   Series of excuses by the waiteress, as drinks were 25 minute wait (miscommunication with bartender she said) and side food dishes ordered did not arrive until after the patrons had completed their main entree but did not get thei side of saudage (kitchen was busy she said). Quality of food OK but biscuits and gravey not to standards of Swift & Sons Tavern Wrigleyville as we had brunch there the day before. Had made reservations months in advance and yet on arrival only place to sit was outside for immeditae sitting, holding the reservation is key. As far as busy, well a Cubs game was on and I belive the Cubs play ball regulalrly on a Sunday so excuse of it being busy seems weak, would think they would know what to expect. Avocado toast was good and sourdough pancakes fluffy but could have used more syrup in my view and given our service was afraid to ask for more. French toast was fine but no friut accompaniment and for an organic restaurant one might think that would be the norm. Bacon on the side was really good though, as was the side chorizo (no kitchen error there). May have been a one off but with so many choices in the area best to bring the A game and that day was not it.

   Coming here after a Cub game is a highlight. We sat outside which was nice among the plants. Michael. our waiter, was so nice and attentive. We go for the meatloaf which is so amazing. Finishd with gelato. Many different beers to try. We will be back again and again.

   Food was amazing but service was okay. Food came out in a decent time but we waited for the drinks until our food showed up.

   We went for brunch on a Sunday. Coffee was excellent, breakfast Sammie was delicious, avocado toast and strawberry Pancakes were solid, the stuffed French Toast was different, not bad, but definitely unusual, probably would not get that again, but it was worth the risk. A little on the pricey side, but a solid brunch that I would not hesitate to go to again and again.

    Nice to find more gluten-free options on a menu, than usual. Their food is farm to table and very good. The GF bun was good, not rock hard or falling apart on the burger. The GF chocolate cake was delicious! They also have a nice mocktail option with ginger beer. Service was good and food came quickly. Wish they had more locations across the city!
