West Loop​のベストフュージョン料理レストラン

Simply put a restaurant that cares! I made a special trip and went opening night due to following Matt on social media for a few years. From a distance he has always been personable, helpful, and fostered community. I’ve obtained all his products from cookbooks, kitchenware, seasonings, cooking classes, etc. The one thing that I haven’t tried yet was his actual cooking so I went to give it a shot. What I got was far more than I bargained for. Fraiche is bigger than the chef. The restaurant is ran by community. The hostess was welcoming, my waitress was very personable, what surprised me the most is I was CONSTANTLY checked on by multiple members of the wait staff and not in a negative or annoying way. You do NOT feel ignored! Many places can provide good food, not many places provide elite service, let alone in a new restaurant. The synchronous culture they’ve curated out the gate is to be applauded. Moving to the food… BRUH! I am as picky as it gets when it comes to food and there hasn’t been one place I’ve been where I’ve liked everything I’ve had. That streak ended yesterday! EVERY SINGLE DISH WAS A HIT! NO EXAGGERATION! I ordered: Chicken wings - seasoned and fried to perfection. Crispy, hot, juicy, flavorful. I had them dry and you can add buffalo or mumbo sauce and it adds another element. The chicken as a stand alone is a star, the sauce is a bonus. Honey butter cornbread- this was the one dish I thought wasn’t going to like because the first bite didn’t resonate with me. It had delayed flavor lol. Oh buddy it when it hits, it’s comes THROUGH! It is made with real corn and has a semi firm/spongy texture that absorbs the honey butter into its nooks and crannies and that’s where the flavor resides! That cornbread is made with love! Mac and Cheese - this was my 1/2 of my litmus test. Mac n Cheese can either make or break a dining experience for me. I don’t like overly creamy/saucy Mac n cheese… I need grandma’s thanksgiving style where the noodles ar

First time here and, while the overall experience was positive and we'd return, there were a couple of disappointments. The good stuff is that we really liked the ambience/decor/vibe and our waiter (Bobby) was excellent. We enjoyed our lumpia appetizer, but didn't love our entrees. I've never included a bathroom in my review but will this time because it was disgusting. There are 5 private unisex bathrooms and we can confirm that at least 2 were dirty and gross. It's a nice restaurant with not inexpensive prices so having some attention on cleanliness would be good.

Elle' was AMAZING! She was very friendly, caring, and attentative. I enjoyed speaking with the general manager as well, he was very compassionate about embbrasing the community...this could be a Summer hot spot. It's very nice to have a place walking distance from home that's delicious with vegan, vegetarian, seafood and meat options. There something for everyone! Fun night!

We had a lovely dinner, but upstairs was very loud. The combo of crowd voices and loud music made it hard to have a conversation. Drinks were great and fries very tasty. Really enjoyed the Brussell sprouts! Service was good and server very friendly, but felt like she was really in the weeds and therefore unable to pay as much attention to us as she would have liked. But others stepped in to help when she was unable to, so your team was working well together.

The place was amazing. Everything we had was so delicious. We say, go if you have the chance.
