Great place for an evening on the patio , waitress
Great place for an evening on the patio , waitress recommended Sicilian wine. Neapolitan pizza is absolutely delicious. Anna thank you for the recommendations. The atmosphere, food and wine made our evening. We will definitely come back!

As always excellent food, the duck was great and the Coq au Vin was outstanding .....................

We had a great first experience here several months ago, but not sure what happened, and this second meal last week was horrible. It sucked. Felt like I was in a factory and they just wanted to get me out of there. Perfunctory service, no personality. I had the duck which was rubbery and dry. And my friend had the rabbit and it was overcooked. The creme brûlée also did not set and it was soupy. Table next to us had a terrible experience as well. They've been going for 15 years and I hear them say they won't be going back. Neither will we.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious food! Steak frites is always perfectly seasoned
Delicious food! Steak frites is always perfectly seasoned and cooked well. The broth for the mussels was well balanced and highly recommend the chocolate molten cake. The service is always so friendly and attentive. We met the sweetest UIC student.
Be the first to ReplyA gem.
The atmosphere was quiet and intimate. The service attentive but not overbearing. The food wonderful. Prices reasonable. We look forward to our next visit!

Great place! Love the small room, and small tables, very reminiscent of Paris. We got bread, butter, and this incredible spread to start. I forgot to ask the waiter what it was, but it was so good and tasted like balsamic and zest and fruit. We got the cheese plate, Coq au Vin and Steak au Poivre for dinner, and all three were delicious. Our sever was quick and very pleasant, and we got a scoop of vanilla ice cream as we were celebrating a birthday. It was no throwaway ice cream either, it was really good. Recommend!
Be the first to ReplyI can't say enough about how amazing this place is.
The hostess was very kind and knowledgeable. The Toulouse-Lautrec posters are a bit cheesy but why not? In Little Italy there's a respite of delicious French cuisine so make me feel like I'm in France damnit! I honestly have not stopped thinking about the duck a l'orange since I went this summer. It is heavenly. I feel like I had the experience that the food critic in "Ratatouille" had without having had that meal before. The portions are generous just like the service. Best meal I've ever had. Come to Chez Joel (they have roses on the tables).
Be the first to ReplyI enjoyed a great New Year's Eve dinner at Chez Joel Bistro.
The food was really good! And the service even better! My waiter was Omar. He was so sweet and funny. He made great recommendations and was attentive to our needs. We ordered the mussels which were 10/10. They were flavorful and you could taste the fresh ingredients. We also tried the escargot. It was okay. We got 2 steak options on the menu and they were flavorful. We ended the night with the cream puffs stuffed with vanilla gelato 8/10. The drinks were really good though! The ambiance felt authentic! Beautiful with a classic touch. They gave everyone NYE hats, beads & party favors, that was so fun and special! I will definitely be back to try more dishes (:
Be the first to ReplyFood was as great as I remembered from years ago.
Chocolate soufflé was heavenly and redeemed the dampened mood due to the cold service we received from the waitress. Not sure what was the issue but our waitress appeared slightly upset and inattentive 90% of the night. I might still go back but would def remember to avoid that lady.
Be the first to ReplyWent for a birthday dinner & were really looking forward to
Went for a birthday dinner & were really looking forward to it. The meal and service were top flight. The one odd exception was my husband's bistro burger - he asked for it medium well with no pink. It arrived with a pink center. They offered to put it back on the grill, but since there was already melted cheese in it, he asked for a new one, "no pink" & several of us repeated it for the server. The second burger came, pink in the center. At the point the rest of us were finished with our meal. It's obviously a good kitchen, so not getting a burger right - twice - seemed weird. Maybe it was the busy Saturday night. We'll be back for another try.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic meal with excellent service.
We've wanted to come here for a few years and it didn't disappoint!

Delicious food, prices are decent for what you get, good service. Kind of small but really nice
Be the first to ReplyService is good.
Ambience is elegant but not pretentious. But food is not good enough for the price points. There are much better places for much finer French food than Chez Joel which is a shame because it's almost a Chicago institution given its longevity.The food prep & presentation seems almost formulaic: sure looks pretty on the plate but not flavorful enough to rise above passable.I eat out to eat food better than I can make. I can make better food than Chez Joel just not as prettily presented.
Be the first to ReplyWe went for New Year's Eve and had a prefixe 3 course meal.
The food was all amazing and the service was fantastic! The chocolate cake was fluffy and moist, and the scallops with risotto were so flavorful. While waiting for our meal, we were also served bread with butter and a tapenade spread. Great place for a date night or upscale meal at a local restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyThe last time I went their food and service are very good.
This time their service is good but the food were way below the average. The lamb shank and duck were so dry, it seems they were cooked for days and just heat up when you place your order.
Be the first to ReplySecond time at this restaurant.
Not our waitress, a different woman was so rude, telling us we had to leave our table cuz we had a time limit, which it didn't even say when we made the reservation but she was saying this and we hadn't even gotten our dinners, we were waiting so long. And it wasn't just one time it was multiple times she came to bitch at us! Just us! No one else. And people were sitting longer than us, getting served their meals when we ordered and still sitting and drinking. It was for my birthday, we had multiple drinks and dessert. It was so off putting and embarrassing. We didn't complain or make remarks or nuthin until the 3rd time she came to us and we were like we haven't even been served our meal. And our server was so nice and apologized for this lady. We tipped her well but I would never go back cuz it was so icky.

You know when sometimes you don't remember what you exactly ordered, but leave happy and wanting to come back soon. That is Chez Joel. Service was great, too!

The salads were fresh and delicious! The sparking water was crisp. The service was good. I had the Coq au Vin Chicken and it was dry. When chicken is dry it means it was not made day of or it's been heated too many times. Not sure I would order chicken here again.
Be the first to ReplyThe food is good.
The service can be hit-and-miss, and the people can be mysterious there. I think it's more a French-Mediterranean food, and the Duck is delicious there.
Be the first to ReplyFood was good but under seasoned.
Service was top notch. I honestly don't remember what I ordered. So yeah.
