The old-school vibe here is the real draw. My family&rsquo;s been coming for ages. The wine list is surprisingly solid for a neighborhood spot like this&mdash;found a nice Cabernet that hit the spot. Always feels familiar.

The street corn taco is my go-to. You can really taste the freshness of the corn and the cilantro. It&#39;s a simple, healthy option that feels satisfying. I appreciate that they use quality ingredients.

The cake tasting was fun. We tried a few flavors for a wedding cake. The custom cakes are pricey, but the quality is solid for a big event like that.

Service was quick and friendly. The food&#39;s always solid. I like that they have a decent wine list, nothing crazy but a few good options by the glass. Makes for a reliable spot when you just want a simple meal with a proper drink.

The staff here is always so nice. Last time, this one server really knew the menu inside out. Helped us pick a dish we ended up loving. Just makes the whole vibe better.

Solid food with interesting flavors. The signature radish topping on many dishes is a nice touch. I really enjoyed the tacos, especially the cecina and al pastor. The goat adobo was unique and not too gamey.

If you are traveling through Chicago with Polaris access, this lounge is worth spending 15 mins or 5 hours. Excellent, fresh buffet options, full and well-staffed bar, and ample comfortable seating. Showers and business rooms are also available. For those who prefer, there is a dining room with table service and a few cooked-to-order menu options. (Didn&rsquo;t try as we were very happy with the breakfast buffet, and then again with the lunch buffet!)

Been coming here for years. The matcha float is the one to get, the ice cream tastes homemade. Coffee&#39;s good too. It&#39;s a chill spot for a treat.

Quick and friendly service, got my order right away. The staff was efficient, and they had a decent house red that hit the spot.

The rice in their sushi was just right, you know? That&#39;s how you can tell. Prices are so good for the quality. It&#39;s take-out only, which was fine for my quick lunch.

The building itself is the main draw. They&#39;ve kept the original radiators and woodwork, which is a nice touch. Took the owner&#39;s tour during the open house&mdash;informative and straightforward. A solid spot for a business lunch downtown.

The French toast flight is a must-try, especially the blueberry one. Portions are huge for the price. The space itself is really bright and airy, with big windows and lots of plants. It just feels nice to sit in.

The Reuben is a solid choice. Good pastrami, rye holds up. Shakes are thick, not overly sweet. Poppers had a nice kick. Service was efficient during the lunch rush. A reliable spot near the office.

Came here for a quick business dinner. The Cowgirl maki was solid, good enough that we got a second order. Hot sake hit the spot. Service was efficient, got us in and out in under an hour. Convenient location for a post-meeting spot.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast. The avocado toast was huge, easily big enough for two. For the price, the portion was a real surprise. A solid way to start the day without breaking the bank.

Came here to get some work done. A few tables have outlets which is super helpful. It&#39;s usually pretty quiet, except when the train goes by.

The spicy chicken sandwich was solid, but the fries really stood out. Perfectly crispy and way better than your average side.
