Le Colonial Lake Forest Reviews from The Last Year
We went to celebrate a wedding anniversary.
Charming restaurant. Unfortunately, the service was TERRIBLE. Even after bringing it to the attention of the management, nothing changed. Was very disappointed. This too, happened to someone I know who dined there the same evening.
My daughter took me here for father's Day and i have to say
My daughter took me here for father's Day and i have to say i was surprise by the amazing service we received. Joshlyn was our server and her service and attention was fabulous. The food was very delicious, we tried about six different things and loved them all. The mussels we got half of them did not open so they brought us a whole new order. The place is very well decorated I specially liked the white table cloth. I'm looking forward to next time!
We had an amazing meal.
Every single bite was filled with flavors. We had appetizers, salad, drinks and main courses. The desserts were as a work of art! The service was perfect.
This place is super pretty and fancy.
It has a dress code that must followed. Clientele are very snobby and there is a huge show of wealth at this restaurant. The food is good. The atmosphere is great. The people who are here and make it unpleasant to go back.
We just happened to be visiting the Lake Forest Market
We just happened to be visiting the Lake Forest Market Square and were smitten with this charming restaurant upon first sight. The bustling and beautiful outdoor patio called to us, and with Vietnamese food being some of my favorite cuisine, their front door plaque advertising French-Vietnamese fusion was equally alluring. We were a party of 8, with no reservations, so it was a kindness and a blessing they were able to seat us indoors, which was also beautifully decorated. The menu featured a multitude of enticing dishes that are a bit different from the usual Vietnamese restaurant offerings. I was very excited to give something new a try. The people sharing my table had varying preferences and familiarity with Vietnamese food, so we tried to get dishes that would appeal to everyone. We sampled the chilled vegetable roll, the sesame beef ravioli, pork and noodle dish, crispy brussel sprouts, grilled eggplant, and perhaps something else I am forgetting. My husband wanted a bowl of their pho bo, so I tried that as well. Table guests also ordered the two mocktails, Saigon Mint Colada and Le Diable. Both of those were good, but I'd say Le Diable was a little better. All in all, the food was sort of forgettable. Nothing really stood out as exceptional, and especially for the price. The meat in the sesame beef ravioli was especially a letdown, and the dish was overall sort of bland. When I think Vietnamese food, I am expecting a certain intensity of flavor, which nothing we tried really delivered. I have had authentic French food, and authentic Vietnamese food, both of which I preferred much more to anything I had here. Maybe we just ordered all of the wrong stuff, but still, too many things for none of them to be a hit. If I had to pick, my husband's pho bo was probably among the best of what was at the table. In summary, you are definitely visiting (and paying) for the atmosphere when you visit Le Colonial. I will also commend the service, which was gracious, kind, and hospitable to us. The food was fine, and inoffensive, but it won't be drawing me back.
I never give 5 stars, unless they also have a Michelin star.
But for a restaurant in suburban Chicago, you can not get better. The outstanding aspect of this place is the service. Prompt, courteous, yet understated; that is, they attended to my every need, but were discreet and not obtrusive. Food is excellent and interesting. Certainly not something you'd find elsewhere. Vietnamese-centric, many new and interesting flavors. Pricy, but you don't get what you don't pay for. I will be back. Addendum: the short ribs are the best I have had.

I dined here over the weekend and had the best food and service ever! from the moment we walked in the place was packed and the vibe was amazing. I was celebrating my birthday and our lovely server Hugo made my night so amazing. All his recommendations were on point! Very attentive young man and just a great experience overall! The pho is delicious and full of flavor. The dumplings and ceviche were also delicious. The snapper was fried to perfection, we shared family style, definetley coming back.
This used to be a decent restaurant.
I used to come here often. But now, their dishes are nothing more than mediocre. For those prices definitely not worth it. I ordered shrimp stir fry, which was basically 4-5 shrimps and all onions for $32. Service was not good either. The waiter spilled most of my wife's cocktail on the way, and brought half full of the cocktail glass to the table. I am pretty sure I will not come back here voluntarily for dining.
The restaurant is gorgeous inside & out.
They have a beautiful patio & lovely bars. The food was amazing from drinks to dessert. Will was our main server & he was very polite & helpful in answering our questions regarding the menu. All the servers are top notch & helpful. They work as a team. My husband & I can't wait to go back.
Le Colonial dishes romance and sultry vibes along with
Le Colonial dishes romance and sultry vibes along with refined French-Vietnamese fusion. Seriously luxurious ambience, replete with dark wood paneling, rattan furniture, and colonial upholstery. Well-appointed bar with a nice cocktail program and a good wine selection. The food is consistently well-prepared, with big flavors and nice portions. Service is classic white coat and was very kind.
I love Le Colonial usually, and often choose this
I love Le Colonial usually, and often choose this restaurant for special occasions in my life. So when I went with my family to Le Colonial for my birthday, I expected an enjoyable evening. The food was excellent as always, but the service was not--and ruined the night. When we first walked in our entire party wasn't there yet. The host told us that he wouldn't seat us until the party was complete (not a big deal) but added he would cancel the reservation if they were 15 minutes late. Why say this, when they were not yet late? I told him it was my birthday celebration and his response was to tell us to go to the bar and not stand around. This set a negative tone to the beginning of the evening. We first ordered drinks, as the server recommended doing this before ordering our appetizers. The wine came out within 10 minutes--but the cocktails were more like 20-30 minutes--and the server had not come back to take our appetizer (smaller plates) orders. For some reason, when we asked to have enough soup for 7 people, he gave us three bowls and said we should share the bowls and spoons. With the main course, the fried rice shared plate and the jasmine rice meant to eat with the other plates came a full 20 minutes after the rest of our entrees (which we had already finished). We had reminded the server about the missing food--he gave us a blank look, and never came back to follow up or tell us they were on their way. After our meal, the server started throwing down plates for dessert on top of a messy table from sharing various dishes. When I asked him to clean it first, he gave me a dirty look, wiped it partially with a cloth, and asked sarcastically if that was enough (no, it wasn't clean). The restaurant added an automatic 20% gratuity because it was a group of more than 6 people. An added gratuity for a large group is standard, but I have never seen it as high as 20%. When you are spending $1K on dinner, this is a huge insult. What a disappointing evening. I am not sure if this a personnel issue, training issue, or management issue, but if your service does not match your food it's not worth going.
Sunday night dinner was Le Colonial and it's typically
Sunday night dinner was Le Colonial and it's typically always booked for dinner, but they have a bar lounge where it's first come first serve and we practically had the room to ourselves throughout dinner. On a gloomy, foggy day a bowl of Pho sounded so yummy, and I was right, it was yummy. The presentation of the spring rolls was very cute, but I do wish there was more than just one shrimp in each roll, but I get food costs are rising. The lychee dessert is such the perfect balance of tart and sweet.
My husband and I love Le Colonial.
We have been quite a few times and have never been disappointed. The staff is phenomenal and very knowledgeable and the food is delicious. The tables are a little tight in the main dining room, but we don't mind. It makes it feel more city-like (even though it's in Lake Forest)! The bar is also absolutely gorgeous.
Mediocre at best.
Service was poor but expected. Food was average. It really was not as "French" as I would have liked.
Great food and presentation Ordered the cold appetizers
Great food and presentation Ordered the cold appetizers tuna tartare beet salad Egg rolls all delicious Hot small plates beef and chicken rolls were great too ordered a large soup which when asked for small bowls so 2 of us could share said the chef doesn't give out the small bowls so one cannot share That made no sense Our server was wonderful and agreed it made no sense .4 star

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue? |
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
