Bar Parisette

Fantastic Bistro serving great american food with a parisian flare. Service was impeccable. We started on the happy hour menu, touring the oysters and olives, and then meandered over to the regular menu. I had the mussels and my wife had the halibut. Delectable.Lighting is low and intimate; wine list is top notch.

We dined at Bar Parisette tonight. Service was excellent. The round leather booths are elegant and comfortable. Ask for one when you make your reservation. Chef Madalyn Durrant ran food to tables, which was nice because it provided the opportunity to compliment her on our favorite dishes. We ordered everything on the menu, except the chicken liver, the tartare, the lamb, and the burger. While everything was good and competently executed, the best items, which are truly exceptional, are:1) Carrot Salad (honey, coriander, honey, Moroccan olive)2) Sunchokes and wax bean salad with pollen 3) Halibut en Papillote with root vegetables 4) Roasted Chicken with carrot caramel 5) Soft Serve Ice Cream (salted vanilla/blueberry lavender twist) I liked the spaciousness of the restaurant, and there are some beautiful and fun design elements, like whimsical wallpaper, sparkly gold epoxy floors in the washroom, beautiful light fixtures, and those beautiful round leather booths. Many of the wines are a bargain, including $8 glasses that were uncommon and memorable. Matt Sussman made our evening extra special by sharing his wine knowledge. 2829 W Armitage Ave, Chicago

The food was amazing! Started with the steak tartare and liver mousse. For the main dish, had the steak frites. For dessert, a delicious lemon tart. I highly recommend all of these dishes. The server was polite and efficient, and the ambience was very pleasant.This restaurant is well worth a visit!

Absolutely delicious food. Great ambience and service, loved our drinks. The macaron dessert is so incredible. The chicken liver mousse was fantastic, we loved the pappardelle, as we were walking out the door we were talking about coming back again. We had 1 snack sized plate, 3 small/medium plates, 1 large plate, 2 desserts and 2 drinks overall for our table and left paying under $200 which we found extremely reasonable. Really happy this place has opened up in this spot.

Swung by for a second trip to Bar Parisette and felt compelled to share our fabulous experience. The staff was so lovely and warmly accommodated our idiosyncratic ordering (black and blue steak for typically incompatible steak orderers, mini soft serve taster portions so we could sample more of the dessert offerings). Everything tasted fabulous, executing traditional French favorites alongside modern novelties like fried maitakes and luscious tomato tartines. The wine list was exquisite, we got four glasses to try more than the usual bottle we split, and were delighted by every permutation from Loire to Willamette. I know these guys got slammed by some recent raves by the Hungry Hound and elsewhere, but we were lavished with superb service, and charmed by the quaint atmosphere which feels both inviting and sexy. This place is moving into our regular rotation, 10/10.

We had an incredible meal, navigated by our lovely server Ciera. Get there early for HH menu, started off with $2 oysters and a glass of cava. From there we snagged the whitefish rillettes and sunflowers to start (sunflower was an unexpected surprise fav - fresh, crunchy and a bit hearty). We finished with the Halibut which has such great curry style flavors basking in the parchment pocket it came in and the Agnolotti. Both dishes paired perfectly together. Last but not least we ended with a soft serve twirl. Would love to come back ASAP and try more items like the tomatoe farci and obviously the frittes!

I came here with a friend for happy hour on a Monday. When I walked in it was 5pm and there were only a few people in there. The happy hour goes all night on Mondays. Within 30 minutes it was packed and a good vibe. Ordered the Rosé it was delicious but was not the normal pink color so we had to ask if it was the right drink - should have been something that is stated since it wasn't the typical color. Also ordered the smoked olives and burger and I would come back just for this! It was so good! It took a little longer than expected to come out. Then when we were finishing up our server seemed to forget about us. Overall I would go again for happy hour, food was great.

Best happy hour I have ever been to. The Shake Frites is an absolutely brilliant concept and dish - Wendy's shake and fries brought to the next level 1000x. Tomato tartine so goodDog friendly patio!!!!!The servers and sommelier were amazing and really warm, making great suggestions and I had the best martini I've had in daysSuch a cool and relaxed vibe, really nice everything that feels elevated but totally chill, will be back all the time!

I love everything about Bar Parisette. The decor and ambiance make for a lovely experience. In the short time they have been open, I have dined twice. Madalyn's food is thoughtful and delicious. I love the halibut! Service is also excellent. I look forward to turning more friends on to this new Chicago gem.

Incredible food & warm, friendly service! We had the chicken pate ~ one of the best I've had, the burger, a salad and the steak frites. All were delicious and we will certainly be back
