Rustic charm and reliable, reasonably priced bistro classics lure the faithful to this River North mainstay.

In Short
Warm and rustic, with wood-plank floors and rosy-hued drapes, tablecloths and banquettes, Kiki's draws a mature, urban crowd for traditional, homey French fare. Favorites include classic steak au poivre with frites and coq au vin, a soulful stew of tender chicken, potatoes, carrots and mushrooms in smoky wine sauce. Liver lovers should pay a visit at lunch for sweet-savory sauteed calf's liver with caramelized onions. For dessert, apple tart and poached pear on pastry are worth the calories, as is the ethereal chocolate mousse.
