This was my first visit to Brasserie Jo. I've eaten at several restaurants managed by Lettuce Entertain You and rarely been disappointed. This particular restaurant was quite good. Entree choices (and prices) spanned the spectrum. It's a great place when dining with people with various cravings. Orders from our table included chicken paillard, sweetbreads, and a substantial salad featuring smoked... more

Food is very good. Service is excellent. I had moules et frites. The mussels were big and juicy, but the fries were a little disappointing---not bad--but not great. My son had the hanger steak avec frites. The steak was tasty. Nice biere and wine selection, too. We ate outside on the sidewalk, which was quite pleasant. The inside restaurant had... more

Brasserie Jo is one of those hidden gems that are not on the "hottest restaurant in town list," and yet delivers great food, service and atmosphere. In fact, I've never seen it on any of the standard lists of restaurants that one finds in hotel rooms or in magazine lists! We discovered it when a friend who knows Chicago well... more

At least once a year we spend a couple of days in Chicago, and each time we eat at least one dinner at Brasserie Jo. The ambiance is phenomenal! They DO take reservations, and keep to that schedule. The menu includes French cuisine, but one may have a fancy meal or a simple meal depending on one's budget. One of... more

Everything was wonderful from service to atmosphere to food. The restaurant was busy but quiet; service was attentive, but unobtrusive; the food for 3 of us was delicious! more

This is one of my favorites for casual french in Chicago. Excellent food, great wine list and a nice beer menu. You can't go wrong with an evening at one of their outdoor tables. more

We find this to be the best restaurant in Chicago, great value for money. Once a year we're in town for a trade show and I would go to Brasserie Jo every night if I could. The dishes are true French fare and prepared with the freshest ingredients. The bread is fabulous. It has a true brasserie atmosphere and we've... more
