About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Aboyer (ab-wah-yay), meaning, “to bark,” is a French-American brasserie as imagined by Chef Michael Lachowicz. An American-French restaurant pushing the boundaries of classic cuisine. Pulling from influences all over the world, Aboyer reconfigures classic dishes, but is still firmly planted in classic method and technique, never forgetting where we came from.

Reservations are recommended; walk-ins are welcome. Aboyer requires a credit card to secure all reservations. Please note that reservations cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled booking will incur a $25 per guest cancellation fee & no-shows will be billed at a rate of $50 per guest.

For private dining email events@georgetroisgroup.com

Aboyer is conveniently located across from the Indian Hill Metra.

    Were worried for a moment after seating, thinking that service may be slow on a busy night. It was not. Service was fantastic as well as the food. Thank you to Junior who really made our night with his attentiveness and smile. Made us feel at home. And the lamb porterhouse with ramps puree, morels, and wild rise was really impressive. Great job.

    The chimmi churry carrots were tasteless! Why bother offering such tasteless side dishes. No acidity or freshneshness. It was a gooey mess even lacking in carrot flavor. A big miss! Otherwise the meal was marvelous.

    This was our third visit in the last 18 months and it was just as good as always. There was a prix fixe menu for Mother's Day (although a la carte ordering was still available). My wife had the truffle pea soup and I had the smoked salmon as starters. We both had lamb for the main course. My wife's chocolate souffle for dessert is a sure-fire winner. I ordered the limoncello meringue which might not be everyone's top choice, but was perfect for me. All five dishes were excellent. We will return for special occasions again.

    We had the best meal that we have ever had there. We have been going for twenty years. Pes soup was fabulous and so were snails. Soft shell crabs were outstanding. Dessert was nothing special. They could improve those.

    The food is excellent every time I go to this bistro. Today was Mother’s Day and we had soft shell crab which was so succulent, escargot that melted in your mouth. The butter prawns were divine. The crème brûlée and chocolate soufflé were do die for. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Food was great as usual. It was Mother Day brunch, and I don't know what was going on, but the service was poor. There were many times when we had to call waitstaff over, things were not brought as asked or we had to remind them. One of our guests got up and left and returned with some protein as he got tired of waiting. The service was not what I have come to expect at Aboyer.
