    This was our first stop after our flight landed in Chicago! It was a Sunday morning, and we enjoyed a wonderful leisurely brunch! All of the food was wonderful, but the highlight of this place for us were their juices and beverages. Very personable waitress. What we loved about the ambience was that, despite the high ceilings, the noise factor was not at all overbearing.

    Ah-mazing food. My daughter got the challah berry French toast and said it was the best meal ever. My baby loved the breakfast potatoes. I had an omelette with chorizo and it was delish. Service was quick and very nice. It's very clean and a great atmosphere. Modern and nice but still kid-friendly.

    This place is great!! The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are friendly and attentive. Then there is the food. I had the lobster roll Benedict and it was amazing! Perfectly poached eggs with lobster filling and brioche bread! My husband had the classic and loved it as well. Also they have no gluten free bread BUT they DO have gluten free pancakes! They also always have lots of fresh squeezed juice options. They don't take reservations but on sunday at 11am we didn't have to wait for a table of 3 but I can see them having a longer wait so be prepared. Just know that it is worth the wait and if you go on Sunday there is a farmer's market right behind the restaurant.

    I really enjoyed The Bongo Room! While out and about we saw a long line for here so decided we had to try it out. The interior is very welcoming, nice decorations everywhere. We were sat at the bar which wasn't my favorite, but that's just cause it was so so busy. Our waitress was so friendly and the food was unique and so good! We ordered the pumpkin pancakes, and chocolate tower French toast. Both were really sweet, and very yummy. I'd love to try more of the menu in the future. Also had a chai latte which did not disappoint. I love brunch places so this is definitely one to revisit
