What a fantastic find! I am so rarely impressed when I go out, but Chicory was absolutely incredible! So inspired and inventive! Everything was absolutely delicious! My taste buds and soul were so happy. Had the scallops, carrots, smoked potatoes and biscuits. I cannot wait to return and try more of the amazing menu! Service was wonderful.Very sweet husband and wife owned place. Only regret is that I hadn't tried it sooner. What a gem! Thank you Chicory!

I feel like this place is a hidden gem! I go to a lot of restaurants and I usually only settle for some of the best but this restaurant was a surprise for the moment we walked in with how quaint and Bohemian that was, the service was wonderful, and the food was incredibly good. I never had raw scallops before but it was a meal to remember! I loved it. It was a very cozy and quaint spot for my husband and I to just close it next to each other and have a good conversation with wonderful food. I loved how thoughtful the menu was and how light it is as well in choice and health sections. Definitely plan to go again

Had an excellent brunch here. French toast was phenomenal!
I took my brothers (visiting from California) to Chicory for a special meal. Most of what we ordered was really good. The menu is unique and a lot of the flavor combinations are really creative and inventive. (We all felt there was way too much sauce on the grits, which overpowered everything else on the plate, but maybe that was a personal taste kind of thing, and most people like it that way.) We had planned on picking up gelato at Sophie's scoops after dinner to bring home and enjoy later in the evening. Once we ordered our meal, I looked it up online and saw that Sophie's was closing in a just few minutes. So I ran the block to get our gelato before they closed. When I saw the thin paper bag they put it in I asked if they had a cold bag or any way to wrap it to stay cold, because we were eating at Chicory, and didn't have any other option but to ask them to keep it cold for us. The young woman behind the counter confidently said "Oh no worries, I'm sure they'll put it in the freezer for you." And I said, "Are you sure?" and she said "Oh yes, we all support each other's businesses downtown." I ran back with the gelato in time to enjoy our appetizers, which had just been served. Apparently, my brothers had already thought to ask if we could put the gelato in their freezer. They were told no. So when the waitress next came to the table, I asked if by any chance they had a plastic bag I could put it in so we could dump the ice from under our oysters into the bag to keep it cold, and she coldly said no, they didn't have a plastic bag. This was said without looking for one, without asking in back, without a smile. Just No. I asked if they had a paper bag. Looking truly put out, without a word, she simply turned and walked away. A moment later a man (who I can only assume was the manager or the owner) came over, looking very annoyed, and coldly asked what the issue was. It felt as if he thought we were causing a huge problem. I explained that I had run to get ice cream at Sophie's, and we just wanted to try to keep it cold while we ate, and that they had said that they were sure that Chicory would put it in their freezer for us. He condescendingly told us he would NEVER put outside food in their freezer. This was delivered with total attitude, as if we were complete idiots. OK, certainly the attitude was unnecessary, but there may be some health issues that I'm not aware of. So I said that was why I had asked if he had a plastic bag we could put it in and we'd put the used oyster ice in it. With a cold look, he said "No, we don't have a plastic bag", making it very clear by his tone, that we were being incredibly demanding by asking for a bag. I said "Ok, do you have a paper bag? I guess I could put the small ice cream bag inside another paper bag with the ice." And again, not trying to hide his complete frustration with us, he condescendingly told me it would have been better if I had simply waited until after dinner to get dessert. I explained that Sophie's was closing, which is why I left the table to run over. He just turned and walked away, clearly annoyed with all of us, came back with a paper bag, handed it to me without a word, as if it was really over-the-top request and walked away as I was thanking him. The rest of the meal the vibe we got was that we weren't welcome, and were super difficult customers. In fact after that, instead of our original waitress, August, a lovely man named Andrew took over waiting on us. We suspected that our waitress didn't want to deal with us anymore because, God forbid, we asked for a bag. (Andrew, was lovely, friendly, warm, and very helpful. He was the only one there who made us feel welcome) The hostile attitude towards us was such a surprise and made us feel completely unwelcome. (Meanwhile we were being super friendly, and spending a decent amount of money in their establishment.) I own a retail business myself. I simply don't understand why anyone would

I am always drawn to this bar. The curated drinks are my fave. Great staff and customers. Always a great place to hang on a relaxing weekend or weekend at evening. Food are for tasting experience. Mm mm good!

Lovely evening a few nights ago. It was a Monday night with my husband and daughter. We shared several items on the menu. Cauliflower was a favorite, and the squash soup was rich and filling. The cheesecake was light and flavorful as well as beautifully presented. Atmosphere calm and relaxing. I wish the seats were more soft and comfortable... to match the warm, comforting environment. That's my only suggestion!

My friend has been raving about this place for some time now and I finally had the chance to check it out with her and her partner. So good. I decided to try the squash soup because I wanted to see if my taste has changed. (I hate squash soup and I wanted to give it another go.) I'm so glad I ordered it because it was delicious. I loved the crispy lentils that went with it too. I will def be back to try more of their menu.
Tried this place for dinner. I found there to be few selections for dinner. The food was good but I felt like the place was trying to be something edgy but the atmosphere didn't do it. They did surprise me with a rendition of cooked carrots that I would never have guessed. Otherwise I think once enough for me here.

I've wanted to try this place for so long and was completely disappointed when I finally got a chance to have lunch there. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was probably one of the worst fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The oil was old and I could smell and taste it in every bite. The biscuit was greasy and the side of home fries tasted like they had been reheated. I also had the fried parsnips as an appetizer and those were just uninspired slices of deep-fried (also in old oil) parsnips. Damn shame that this wasn't a better meal because the space is decent and the staff is nice.
