Love their brunch menu 😆 It is definitely the best in Streeterville and think one of the best in the city, and their bloody Mary's are great!
Theresa WalunasFebruary 6, 2013The nicest place to stop for coffee in Streeterville. Their special lattes are well flavored and not oversweetened. And they take Level Up!
Aishwarya SharmaFebruary 18, 2013Food is delicious. Enjoyed my portobellos mushroom & dandelion eggplant. Flatbreads are great too! Wish the portions were little bigger.
Used to be a neighborhood hidden gem, but it's getting popular now. Been here for mostly brunch and dinner once, mostly satisfactory experience.
You must have the Brussels sprouts. I can't explain it, but they taste like a mouthful of Christmas. Even if you think you hate the sprout, try these, you will be a convert.
Phil BernardiSeptember 15, 2012the Lamb Sausage is very good, just like the portions. enjoyed having French Fries with my Scrambled Eggs too.
Kirstjen LorenzOctober 4, 2014Biscuits & gravy with poached eggs = heaven! Lovely eggs - perfectly cooked.
Jules CarneiroJune 28, 2013Staff is very friendly, good tunes on the background..... A nice vibe all around!
I eat here quite frequently. Am disappointed by their brunch menu as it is severely limiting for a person with an egg allergy and the kitchen/waitress have expressed zero flexibility. :( #disappointed
Sara MacMarch 16, 2013Incredibly slow service... How come people that arrived much later than us got their food before us? We ordered eggs....... And a croissant. Didn't know it could take so long. Won't be returning.
