American restaurant · Bucktown

@cntraveler

"Located on the ground level of The Robey hotel, this chic eatery expresses the same creative-cool vibes found throughout the Wicker Park work-stay hangout. Brunch go-tos like mimosas and bloody marys are on offer, alongside a few clever takes on caffeine-infused cocktails—namely the Morning After (a revamped vodka Red Bull) and the Espresso Martini. Executive chef Michael Elliott spins out seasonal comfort cuisine, as evidenced by options like the Fall Spice French Toast (with cranberry jam, pumpkin mascarpone, and gingersnap crumble), duck hash (with charred onions and poblano), and Nashville hot chicken (with buttermilk apple slaw and hot sauce), all of which can't be missed. Come here solo for some on-point, pre-work fuel, or rally the gang for weekend brunch—i.e. a reason to lift mimosas, order an array of egg preps, and swap Saturday eve tales." - Nicole Schnitzler
