La Petite Folie, Chicago, Illinois, French Restaurant Details

Food:

One of the "best choices" for "fine dining" in Hyde Park, this "charming" bistro offers "always great" "classic" French dishes and wines in a "quiet" white-tablecloth dining room; service gets strong marks too, so even if tabs are a touch high, locals agree it's a "real gem."

Food:

Underwhelming and uncreative. This used to be the only option for fine dining in Hyde park, but at this point there are several alternatives.

Food:

Very nice lunch, nice French cuisine (and I know a lot about it!). The decor could be a little bit modernized but eating with real silverware (in real silver) is an experience.

Food:

Great french restaurant in Hyde Park. Perfect location in a cute courtyard, good atmosphere, and excellent food. The menu is always changing according to seasonal produce, so it's always fresh and different. Great date restaurant if you're looking to impress!

Food:

Perfect small intimate place waiters were very knowledgeable of the menu. The food was awesome!!!! Me and my girlfriend loved every minute

Food:

The service and atmosphere were absolutely top notch. All of the food was great, save for my duck-it was incredibly chewy. My appetizer and dessert were perfect, and the vegetables that came with the duck were also excellent. I'm willing to come back again.

That said, it seems overhyped. I don't think it would be reviewed quite so well if there were other fine dining options in Hyde Park.
