    What a great place for a birthday brunch! We lived everything we ordered and our waitress was very nice. My son asked if we can come back next time when we are in Chicago. :)

    Sat at the breakfast bar and service was quick and easy. Attentive servers and good food in general. My mimosa was sweet and potent as coffee was dark and strong. Great experience with breakfast and free parking to boot! Thank you.

    We went for brunch during restaurant week -- my food and drinks were wonderful - Bloody Mary, Quinoa Salad, Fruit side and Blondie. Plus bottomless mimosa. I tried a friend's potato sides - amazing! Friends also had the chicken sandwich and turkey burger - both looked fabulous.

    The sound in the space was absurdly loud, definitely need some more art or sound proofing on the walls. We were sitting in a booth and could hardly hear each other speak. The overhead lighting is also bright and fluorescent and deeply unappetizing. Hot drinks came out cold, avocado sandwich was 5% avocado, that staff was visibly stretched too thin!

    We tried the restaurant week menu. While we enjoyed it, we weren’t overly impressed. The place looked gorgeous, and the service was excellent!

    My first time visiting and I was quite impressed with the venue. Staff were very attentive, the space was clean and neat and the bathroom was very clean. Perfect for either a date or a family outing. I ordered a basic breakfast dish, the food was good. The house potatoes had a lot of garlic sauce on them, made it a little bit hard to finish, but the Latte was amazing. I would visit again!
