Very good food and great staff. The heat was out, but they put heaters every where. They do have valet available.
Very cool atmosphere at this place, and good cocktails and entrees. Service was great and a bit laid back so we didn't feel rushed. Focused menu with several great choices of meat, vegetarian, salads or pizza. A few gluten free and vegan options as well. The sweet and savory pizza was particularly good. The only minor drawback is that all beers are bottled with no drafts, but they still have a good selection that pairs nicely with the food. Bonus points for a family restroom in the lobby, which adjoins the nearby theaters. Close to public transportation as well. Get it
My family has been coming here as part of a Christmas outing the past few years. The atmosphere is modern yet cozy and the menu is unbeatable. We love ordering a variety of appetizers for the table before the main course & we have never been disappointed. Great place to spend an evening, eat well crafted dishes & enjoy conversation with family/friends.
Excellent farm to table restaurant! The brussel sprouts are very savory and some of the best I’ve had! I had the salmon for the main course and was not disappointed. The fish was very fresh and tinder. The glaze was very complimentary and didn’t overpower the taste of the salmon. The bed of rice was delicious, and the spinach was nutty and flavorful as well. The whole dish was perfect and executed in a way that can only be done with the freshest ingredients. Would definitely go again!
Great find next door to Music Box Theater. Went here for a dinner and movie group date. The food was great! Almost convinced my friend the buffalo cauliflower were buffalo chicken bites they were so good. The pizza was cooked to perfection with solid toppings. My friends really enjoyed their burgers too. The service was super friendly, quick and helpful. Definitely recommend for a bit and drink before heading to the theater!
Great experience after going to a movie near by at the Movie Box. The staff is very conscious that many people dine here before a show at the adjoining Mercury Theater which I really appreciated. The menu changes with the season.
This month they added a beef short rib pasta dish that had me basically licking the bowl the dish was so tasty.
Quaint neighborhood restaurant. The staff was very friendly, the food was tasty but wasn't ready all at the same time.
Bottomless mimosas were a huge selling point!
Their toast combo is tasty and a very healthy amount of food.
Worth a visit if you're wandering down Southport.
Looked online for a place to eat before going to Black Ensemble Theatre. Took a chance after reviewing their menu. This place was phenomenal. The Vegetable Bruschetta was done well and not smothered in balsamic. The carmelized salmon was outstanding and the pomme frittes steak was very tasty, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Top it off with warm and friendly service (Daniel was great) and you have a hit. We live 40 miles away, but will be back. It’s well worth the ride!
Greeted warmly and quickly by host. Seated outdoors in partial shade as requested. Attentive waitstaff as waited for brunch companion. Low-priced iced tea. Frequent water refills. Tasty vegetarian omelet with fresh ingredients from southwestern Michigan farm. Delicious fruit plate starter. Unrushed service as completed meal. Affordable, varied brunch menu. Will visit again for brunch or lunch.
A neighborhood gem. Grassroots serves seasonal fair, with constantly rotating menu. Great mix drinks, you can get a beer or a glass of wine for less than 10 dollars. Brunch is fantastic....big fan of the tuna tacos. The dinner menu does not price itself out of being a weekly restaurant stop. They call themselves a neighborhood restaurant, and if you spend enough time at Grassroots, or down the street at the Music Box or one of the Surs, you'll see Lynne & John saying hello to various passersby. Any day of the week, Cubs Game, theater performance, or rainy Thursday, it is just a nice place to be. Good people and good food. Great restaurant, and when you sit outside great people watching to boot.
