Wonderful menu, pleasant surroundings, a real find in the theater/ opera district

I had the pleasure of having a business lunch at Bar La Rue in Chicago recently, and it was a memorable experience. My colleague and I decided to share a cheeseburger and a lobster roll with frites, accompanied by diet cokes. The ambiance of Bar La Rue is perfect for a business meeting, with a chic and comfortable atmosphere that allows for easy conversation. The service was attentive and prompt, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. As for the food, both the cheeseburger and lobster roll were exceptional. The cheeseburger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, with a delicious blend of toppings. The lobster roll was a standout, with tender, succulent lobster meat perfectly complemented by a light, buttery roll. The frites were crispy and seasoned just right, adding a delightful crunch to our meal. Overall, Bar La Rue exceeded our expectations, making it an ideal spot for a business lunch. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Chicago. In fact, I was so impressed that I plan to return soon with my wife to try their dinner menu.

Excellent staff, food and ambience for a wonderful evening
