I tried Creme Brasserie for Winterlicious dinner this year and I must say I am a fan. The restaurant is hidden off in a courtyard and is not visible along Yorkville St. As soon as I entered the place, the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. The vibe was very laid back and unpretentious. All the staff were very friendly and genuine which made the experience much more pleasant. They made sure that we were welcomed and not rushed throughout the entire dinner. Big props to the friendly service!
As for the food, my friend and I tried different dishes for all three courses. I got the pork belly appetizer, the striped bass main, and the chocolate pot of creme. All three were delicious. I even got to try my friend's dishes and she got the mussels (the sauce was very tasty), the steak, and the raspberry semi freddo.
I would go back to try their regular menu due to the delicious food and excellent friendly service! Great cozy and welcoming place in Yorkville!
