After so many years, this place still has panache. The location, just off North Michigan Avenue, makes it a convenient lunch or dinner stop for shoppers, but plenty of people have been coming to this destination for dates, celebrations and family suppers for years. As a loud, busy brasserie, it continues to present an impressive array of classic French and near-French dishes at fair prices. We particularly enjoy the rosemary and thyme-flecked roasted chicken. Cassoulet is definitely worth considering, as are the mussels, their flavor punched up by a classic sauce of shallots, Chablis and butter. (Frites are great for sopping it up.) And the salade niçoise? It features more than its share of grilled tuna. Fish dishes in general are well crafted. For dessert, the crème brûlée is tops. The intimate space set aside for alfresco dining in season also is quite nice.
