"This restaurant may not be as innovative as others in Chicago. Their menu is pretty classic. They still manage to surprise, and they have nearly flawless execution. Its pricey, but it is worth every penny. If you're tired of eating foam and just want a tasty meal with a little pomp - in a romantic setting - this is the place. They won't disappoint."

"We are never disappointed with Les Nomades. Over the years, we have tried other places for a special occasion but have come away thinking that we should have gone here instead. Service is personal but not intrusive. The food is wonderful and beautifully presented.
We started with Foie Gras and salmon prepared three ways, both delicious. We followed this with Peekytoe crab and avocado salad and, for our main course, Dover Sole. The desert course was a chocolate tart and Grand Marnier souffle.
All in all, it was a wonderfully seductive meal that leaves you satisfied but not too full.
Thank you, Les Nomades!"

"Old-school French restaurant with a new-school menu. Decor, service, and overall "feel" frozen in time -- this is a GOOD thing. All are top notch. A fine, relaxing evening. Superb wines. But let's talk about the food. Very modern and creative 4-course or 5-course (your choice) dinner. Smoked salmon "three ways" was a killer starter, and duck consommé as a second course was fantastic. A lamb and veal combo of grilled chops was the perfect entree, and the green apple tart dessert a fab finish.

My companion mixed things up after the salmon with shrimp-and-lobster salad, venison, and a soufflé ... gave all A++.

$300 for 2 complete with fine French wines (by the glass), tax, tip -- this is a bargain.

On my top 10 list."

"We came here for our 6th wedding anniversary. Our waiter was very pleasant and had a good sense of humor. The decor of the place is very old school and you feel sort of like you're at the library and someone might shush you. The food was delicious. A couple sitting next to us (they were from omaha) asked us if we'd come back. Answer: no. Fun to try for a very expensive dinner, food good....but too many restaurants in the Chicago area to try to substantiate coming back here. Places w/a more enjoyable, less restrained atmosphere."

"A special place for a special occasion. The two types of foie gras that my wife and I started our meals with were terrific. The waiter suggested a nice saturn by the glass that was great with the foie gras. I then had the shrimp and lobster salad and she had the crab salad. Both were terrific but mine was better. This reataurant has a great selection of half bottles of wine. I'm not sure why other restaurants don't. We ordered a nice half bottle of a white burgundy to accompany this portion of the meal. We moved on to the main course- sweetbreads and beef for me and duck for her---again, both terrific but this time her's was better. We had a nice half bottle of burgundy. The service was impeccable and the waiter was charming. Couldn't have"

"I've eaten all over the world, and this was one of my very favorite meals ever.
This is the second time I've gone there (from San Diego- worth the flight!), and it was actually as good as I remembered!
The foie gras is the best in the world. Seriously.
Everything was divine, and once again, will be one of those "life's moments" never to be forgotten.
This is my favorite restaurant on the continent."

"A wonderful civilized experience every time. We had four courses including dessert and the dishes were all spectacular. The focus on consistently high ingredients and preparation is evident. We plan to return at least once a month for a reminder as to what great food and service should be elsewhere. Service is gracious and formal, but never aloof nor snobby. The experience is similar to Masa's or The Ritz Dining Room in San Francisco, some of our other favorites."

"What a great experience!
The wine list is outstanding, in particular, I was impressed by the excellent selection of half bottles, which is perfect when only two are dining.
The food was very nice, and they were able to accomodate special dietary needs.
Service was crisp, pleasant and perfect for a high end restaurant.
Thoroughly enjoyed it."

"I generally come to Chicago 2-3 times a year for meetings. I have always wanted to eat at Les Nomades but this was my first opportunity. I was not disappointed. Everything was just perfect. The hospitality was extraordinary and the food and service were top notch. Overall I would say that I was more impressed than I even thought I would be. I would definitely recommend this restaurant."

"My only quibble is that the staff did not allow quite enough time to pass before they brought out the next course. I told my lady friend that this "was American," but maybe it was because we had made an 8:30 p.m. reservation (on a Tuesday night, March 19th) and the staff wished not to keep open for too long. I would say that a total of five minutes elapsed between our plates from a course being removed and the next course arriving. About a total of 10 to 12 minutes would have been better. When the third (main) course arrived, my friend just stared at it, disappointed that it (and the prior course) had appeared so quickly. This was otherwise a superb, lovely restaurant. I wouldn't be taking time to write all this out if I didn'tloveit."

"Went here during a business conference. Food and service were excellent. Prompt but not intrusive. Waiter described each dish as it was served, a nice reminder for those that cannot remember the entire description on the menu. Portions were reasonably sized. I had calamari served grilled and fried, a nice combo for the contrast. Then a warm lobster and shrimp salad that was excellent. Then I had a Dover sole, about a 6oz portion of fish. beurre blanc sauce was excellent, fish was extremely tender. Finished with a Gand Marnier soufflé, which was in all honesty, the best soufflé I have ever had! I almost ordered another. The wine list is extensive, heavily biased towards French wines, and a bit overpriced, as expected."

"It was our first experience at a fine dining French cuisine in Chicago. We did feel a little out of place as the restaurant was composed of business men & older couples in their 30's + (we're approaching our mid-20's). We embraced it & carried on to enjoy ourselves for the 2.5 hrs. Don't forget to bring a dinner jacket, but if you do, they'll have one for you. The service is the premium we paid for, outstanding. We had 4 courses & wine. The food was perfect proportions leaving us satisfied at the right amount of full, yet not feeling it at all. The only critic I have is that my sea bass was over seared on the skin portion by a touch, making it not as easy to fork & part, 'fall off the bone' so to speak, as the rest of the sea bass."

"Great food, great ambiance, but it would have been nice if the waiter would have asked "Have you ever been here before? No? Well let me explain our menu to you." Instead we got a menu with no prices and no explanation, and were too embarrassed to ask how it works. I think its Prix Fixe. We're not from Chicago, so maybe Chicagoans are more familiar with the French way of doing things."

"My husband and I came to Chicago to celebrate our daughter's 13th birthday with a 4 day stay at the Waldorf and special events. We went to Les Nomades as a special dinner. We each had the 5 course Prix Fixe dinner and they graciously did wine pairings for my husband and I. Although their normal clientele may not include 13 year olds, you would never have known. The food was fabulous, the service top notch, and everyone from the bus boys to the Sommelier had a "Happy Birthday" for Lexi and made her feel so special. Can't say enough how impressed we were. My husband and I are already checking our schedules to see when the two of us can make it back to Chicago and Les Nomades is at the top of our list!"

"I'll start with the positives. The service was great. It's a perfect combination of attentiveness with out being over bearing, knowledgeable about the food and wine list without being snobby. The food however, did not wow me. It was good. But it was not great as I've expected it to be. We had the 4 course tasting menu. I did love the main lobster and escargots. However, my dover sole was lacking in flavor. The pieces of fish were very small and thin, and seemed to be over cooked. My husband had the duck and said the confit leg was great, but the roasted breast was too fatty and a little disappointing. He wished he got two legs instead. Luckily the deserts were really good as a nice ending to the meal. We had a souffle and a creme brulee"
