We found shelter from a nasty Chicago rainstorm in this comfortable bistro. Located near the Water Tower on Pearson Street, Bistro 110 is decorated in dark wood, lots of windows and posters from the Art Institute of Chicago.
I ordered the endive salad with goat cheese with vinergerete dressing(good if you like endive). Another in or party raved about the mussels. Make sure to try their delicious bread which they will gladly replenish (especially good to soak up the juice from the mussel dish).
We arrived just after 5:00 and the bistro had a number of clients for dinner and seated at the small bar. Salads and soups cost $10-15. Entrees such as duck, steak or seafood ran $20-$40.
