Great food, excellent service.
Food and service excellent, menu selection makes you want to order one of everything. Our server was very well informed.
Be the first to ReplyA great Monday lunch at Obelix
We've had dinner here several times and always loved it but this was our first visit for lunch. We shared some lovely east coast oysters and then both ordered from the prix fixe menu. The potato and leek soup was lovely, really lovely, as was the beet salad. My wife had the chicken roti and thoroughly enjoyed it, I had the quiche and it was fantastic, the best quiche I ever ate. We both had cheese for desert and all in all we thought the prix fixe meal was a bargain for $42. We dined on Monday and on Monday's it half off any champagne or sparkling wine, so we splurged and got a bottle of Billicart Salmon. The wait staff at Obelix is top notch, great service and very knowledgable but approachable. We had lunch here after seeing the Picasso show at the Art Institute and all in all, this was a wonderful way to spend a Monday.

Super nice staff, very good food. Turbot, gougeres, mac & cheese, gem salad all good. The carrot dish is one of the best things I've ever had, anywhere. 4% "staff retention" charge is obnoxious; tired of paying restaurants' workers for them. Nice lighting. It's a bit cramped, chairs could be more comfortable.

Fine dining with innovative executions of french classics. Lively, casual atmosphere. The focus is on the food. Well chosen list of wines, also by the glass.
Be the first to ReplySplurge, worth every dollar
This was a birthday dinner for my husband during our visit to Chicago which we selected based on a list of new hot restaurants. It was a great choice. The food was fabulous. The service was very attentive. The menu is a bit confusing, but our waitress was very helpful in helping us understand the offerings. Do be aware that some of the selections are two bites, so ask your server to guide you. The French onion soup was some of the best I’ve ever had, as was the scrumptious pate! Our entrées did not disappoint: The ratatouille was a surprise in its presentation and was a savory and hearty option. My husband enjoyed pork which he raved about. What French bistro meal would be complete without dessert? You won’t be disappointed! We opted for a selection of two bite desserts which were creative and the perfect end for our already satisfied appetite. The tables are closely packed, so do not expect social distancing in this environment. But go! You will be delighted with your decision.
Be the first to ReplyOnly brunch worth mentioning
I don’t know where to start. My first experience with this restaurant was for mere digestifs & dessert which was excellent to say the least as it was Sauternes & foie gras macarons. Now onto brunch where the place is honestly a monopoly in regards to brunch. I’ve been on several occasions & honestly each & every time my mind has been blown. The “crepe homard” is the best crepe dish I’ve ever tasted & ask the staff for a spoon because the “blanc” sauce shouldn’t go to waste. The “foie gras monte cristo” was decadent to say the least. Not to be outdone but I have to mention that the pistachio croissant is mind blowingly delicious & please trust the staff or bartender with pairings. A wine they suggested with the pistachio crossaint mimicked a rich jam this making it an elevated “pb&j”. Since my past visit I’m ready to crown Obelix the reason for discovering one of the greatest digestifs also. Get here quick. I’ve never had a bad dish, now pairing suggestion.

My husband and I live in Chicago and eat out often. He had read rave reviews of this place, so we went for our anniversary. We didn’t order oysters, or fois Gras. So the appetizers are limited. I had tempura battered squash blossom, which was delicious until it was combined with the very spicy harissa, poblano aioli. Crazy combination. We shared the whole Dover sole, a special of the day. We both understood that it came with sautéed broccoli rabe as a side, but no. It was only mediocre fish with a mildly lemon sauce.I can cook fish as well as this. The wine was good, the service satisfactory, but in all, a mediocre expensive meal.

Our First time at Obelix and great overall. We shared 3 appetizers, 1 main course and a desert. All of the food was well prepared, flavorful and distinctive. The service was fantastic and could not have been better. The only negative is the 4% staff retention fee which I am not a fan of. Increase the prices if need be instead. Will be back.

Our visit on a weeknight found the relatively small, attractive space jammed with diners and the bar area was likewise crowded. Although we had a reservation we had to wait nearly 1/2 hour to be seated. Mostly standing at the bar area during our wait, we ordered cocktails. There were two overworked bartenders who were making drinks for seated diners and the packed bar area. As a result the cocktails were well proportioned but not mixed sufficiently. Our shared appetizer, escargot, was delicious as were everyone's entrees. Our server, Lauren, was terrific. The weak area of the operation is the bread/dessert offerings, The French bread is overly soft and mushy. Desserts were overly sweet and seemed poor quality. On our next visit we will finish with their ice cream offerings. The restaurant adds a 4% "staff retention" charge to the bills.

The décor is very much like a French bistro/brasserie with very few space between the table and large full bar. From the entrance you can see the open kitchen. Despite the kitsch giant wooden rooster at the entrance, the cuisine is modern. Service was efficient. A short menu that is a sign of quality. Great appetizers to share. Very French with a few exceptions. You need to leave room for desert.
Be the first to ReplyThe best "pate en croute"
One of the reason I went there is that Obelix is the only restaurant (I think) which has "pate en croute" on the menu. It is one of my favorite dish when in Lyon, France. It was delicious and a good reason to go back for brunch. We also ate the escargot roll and the "strawberry/rhubarb en brioche". Both very good. The waiter (also the bartender) was very efficient. The only drawback is the level of noise. it was difficult to have a conversation,
