This is your sign to do a happy hour in the finance district with your bestie soon 🦪🍸✨😌 I stopped by @bandolchicago in the Loop this week and loved the drinks there! Their espresso martini isn’t included in the happy hour, but it was SO good! I’ll definitely be back for another one soon. They have really great happy hour drinks, so check out the reel for the menu! Thanks to @bandolchicago having me in! Make sure to check them out! . . . #chicago #happyhour #chicagoloop #happyhourtime #martini #martinitime #espressomartini #drinks #chicagodrinks #chicagofood #chicagogram #chicagofoodanddrink #chicagoinfluencer

First, this reservation was cancelled. The restaurant is now Mexican Radio and the cuisine is now hispanic. Opentable does not reflect these changes. Information needs to be updated. Will not go to this restaurant in the future.

Transitioning to Mexican cuisine so limited menu. But the salmon was excellent. Wait staff appeared new but did a decent job and the manager was very attentive and friendly

Bandol is adequate if you’re looking for a basic, no frills meal. While it touts a French leaning menu, it leaves a lot to be desired in the way of true French cuisine. Just because you put steak frites on the menu does not make you French. With so many other fantastic French restaurants in the city, Bandol is underwhelming in comparison.

We came in for breakfast and the food & coffee drinks were delicious. Great breakfast options. I would definitely go again for this. I docked a star because we had a reservation for 10 people (business meeting) that I had made 3 weeks prior, and confirmed the day before. They seemed surprised at our arrival and weren't entirely sure where to place us. We ended up being squished together at tiny tables in the cafe area, which wasn't ideal but we made it work.

The service was outstanding, polite, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. The turkey,Brie, fig jam sandwich was amazing. Bread that wasn’t quite so crusty would make it even better. Very convenient location. We will be back!

Phenomenal service. Breakfast was amazing. We had croque madame, cinnamon rolls, bacon and fruit. All was excellent. Our server was very polite and attentive. They offer both Pepsi and Coke products.

They didn’t honor the brunch menu we booked. The food was regular but the inside is very nice.
