The former Miss Black Illinois Queens decided to have our brunch at Dawn. And a beautiful dawn it was! The food was superb! Met our expectations of southern flavors and creole style dishes. The service was excellent. The owner came to the table to welcome us. The ascetics is stylish with a comfortable cafe feel. Definitely will recommend to others.

With each visit the service continues to improve. Some inconsistency with certain foods(over seasoned). Noise level can be high at times also. Overall, it's one of my go too's in the neighborhood hood. I would recommend for solid for brunch, comfort food (fried chicken and catfish), not crazy about the Mac and Cheese. The GRITS at on point!
