Fodor's Review:

Tucked behind the mammoth Merchandise Mart, this stylish spot in an unsung locale warrants searching out for the considerable talents of its husband and wife chef-owners. He does the savories, she the sweets, which include stocking a café bakery case with to-go goodies and quick lunch bites. But come back for dinner when Aigre Doux (which means "sweet and sour") is at its best, serving deftly accented dishes like artichoke soup, slow-baked salmon with citrus, and maple-glazed duck. Attentive service, a selective wine list and modern decor including exposed light bulbs create a chameleon setting conducive, like the chefs' marriage, to both business and romance.
