My girlfriend and I have been trying to do a better job of exploring West Loop restaurants the last couple months. We thoroughly enjoyed all of these restaurants we've recently tried (Komo, Proxi, Hide+Seek, Fora) but La Serre was the best experience out of all of them. The food was phenomenal, service was excellent, and had an energy to it without being 'loud'. Highly recommend
