    Waitress was the downfall. Make sure she doesn’t lose your check and run after you asking why you didn’t sign or tip :/ 0 stars.

    Wonderful place to enjoy different menu options. I always enjoy the seafood options. Salmon kebob was very tasty as was the rice. Husband enjoyed the steak and frittes. The spreads with the pita breads are also a great way to start your meal. Lots to choose from which keeps you going back.

    The blueberry biscuit was to die for! We also tried the frittata which was really good as well. I personally didn’t love the bagel. The restaurant was beautiful!

    Loves everything here! The vibe of the place was spacious and not too loud, good for a family visit or large group. I loved the short rib hummus and falafel.

    It’s been a while since I’ve been to the chicago location. Most recent was in Austin which was amazing. This time in chicago, food was drenched in oil and just not good. Place appeared worn. Hostess stand was very subpar could have been more accommodating and friendly. Waitress was great. Unfortunately disappointing.
