Good food, good vibes, good people. We visited during our time in Chicago and had brunch there. Wasn’t crowded at all. Service was quick and the food was good. Would visit whenever we come back.

So happy we ate here today for our Christmas brunch! Quick service, helpful if you have a toddler. They had crayons and a cute city pic to color. All our dishes were excellent. I got the croissant sandwich with breakfast potatoes- potatoes were very very good!! My son got the pancake, I was expecting something small but it was a generous portion. My MIL had some granola/yogurt. All very very good, very nice staff, beautiful space.

Not crowded; reservations were not required. Food was not exceptional, the ambiance was bland. Don't order coffee...get Starbucks instead. Not a restaurant I would rush to return to. Not much of a "wow" factor.
