I visited here for the first time on a certain day in September 2025. I ordered a Classic Benedict and a glass of Iced tea. Both of them tasted great. The inside of this restaurant was clean and quiet. The staffs were very kind and helpful. This restaurant is near highway 90.

We went to this new location for Family Ugly Sweater Brunch. The ambiance of the restaurant was very amazing. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. We started with Coffee and Hot Chocolate. I really loved the coffee. And then we ordered Omelette, egg Benedict, Veggie Skillet, Cheese Quesadillas, avocado toast and Very Berry Crepe Veggie Skillet was the best. It was so amazing. Omelette got #2 Cheese Quesadillas gets #3 Egg Benedict and Avocado sandwich gets #4

The food was very tasty and came out hot. They didn't have exactly what I wanted for an omelette but let me make substitutions on the veggie that they had. It was delicious. The rye toast was nice and thick too. My husband had the blueberry pancakes and said they were outstanding. They didn't have their espresso machine yet so had the house coffee which was the only disappointment as I didn't care for the flavor and wasn't strong. We will be coming back as there were other tasty things on the menu.

Highly recommend! I love breakfast food, but unfortunately it's been a while since I've had a five ⭐ experience. This my friends will be the new spot! Somehow I missed this restaurant opening, and came to check it out today. I was extremely pleasantly surprised! We'd come to the original place a couple years back but that one had closed down. This new restaurant is great, very nice new decorations, service staff was also super nice/polite/amiable/attentive, and most importantly their food was impressive! I highly recommend the Veggie Skillet with eggs sunny side up and the Irish Skillet! The coffee was also very good and the cappuccino although a little strong for me, was also good. I just loved the skillets, I'm a huge fan of hash browns so I was a little in between the Omelette and Skillet with potatoes vs. harsh browns. However, no regrets, the potatoes with the skillet were phenomenal! The skillets are served piping hot so watch out, but the potatoes were perfectly crispy and seasoned very well. All the veggies were grilled very nicely and the eggs kept the skillet nice and warm almost till the last bite (yes I finished the entire skillet ) ! My husband ordered the Irish Skillet and it was scrumptious! I'm not a huge fan of meat, but the corned beef was deliciously prepared and made his skillet. We will be back for the sweet side of the menu - hopefully soon and will report back!

They kept my Kona coffee filled, offered one to go too. The food is great! I had the very berry crepes and they are outstanding. Very nice makeover of the restaurant for sure. We had the honor of being served by Gabrielle. Seeing all the staff working together is great to see. See you again soon. Also, no more inkind app accepted here

This place is so beautiful from the moment I walked in the door. The service was amazing and the food was even better. It made me want to dance in my seat. This is my first trip to Chicago and I highly recommend this place for breakfast. Edited: We ended up eating here two days in a row. Our waiter was Oskar and he was fabulous. Very polite and took care of us well.
