Edgewater Beach Cafe - Chicago

This is a refined dining experience. The atmosphere is calm and reserved. Table linens, full silverware settings and Riedel wine glasses are the standard here. Their menu leans towards French cuisine. Butter, cream and love were found in every dish we tried. The service was wonderful. I recommend this place for a calm, adult dinner out.

I had an amazing Thanksgiving Day dinner at the Edgewater Beach Cafe. I like the intricate details, and alarming location. The host who is the owner was a great man. He is direct. The other man who is the waiter is excellent with customer service. I dine great at the Edgewater Beach Cafe. The price is reasonable too.

It just stupfies me why this restaurant is not the most crowded place in Edgewater. The Edgewater Beach Cafe is the absolute best in the neighborhood! Tried every other restaurant and there's no comparison! From the escargot to the shrimp with burgundy sauce to the raspberry chicken, it's all delicious. It's essentially a French restaurant minus the cost and pretentious attitude. The owner is Vietnamese and his wife trained in Paris is the chef. Couldn't ask for more!

I called to ask a simple question and I get berated on the phone. Yes it was a call back about a different 20 second question. As I had called moments earlier and had the idea to get takeout after I was told they do not do delivery, which I was completely fine with. I was expecting to spend upwards of a $100 at the establishment and I get an attitude and the person telling me not to call back because I asked why they were acting that way when a paying customer wants to know their options. Does the place not want the business? Maybe so many people like their food that some of them just dont care how they treat people. I and my girlfriend had a great time there in the past but this is the first time in decades of ordering food someone has yelled at me and had such a terrible attitude. The customer is definitely not always right but you cant treat people like you're doing them a favor and that their questions don't matter. Even if you have a bad day you can be kind. Fyi I called today at 5:16pm.

Great food. Small but great atmosphere and really friendly.
