Just a good restaurant. Overpriced for the food you get. Had a 3 course meal, nothing was impressive. Good quality but nothing better than a regular Chicago Steak house for double the price

My girlfriend and I have been trying to do a better job of exploring West Loop restaurants the last couple months. We thoroughly enjoyed all of these restaurants we've recently tried (Komo, Proxi, Hide+Seek, Fora) but La Serre was the best experience out of all of them. The food was phenomenal, service was excellent, and had an energy to it without being 'loud'. Highly recommend

Great food (I want to specifically call out how great the octopus is) and a great environment (especially for a casual quiet dinner catching up with old friends). This was my second time having Brian as a server, and his recommendations on new (since my last visit) food items and cocktails was great. Brian remembered me and made some suggestions based on my prior visit as well. Stellar service and I hope I get Brian as a server again in the future.
