This was an excellent meal. We have eaten here a few times and had a good experience, but this was exceptional. Grayson was our waiter. He was patient, got our drinks out to us quickly, and helped with our gluten-free needs. It was a very good meal. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. It was pricey but was a great meal, so we were happy. We have been excited and impressed with this addition to Evanston's restaurant options.
LeTourResponded on May 22, 2024
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We LOVE what we do, and Grayson is a testament to our philosophy! We hope to have you back soon and we will be waiting with gluten free treats at the ready.

Minor issue as to timing of entree. Due to snafu between order and kitchen entree brought 45 minutes from order. GM and staff apologized and magnanimously comped the entrees which were very good. Situation handled well. All in all I will be back

While the ambiance , art and service is great, the food leaves something to be desired. The chicken tangine was very dry. In fact, it looked dry from the minute. They opened the pot and I should have sent it back but didn't The mussels had a funky taste. The salad was average and the carrots tasted more like potatoes

Came to celebrate a Mother’s Day dinner with my wife and 5 year old daughter. 1 hour and 45 minutes after sitting down, our entrees of 2 orders of mushroom kebabs were still nowhere to be seen, even through the waiter had checked in 30 mins earlier and told us 5-10. All the sides came out waaayyy in advance and we were done with them by this point. The worst part is that a table next to us with 8 people sat down a good 45-60 mins after us, and were done with their entrees before ours arrived - packaged to go - because waiting nearly 2 hours for your entree with a 5 year old is impossible. The restaurant ultimately did the right thing and comped the entrees to go. But even that was poorly done because we had told them at that point that we no longer wanted the orders as the familial frustration was overflowing. The waiter brought them packaged to go anyway and said he’d take one off the bill. We had said we no longer wanted them because of the ridiculous wait, but you still planned on charging me for one? The food is good here. And I get it’s busy on a holiday weekend. But this was a really, really poor showing. As my wife said…. Happy Mother’s Day!

Another solid meal. Good cocktails, good dishes. The morrocan eggplant appetizer is insanely good. The construction outside means the view isn’t great but that’s temporary and nothing they can do about that. Highly recommend.
LeTourResponded on May 16, 2024
Thank you so much for your kind words! We hear you on the construction we can't wait for the view to open up as the weather shifts more into summer. In the meantime so happy that you had yet ANOTHER solid meal. We LOVE what we do, and can't wait to have you back with our Moroccan eggplant appetizer in hand!

We went to LeTour for Mother's Day brunch. The food was delicious, the drinks were interesting variants of classic cocktails. As it was a pleasant day, we sat outside and had a delightful meal.
