Delicious brunch! Really good service! I came here for a solo brunch after church. I spent $40 and it was well spent.

I ordered the traditional French toast with just strawberries, a single scrambled egg, breakfast potatoes and sausage. They didn’t have any mocktails or curated non-alcoholic beverages, but the bar made me a strawberry lemonade and added tonic water and it was tasty!

The service was good, I was able to come right in and get seated. The server was attentive and answered all my questions.

Here’s what I loved: the French toast were really good without syrup. They didn’t need syrup they were that tasty. The breakfast potatoes and the eggs were cooked to perfection.

The sausage wasn’t my favorite. The sausage have kind of a tough exterior and soft inside. I wasn’t used to that and didn’t like that very much.

I’d definitely come back in the future and recommend this restaurant.

Their patio was great. I sat outside on a 75 degree day. It was perfect!! The ambiance is pretty casual inside, but still nice and clean.

A great place for brunch in the west loop!

This house has such a phenomenal view. The food was good but they didn’t have a ton of gluten free, dairy free or vegan options. What I did eat was good (flank steak, fries, broccolini) and the service was great. This was one of the busiest soho houses I’ve ever been to - it was packed. That’s the only downside to my experience… but I also came on Good Friday at 2pm when I’m sure a lot of people were off work.
