Barely any service. There's no ac. They didn't even come to refill our water. There was a fruit fly in my drink

the food was great however our service was terrible. Our server hardly came to our table, we continuously had to flag her down to ask for the most basic things (dropped cold brew and we wanted cream and she just ran off before we could ask for it). The food took forever to the point where one of the members of my party had to leave before it came and when I asked for it to go, both of our food entrees were put in to go boxes instead of just his. Appetizer was dropped with no side plates. Creamer was brought in a dirty carafe. Honestly, just a terrible experience all around.

As a member of Soho House, I have to say we had a terrible breakfast. They seated us at a long table when there was a round table available where we could sit. They then offered it to a family later (we also had a reservation). It took them half an hour to order our breakfast and a long time to serve it. It was a total disaster; some tables arrived later but were served much sooner. It was disappointing. As a Soho House family, we are very disappointed. The quality is very poor.

The food was fine. The staff was good and accommodating. But it a good experience, not anything special. Happy I was able to share the experience with my friends.

Everything but the chocolate biscotti was a tart fruit flavor. Strawberry macroon, orange tart, citrus cookie, lemon blueberry scone. There are many flavors that aren't a tart fruit flavor, and especially not citrus. The sandwiches were good, but tiny. The scones were practically microscopic, and this was especially bad because they are a major part of afternoon tea. The service was very good, but on the whole, I found your tea a waste of my time and money.

BEYOND awful, its worse than a 1 star motel diner. 1. Terrible non existent service, took over 30 mins FOR a brunch item. 2. Out of 10 items on the brunch menu 3 were not available. 3. Coffee, I asked if they can make flat white, she said yes, my friend got cappuccino but they were EXACTLY THE SAME AND ice COLD. 4. Food arrived after 30 mins no explanation or apologies the pattie was cold and the avocado toast was disgusting. The poached egg on top was hard boiled, (NOT POACHED) and the guacamole or whatever was supposed to be avocado was brownish, not green. Our stomach was aching for hours after eating that rubbish. I can’t believe this is served in a Soho house, fast food places have more quality, I would not touch it again for free. 5. servers had so much attitude. DO NOT COME HERE, literally go anywhere else and they offer better food and service.

Service has really been going downhill. Food comes out with long wait times, servers forget silverware, missing menu items, and just overall not attentive.

You gotta be kidding me! Out of The tower, smoothie in plastic bottle, cold eggs, tasteless food, slow, indifferent service. Seated at huge table in far corner. All in a beautiful place.

My roommate and I came to the Allis for brunch to celebrate our birthdays, and while it is a beautiful spot, both the service and the food were subpar. I’m not sure if they thought we wouldn’t tip because we’re in college and decided to barely serve us, but the staff would not make eye contact with us and were rude and standoffish. Also my blueberry pancakes had peaches?

Service is non existent Latte are made horribly Food is subpar..
This place is stunning. Unfortunately that's about all the positives for our visit to the Allis. We had a brunch reservation for 6 and when we arrived we were shunted to a massive table for 10 in the far corner of the restaurant near the bussing station. Although the restaurant wasn't crowded, the staff told us they had no other tables for us. The service was ridiculously slow and awkward. Our servers switched mid-meal. Half our food was brought out a full five minutes before the half, and half of that was cold. The kitchen was out of their signature breakfast offering- the Allis— despite it only being 10:45 in the morning. The server claimed they only made 4 a day! Then they were out of the blueberry compote to accompany the ricotta pancakes. The food was generally underwhelming. Service was unprofesssional. This restaurant has a serious management problem.

Food is good. Wouldn’t recommend whatsoever in merit or service. Stood, only person in like, at host while two hosts glanced at me then gossiped unrelated to work, 18in from me. Once seated couldn’t even get water for 20min.

I don't remember the last time I left less than 20% tip. This warranted less that 15. We came for tea based on the eater article. Table was dirty despite being set. Staff was apathetic and chose to do sidework or chat instead of stopping by her 2 tables, service was slow, no additional drink orders, etc. We should have left when she challenged me on being a vegetarian and said it was ok that I couldnt eat all the sandwiches (3 finger sandwiches). Food was good and well presented, but not enough of it for an afternoon tea service, no milk/sugar for the tea, etc. Cool location, we won't be back.

This place used to serve some of the most delicious dishes in Chicago, but our group of four was very disappointed with the quality of the food this time. The salad was poorly prepared—just chopped cabbage with sauce. The pizza was also unsatisfying, tasting as if it came from a frozen package. While the atmosphere remains gorgeous and the coffee is still good, the food quality has declined significantly, leaving all four of us embarrassed by the experience.

Came to the Allis on a weekday morning for a quick bite. It did not disappoint. Salmon platter and avocado toast with poached egg were both absolutely delicious. On a weekday morning the shop it self was quite quiet, with only one other person, but we did come early and it did start to fill up when we left. Seating is very comfy and looks like a good place to work remotely. Would come again.
