Letour - Evanston

Lovely room, lovely staff, table appointments lovely as well. Wanted to be wowed and since we were aware that the restaurant was new we expected some things might not be perfect yet. Waiter was pleasant and explained everything we asked. We were disappointed that we could not enjoy our glass of wine over an appetizer and then make our order for dinner but we followed their protocol and ordered everything at once. What happened is what we thought would, the appetizers came literally right out and were quickly followed by our entrees. I mentioned to our waiter that we felt rushed and she slowed the rest of our evening down. We appreciated that but it is literally the reason I hate to immediately order the whole meal at once. Prefer to enjoy the appetizer and that first glass of wine and then move on to the dinner from there with a second glass of wine. I have to say the Caesar had zero taste as it was underdressed. I like a Caesar that isn't drenched in dressing but this was too little for my tastes. We enjoyed did the unique sauce the Mussels had but if you don't like spicy they aren't for you. I love spicy so that was great! The Skate was enjoyable as was the Onion Tarte appetizer. The star of the evening was the Apple Cake which was even better than the description. It was enough for 2. I had ordered a scoop of vanilla ice cream which was strangely hollow, more like a loop of ice cream. Despite things being good or ok, at this price point something seemed missing from our total experience. I will go back again in 6 months or so and try it again.

The tables were a little too close together for my liking, but over all a good experience. The cocktail menu does not feel up to the level of the dining menu.

Everything was delicious. the vibe. tagine was very tasty brot and desserts spectacular. wonderful service. go back. can order something else.

The food and ambiente was excellent! the gin and the tonic were the best g and t I have ever tried. homemade tonic!

We were so disappointed. We really didn’t love our food or the selections. They were out of almost every kind of shellfish and the remaining dinner options and sides weren’t great. We had been looking forward to this meal so it was upsetting. The timing of the food was good but it took a while to order and everything in between took a while like ordering dessert after the meal had ended. We liked their other restaurants so it was especially upsetting.
