The Critics

"Bouillabaisse "Jean Claude" is just excellent, the broth (enhanced with a savory rouille) brimming with mussels, meaty chunks of lobster, everything at its textural best..."
-Phil Vettel, Chicago Tribune

"The moules, or mussels, were steamed with white wine and herbs, the pinky flesh succulent and lush with flavor. While sopping up the juices with crusty French bread, the famous song by Fred Astaire went through my head: "Heaven, I'm in heaven."
-Pat Bruno, Chicago Sun-Times
