Michelin Guide 2012: Chicago - Recommendation
Home Bistro
American
Home Bistro (HB for those in the know) is a chipper American bistro fixed up with orange faux-finished walls cradling framed mirrors, artwork, and painted quotes. In keeping with this ideal, the staff is particularly hospitable and kind. The tight-knit team is proud of their bistro, and loyal fans keep returning to this delicious den where everybody knows your name – as well as the names of the servers and kitchen staff, all printed on the menu.
Here, comfort foods may have Euro flair but translate into All-American dishes like white anchovies atop a mound of arugula with creamy Yukon Golds; handmade fettuccine ribbons woven around deliciously seasoned duck sausage and parmesan sprinkles; and a piping hot fruit bread pudding tickled with whipped cream.

Lakeview locals “keep coming back” to Joncarl Lachman’s “small” New American BYO for its “good vibe” and “excellent fine dining” featuring “glorious” “seasonal” “combinations in every dish” served by an “accommodating”, “enthusiastic” staff; it’s so “affordable” that surveyors say “for the price, we ripped them off”; P.S. “make reservations as the few tables fill up fast.” - Zagats June, 2010
