Best Cozy Restaurants in Grant Park

We decided to give our favorite breakfast/brunch spot a visit on a Saturday after thanksgiving which could have been a risk but to our luck it wasn’t busy at all. Our waitress was as very attentive and our food came out fresh. The starter biscuits and muffins were a hit per usual. The sweet tea needs some work because it tasted like water and let’s be honest we’re in the south we love our sweet tea. Also I want to shout out to Brian for checking in on us and making sure our food and service was going well.

If you’re looking for a place that combines elevated dining with a laid-back atmosphere, Saints + Council is a must-visit. From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance and attentive staff make you feel at home. The star of the show? The Goody Burger. It’s not just a burger; it’s a culinary experience. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The balance of flavors is exceptional— Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner, Saints + Council delivers on all fronts. Great service, an inviting atmosphere, and the best burger in town make this spot a new favorite. Don’t sleep on the Goody Burger—you’ll thank me later!

This is a really nice restaurant. The food and service is phenomenal. The only downside is that both times that I have gone to the buffet, they always run out of Grilled Salmon for good before I can get any. They are cut in small little cubes and I can’t understand why it’s always the salmon that they can’t replenish. Super disheartening when you don’t eat pork, beef or chicken. For $60 pp they should be able to get someone to run to a grocery store real quick. Sheeshhh Other than that, I’d recommend.

First time and loved the experience. Fully decorated for Christmas and started our holiday off perfectly - even saw Santa and Mrs Claus. The food was delicious and so was the white sangria!

From the moment we walked in until we left the service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly & knowledgeable about the menu & she gave us an informative history on the restaurant & the owner/chef. The food was amazing. We enjoyed everything.
