I had a lunch and brunch at this cafe/bar on Michigan Ave not far from Millennium Park. The garlic sauce Caesar Salad with salmon was quite tasty but very light on everything except the huge amount of lettuce. May not suit a big person with a big appetite. I still enjoyed it and went back for buttermilk pancakes and hot chocolate the day before the marathon. Again quite tasty. Staff were pleasant. There is both indoor and outdoor seating
This place is a paradox. The food is great. The cocktails are phenomenal, and the staff is really pleasant, but they are SLOW!!! I have been there twice. The first time, it was really busy and there only seemed to be 1 server, so I assumed she was in the weeds and chalked it up understaffing which continues to be an issue in all industries. We returned a few days later and there were was almost no one in the restaurant. I figured this would be perfect. Had the same pleasant server with the same gorgeous smile. The same delicious cocktails and food. And it was still really slow. It has to be a training issue, because the staff is so nice and genuinely seems to want to provide good service. I don't think they need new servers, I think they need the train the servers they have better. When it comes to food and cocktails though ... don't change a thing.
This place was great! It has an awesome location. Right on Michigan avenue. It's the restaurant to the Hotel Julian. Our bartender Yoli was wonderful . We really enjoyed our time. Will definitely come back. We only had drinks but they also served food. they also have charge outlets at the bar!
