Love their brunch menu 😆 It is definitely the best in Streeterville and think one of the best in the city, and their bloody Mary's are great!

The nicest place to stop for coffee in Streeterville. Their special lattes are well flavored and not oversweetened. And they take Level Up!

Food is delicious. Enjoyed my portobellos mushroom & dandelion eggplant. Flatbreads are great too! Wish the portions were little bigger.

Used to be a neighborhood hidden gem, but it's getting popular now. Been here for mostly brunch and dinner once, mostly satisfactory experience.

You must have the Brussels sprouts. I can't explain it, but they taste like a mouthful of Christmas. Even if you think you hate the sprout, try these, you will be a convert.

I eat here quite frequently. Am disappointed by their brunch menu as it is severely limiting for a person with an egg allergy and the kitchen/waitress have expressed zero flexibility. :( #disappointed

Incredibly slow service... How come people that arrived much later than us got their food before us? We ordered eggs....... And a croissant. Didn't know it could take so long. Won't be returning.
