Review Beatrix - Chicago

It was really good. I usually prefer my enchiladas a bit spicier, but the flavors overall were spot on. The hot coney Brussels were perfectly crispy, easily our favorite dish. The ravioli was a bit rich for us, but still great, especially with the bean sprouts adding a nice touch.

A very popular brunch spot, or really anytime of the day, in the River North area. They serve a decent number of classic breakfast dishes but have good looking lunch and dinner menu as well. I’d suggest making a reservation or be prepared to wait even on a weekday. Food I got the prime burger and was satisfied it. The buns were my favorite part and were nicely toasted. The cheese melted on top of the patty added some nice flavors. Good amount of vegetables to balance it out. Fries were good but nothing too special. I got a fresh made lemonade as well and would recommend it if you are looking for something refreshing. Atmosphere The place is bustling with people and lively. Noise level was not loud though. There are nice views of the street and perfect on a sunny day to get brunch with friends. The interior is nicely decorated. Pricing Prices were average for food in Chicago and worth the food quality. Service Service was great. The server was overly nice saying that I had to wait too long for my food even though it came out promptly. Other I would make a reservation if possible because there will be a wait at this popular spot.

Ate here as we were heading out of Chicago for my birthday weekend. It was a really fun place to eat at. We ate at the bar and enjoyed the spicy chicken sandwich along with the espresso and mimosas! Staff was great and super fun.

Let’s go! Phenomenal. Amazing experience. We enjoyed ourselves so much! The ambiance is great. The staff is efficient, knowledgeable, and on top of their service. The guac is delicious! And the burger was cooked exactly the way I wanted it. The bartending is great too, one of the best martinis I’ve had. You can’t go wrong. We enjoyed every thing.

Came here for brunch. Noise level was a tad loud but nothing bothersome. The waiter was very kind and apologetic when one of our dishes didn’t come out in a timely manner. The Cinnamon bun was very tasty. The bacon was truly wonderful, if you don’t get anything else at least get the bacon. Other dishes we ordered included the lemon pancakes, chicken sandwich, and burger. Also try the margarita it’s quite good.

I tried the shrimp in grits. It was not the flavor i expected as the description said spicy. It lacked spice and appeal. The atmosphere was great, the service and drinks was perfect. I would suggest trying other menu items and the bakery does look good so i would give it another shot.

We had Friday brunch- booking was easy and 30 minutes in advance, plenty of tables. The place is big and crowded but you do not feel it. We could have a conversation, food arrives In reasonable time and was tasty. Service was very good. It is a reasonable place with plenty of options.

The food is good - but too "tweaked." The lemon pancakes don't look like the photos - they're not fluffy at all. They're very thin, almost like crepe height. They're thinner than they look in my photos. Lol. And the consistency is soft, like they're not cooked all the way. Very lemon flavor. The sausage patties were both sweet and spicey. And the Mexican cold brew coffee was very sweet. Presentation is good, service was good. Prices reasonable. But I wouldn't get pancakes again.

I went for brunch at 1:00 pm. I recommend making a reservation. Without a reservation, you'll still get seated, but you will be waiting. The hostesses, servers, and food were all great. I really enjoyed the 80s music 🎶

I'd been wanting to visit here for SOOO LONGGG and finally got to! This was my fiancées first meal in Chicago and it did not disappoint. The portions were just the right size. There were pescetarian and vegetarian options which worked out great for us. My favorite dish, the appetizer, and possibly one of the best dishes I've ever had was the whipped feta. I could eat this with the seeded crackers for eternity. I was in some sort of trance, I swear. I always navigate towards dishes that seem seasonal so I went with the spinach and ricotta ravioli with the squash, sugar snap peas and the cream sauce. It was delicious and comforting. The Kennebec fries with the crispy Lemons and chilis (what a brilliant idea!) were a tasty added side dish for the salmon that my fiancé ordered. He loved the flavorful miso glazed salmon dish and would highly recommend. I had to pass on the dessert options and regret it! Looking forward to coming back.

Whatever you do, DO NOT sit at the bar to eat. Two out of the three servers behind the bar really need a lesson in how to interact with customers. In particular, the young lady behind the bar acted as if I was bothering her to the worst degree when I asked for something as simple as ketchup. I try to avoid writing negative reviews, but a couple of the servers working the morning before Memorial Day behind the bar need lessons in not just customer service, but human interactions 101. I mean, if you dislike dealing with customers, why obtain a job in customer service?! Also, my breakfast was cold, and when I asked for ketchup, the server who brought me my food never came back with it after I asked him very politely if I could please have some ketchup. After waiting, I asked the young lady, who ignored me until after the eighth time asking. When I asked her nicely for some ketchup, she stated coldly “Hold on,” and after I proceeded to wait for several more minutes, she put out on the counter in a very rude manner a very, very small portion of ketchup (The couple next to me even looked at me in semi-dismay on how I was being treated). I talked to the manager after my horrendous breakfast experience, and he was professional and apologetic, even giving me his business card, telling me to ask for him when I come back. However, I will not be back. I always tip 20% or more, and this was one of the first times I have not done so (I was a server, and do know how necessary tips are). I guess common sense manners, etc. do not apply towards obtaining a job at this establishment. To summarize, I was treated as a major hindrance, not a customer.

We had the most amazing service this morning, both from our server and the manager. After we requested a table outside, we were happily enjoying our brunch when a swarm of bumblebees decided to join us and dive into our entrees and coffees. The manager graciously made room for us inside, ordered us all new food (which was AMAZING by the way) and truly just made our morning in Chicago.

I don't think I'd get through the day without coffee from here everyday. Not just because they brew Metropolis and Intelliegentsia, but because their coffee bar staff is fantastic. Special shoutout to Raz!
