"In the land of a thousand brunches, this all-day Grant Park brunch staple rises above them all. And that’s why this place stays busy, so get here early or during the weekday lunch hour when it’s easy to slide into one of the upcycled church pew benches without a wait. We’ve been here numerous times, smothering crispy country-fried tempeh in creamy white pepper gravy while trying to establish a connecting theme in the trippy art and colorful mosaics. We’ve got nothing. But we do think they should add a golden griddle sculpture to honor their always consistent, fabulously fluffy buttermilk pancakes." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
