Taureaux Tavern

“Great location, great service, great menu.”

Great location, great service, great menu. Even better happy hour deals (available Monday to Friday from 3-5 PM). I had the Peach Cobbler Cocktail, French Onion soup, and 1/2 order of Nachos. Everything was delicious and quality. I came in for some quick appetizers in between jobs, I will definitely return for a real dinner soon!

“Great restaurant, nice ambiance, friendly staff, tasty food.”

Great restaurant, nice ambiance, friendly staff, tasty food! What more can someone ask for! The prices were similar to San Francisco, maybe a bit pricey for Chicago standards, but certainly worth it!

“First time here today and it was delicious.”

First time here today and it was delicious. I had the heart of the night which was a perfect blend of spicy margarita with a little kick but not over the top and the nachos did not disappoint. Environment was enjoyable and the beautiful architecture and styling inside created a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

“PHENOMENAL everything.”

PHENOMENAL everything! My husband and I were on our way to Navy Pier, walking through Chicago to celebrate our one year marriage anniversary. Found out our usual place to eat was closed, so we wandered around! We found this place and decided to try it! Best decision ever! We had the prime steak frites! The meat was delicious, the fries were seasoned perfectly, and the sauce complimented everything! Our server was wonderful! He was very polite, funny, and pleasant all around! The staff was also wonderful! The gentleman that refills water made sure that we never refilled our own glasses! He always took our plates away, almost immediately once we finished! We will absolutely be coming back next year to celebrate!

“I had the Lobster bites and it was delicious.”

I had the Lobster bites and it was delicious. My co-worker had the Caesar Salad and said it was a “real” Caesar salad with anchovies and said it was really good. We would definitely eat there again.

Went for an early dinner when it was slower. Great attentive service! Steaks were cooked just right, the garlic aoili with the fries was so good, dessert cookie skillet was a classic. Highly recommend going at an off-peak time to enjoy the ambiance

“I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant in the city.”

I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant in the city. After a planned day at the museums, my friends and I had to find an open restaurant during the week. This was one of the few we found, and definitely a great choice. The decor was very modern. Staff were all pleasant with phenomenal service. We always had drinks available, and we were not rushed at all. I had the chicken tortilla soup and their Cesar salad (with added shrimp). The soup was a nice take and tasted amazing, and the salad was fresh and crisp with great croutons! Our night ended with a skillet cookie, which again was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommend if you are in the city

“Really great food, great ambiance and a convenient location right by the Board of Trade.”

Really great food, great ambiance and a convenient location right by the Board of Trade. I attended a private event, so we had a broad menu of small plates. Taureaux is known for their French fries, which were absolutely delicious. These should be an entree! The burger was also fantastic as was the Caesar salad. Wait staff was warm, friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere and decor. Highly recommend - will be back soon!

“Pre-COVID, our team would come here often for lunch/happy hour.”

Pre-COVID, our team would come here often for lunch/happy hour. Everything I've tried has been amazing and the service is always great. My go-to was the Whitefish Salad. Came here for the first time post-COVID hoping to get that salad only to find out their menu changed so I got the Mixed Greens salad with Salmon instead and it was wonderful. Nice assortment of textures and flavors. The pickled fennel and watermelon worked so well together. Salmon was def the right protein to add.
