"Bacon-wrapped, gruyere-stuffed quail is sensational, served with a bit of housemade pork sausage and firm haricots verts; a mixed grill of tuna and Hawaiian monchong with rice and saffron cream is pure buttery bliss. Socher treats bistro classics with similar reverence, turning out perfectly textured skate wing with mashed Jerusalem artichokes, and a first-rate blanquette de veau, the poached veal's mild flavor abetted by Calvados cream sauce and a slice of bread dumpling that's an homage to the chef's Berwyn roots." -- Phil Vettel, Chicago Tribune, Jan 2007.
