Why go
Dylan Patel's relocated French bistro in River North trades the original Randolph intimacy for a larger, walk-in-friendly format. The cooking remains shareable and Mediterranean-leaning — grilled meats, wood-fired vegetables, natural wines — but the room is quieter and booking is reliably easy. Strong value for groups and repeat visitors who prioritize consistency over scene.
