Founded by Dominique Legeai and Masato Suzuki of Lake Zurich's D & J Bistro, it's been in the hands of Legaei's daughter and son-in-law, Kendall College grads Lorraine and Christopher Barth, since 1997. Retro Bistro in Mount Prospect is recognized as one of Illinois’s best restaurants, and has won several local diners’ awards. Tucked away in a strip mall, this tiny bistro belies its locale with charming decor and sophisticated cuisine. The menu blends French bistro classics like escargot, steak au poivre and osso buco with more contemporary plates such as wasabi-crusted tuna, peppercorn-crusted pork loin and linguini with chicken, prosciutto and Boursin cheese
