Bijan's Bistro

I've been here over 20 times And every time it gets better and better

I don't know how I've managed to not write a review about Bijan's yet.  I love this place.  They of course get mad props for being a late night joint, but add to that the great people that work there and the awesome food served??  I've been coming here for probably close to 7 years on and off, but in the past year increasingly more and more.  I think I went here 3 times last week.  No shame.  I work at a hotel, and my friends and I need a place to unwind that isn't a night club or packed sports bar when we get out of work at sometimes 2am.  This place gets busy some nights, but I'm always happy to wait by the bar.  The service is quick.  Kelly, Andrea and the blonde bartender (sorry I can't remember your name)--two thumbs up!  Even Ralph (Ralf?) is great.  I laughed at the reviews below saying he's mean and whatnot.  I've never had a problem with him, and the fact that he's there pretty much every freakin' night... I don't know how he does it!  I love the escargot.  MMM!

The brie was so good. I would fly in to Chicago to just taste it again!
