Really enjoyed dinner there last night. The low point was our appetizers, mussel chowder and the endive and roquefort salad, both were ok, but nothing to rave about. The chowder tasted fine, but I wanted it to be something more...

Annieb, I haven’t tried Papillon in Skokie, but I bought a wonderful cheese named Papillon, sheep milk roquefort, from The Cheese Stands Alone the other day. (smile) I also picked up a piece of Mike G’s favorite 4-year...

Had dinner there on Friday. The music there on Fridays, by the way, is superb. The oysters appetizer is terrific (baked oysters on a bed of spinach, topped with walnuts and garlic). I had the rack of lamb: great sauce (enhanced...

Mango, lemon grass and roquefort fritter served with slivers of mock parakeet foie gras and Belgian mixed pulse sticks. Whole poached baby stoat encased in a filo cradle, layered with Chilean mountain nettles surrounded by a moat...

, although few for the offering: strong roqueforts, lovely thousand islands, marvelous russians, an egg-mayonnaise. Today, all I seem to find are watered-down ranches (in the Hidden Valley style) or the played-out rasberry...

that was awesome! we tried to get the quail, but they were out of lentils, so the waiter refused to bring it to us, with out the lentils! I am glad though, since the onion tartlet was rocking my world big time! and the steak with...

Here are a few of my favorites: Brie and Champagne Blue or Roquefort and and Spatlese or Auslese Riesling Chevre and Sancerre Stilton and Porto

a good, slightly sweet imperial stout and some rich blue cheese like a good roquefort or stilton. mmmmm. way better than port as a pairing, imho
