Fodor's Expert Review Bistro 110

The knock against Bistro 110 is that it can be noisy and chaotic, but we consider that a testament to its popularity. Besides the lively bar scene and Water Tower views, the real draw is the food from the wood-burning oven. The kitchen consistently offers excellent renditions of French classics like wood-roasted chicken, and vegetarians praise the roasted-vegetable platter. The Sunday jazz brunch makes things more crowded—and louder—than usual.
