good things. Unfortunately very disappointing experience. I'll start with the food: For starters we ordered the monkfish and the chicken dumplings. Dumplings were good but nothing special (
Unbelievable ambiance and the perfect place to take a date.
Food is a little overpriced but still outstanding. I'll definitely be back.
For high-end Vietnamese, this is the place to be.
The lotus root salad stole the show, and the shaking beef was wonderfully tender. My only critiques were that the pho felt quite Americanized, and the side vegetables tasted like they were straight out of a typical Chinese restaurant kitchen.
Amazing food and ambiance.
Wonderful wine list. Very good choice for a first date. We sat by the window so you can look out on Oak Street. Our waiter was conversational and attentive. It's in the second floor and has valet parking. Expensive but worth it for a splurge.
This place was highly recommended by locals when I visited
This place was highly recommended by locals when I visited Chicago last week. It didn't disappoint! We sat in the bar area since we didn't have reservations, but received great service and had an opportunity for fun people watching. I
Asian Add Ons.
Had a delicious dinner at Les colonial this evening. Great service and delicious food as always. I gave the Restaurant this rating because when we received the bill, there was a charge of 3% added called Restaurant surcharge. No prior notice and no
Great vibe, great food.
We came for lunch and were seated in the terrace. It's French-Vietnamese and they nailed it with the atmosphere. We ordered: - Banh Uot (Sesame Beef Rolls) - Pho Bo (Hanoi Beef Noodle Soup) - Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef) - Cari Ga (Chicken Curry) -
Le Colonial is a fine dining Vietnamese French restaurant
Le Colonial is a fine dining Vietnamese French restaurant in Chicago's Gold Coast. Note there is a dress code to enter. While all the food is delicious with quality ingredients & service was excellent, not sure it's worth the $$. $100 f

I always enjoy dining here: it's such a beautiful space! On my most recent visit, I kicked off the night with a martini. My table enjoyed the Chao Tom, Sui Cao Chien, and Banh Cuon appetizers. For my entree, I chose the Cari Ga, which was incred
Great Vietnamese French fusion.
Everything I tried from the noodles to curry were delicious, drinks were great as well, you have to get the coconut pudding dessert!!!
Pretty restaurant.
Horrible service and food. Ordered the sea bass as a main course, fish literally came out RAW. I told waiter after I bit into it and chewed RAW fish and was disgusted. No recourse given except a new piece of fish which was then overcooked. Will never
A Perfect Lunch Date
Le Colonial gave us a spectacular lunch. The atmosphere, with its old-style charm, was beautiful, but the food and cocktails were the real stars. Every dish and drink was thoughtfully made, and we left feeling it was a truly amazing and special meal.
Le Colonial is located in an old building.
The restaurant has a great decor. I also ordered their special house cocktail which was smooth and had a great flavor profile. I also ordered the shaked beef which was like a warm beef salad with generous helpings of filet mignon. It was excellent.
Fine dinning at its best!
We had an excellent experience. The food was outstanding. Our service was top notch. Their Red Snapper for two was my favorite seafood order in at least the last ten years. I went back to the hotel a very happy man. On this occasion, as an out

Awesome place for lunch, great atmosphere, nice light and healthy food. Strongly recommend the Shaking Beef dish
Lunch with Mom & Aunt
A great lunch stop while downtown! We ordered multiple dishes & shared them all - and loved them! Everything was fresh, light & delicious!
As a Vietnamese person, this place isn't authentic.
It does advertise Viet-French so I understand the concept of colonization. The portions are small and over priced. We were on vacation and ordered take out, the online menu does not have pricing. We ordered a bowl of Pho Beef Hanoi Style and it only

A "Must Visit" destination, with a wonderful ambiance
We are regular visitors to Chicago to see family and have been fortunate to have visited and eaten in some great hotels and restaurants over what now is a 23 year period. For me, this was the best restaurant experience by far. The service was impecca
Lovely brunch
So many menu to choose from - they even have live pasta and burger station. The food are arranged so nicely and looked so sumptuous. The staff are also so nice and accommodating, especially Judith, Rania, and Safa. We will definetly be back again.

Went for lunch with family. Table overlooked Oak street on a beautiful day. Setting is gorgeous very different from usual Asian restaurants. Food was outstanding from appetizers to desserts to Vietnamese coffee. Will be back

Beautiful and delish!
Beautiful ambiance, great service and food. Appetizers are small so keep that in mind. Entrees can be shared by 2. Duck was our least favorite. Pho was great, scallop salad was great as was the gulf shrimp entree. If you wish to sit in the open air a
We got a recommendation from family to try this place out.
This is a French Vietnamese inspired restaurant. The place was very pretty. It was easy for us to find parking close by, maybe because it was a Saturday. We got short ribs and pho as appetizers. My boyfriend loved the short ribs because it was so ten

I really enjoyed the plants and the artwork. We started with the Cha Gio (crispy shrimp and pork roll) and the Banh Uot (Sesame Beef Ravioli). Both were pretty good, but not out of this world. The roll was pretty classic and the ravioli was definit

Lovely ambience, excellent service, delightful food.
Best Vietnamese/French inspired restaurant you will ever find.
Like Stepping Back into An Earlier Time
The decor is impressive and reflect images of a time when Vietnam was a French colony. The restaurant always is packed and because it is in high demand they inform you at check-in that you have the table for 2-hours which is plenty of time for drinks
Top Notch Dining in Chicago
Last night was our fourth visit to Le Colonial for dinner, and we were as pleased as the previous three times! The food, service, and decor are all top notch. It has quickly become our favorite restaurant not only in Chicago but in the entire Midwest
Beautiful and enticing
Beautiful atmosphere, professional and welcoming staff, perfect service and elegant beverages for before our meal. We were a table of four and ordered quite a lot to sample. Not a weak dish in the almost embarrassing parade of plates. From welcome to
Comme ci comme ça.
Great swanky dinner date spot. Americanized Vietnamese food that did not necessarily match the ambiance. Decor is superbe but I wasn’t sure how I felt about it considering it is emulating the time in which the French colonized Vietnam ? Cocktails w
Rudely asked to leave as soon as we paid our check!
My out of town coworkers live this restaurant so we eat at Le Colonial every time they're in town. Everything went according to our usual experience. No more than 5 minutes after I paid the bill, while I was ordering an Uber, the manager approached
Amazing food and Excellent Service ❤️

Highly recommend
We were pleasantly surprised by how much we loved this restaurant. The atmosphere and food were both excellent. We don’t eat at the same restaurants often in Chicago because there are so many to try - but this is one we would go back
I would give seven stars if I could.
I would give seven stars if I could. The service, food and atmosphere is superb. I have worked, stayed and dined in some of the best hotels, private clubs, venues and restaurants in the world. Le Colonial Chicago is amazing. I do not drink alcohol an
The food does not match the decor
The restaurant is really very beautiful, green plants, black/white photos of Vietnam, ceiling fans, beautiful tiling, perfect lighting. On the other hand it is rather noisy, especially avoid the tables facing the bar in a rather dark alcove or loses
It was such a horrible check in experience.
My friend and I had a 1:45PM reservation for 2 people. As I was waiting, multiple people without a reservation for 2 went in. Four people with 2 reservation for 2 people at 2PM went in before us. As I mentioned this to the host and the guy seems to b
Connect with users posting reservations for Le Colonial Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Le Colonial Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Le Colonial Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Le Colonial Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Le Colonial Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Le Colonial Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
