“We came here to celebrate our friend’s bachelorette weekend, and it was the perfect choice! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was exceptional. Charly was an amazing waiter! friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He really helped make the celebration special. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be back!”
“The food is phenomenal. I went back twice for the alfredo. Price reasonable and drinks are tasty.”
“Johny was literally the BEST! Drinks were flowing, vibes were great. Food was top tier and the whole experience was so much fun, made my sister's 21st bday so fun💕”
“Haben hier die besten Pancakes in unserem USA Urlaub gegessen!”
“Charly was amazing! Bottomless mimosas- absolutely bottom less and not watered down! Breakfast- delicious! Fabulous staff!”
“Konum olarak çok güzel bir yerde. Lezzetlerde çok nefis. Özellikle Chicago style hash kahvaltısını denemelisiniz.”
“We just finished our delicious American Breakfast of sunny side up eggs, thick bacon, breakfast potatoes and English muffin and I had to write about how good it was immediately! Perfectly cooked and seasoned and the right temperature! Also, the coffee was delicious and the right strength and temperature. I feel so energized now and ready to keep going on tours! We woke up very tired this morning from the last 2 days of exciting back to back sightseeing. We did an online order and walked next door to pick it and bring it to our room. L & L kitchen is at the London House next to Royal Sonesta Hotel. The restaurant is clean and cozy with indoor and outdoor seating. Very nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and efficient. Sitting indoors or outdoors is great. I don't know about parking because we are Ubering or taxiing everywhere. There is lots of traffic everywhere! I don't see parking lots anywhere. Lots of public transportation though. I highly recommended this place!”
“Amazing food for amazing prices right in front of Chicago river! If you’re staying at LondonHouse or around the area, this is a great brunch/dinner spot. Shoutout to Rebeca and Alejandro, who made our breakfast / dinner a memorable experience. Same to the late night crew, who had coffee available for us working late hours. Looking forward to the next time!”
“Cet endroit a été pour moi un espace vraiment chaleureux, j'étais de passage a Chicago pour quelques jours et j'avais des bons pour venir manger ici grâce à l'hôtel où j'avais réservé et bah franchement je ne regrette rien car tous le monde est bienveillant, souriant, aimable et à l'écoute et ils prennent vraiment le temps de te comprendre car étant française je faisais au mieux pour leur parler (heureusement j'avais mes écouteurs traducteur 🙏) ils ont été vraiment incroyable avec moi même à la saint Valentin franchement ces personnes là sont des perles rares, ils m'ont réchauffer le coeur merci beaucoup à toute l'équipe et joyeuses saint Valentin à vous, vous êtes les meilleurs vraiment merci pour tout 🤗”
“Cafe is near our hotel so we went there for breakfasts. Recommended! Lots of options, great view, affordable prices”
“The first affordable meal I ate since arriving in Chicago. The service, food and environment were all top knotch! Big thanks to our server Johnny. Would highly recommend!”
“My friend and I discovered this place last year when we came to visit for the Glow concert. We love the comfortable cozy Bar and Kitchen area and the outstanding food and service from the bartenders and staff. They really make you feel at home, and are very fun to talk to. They're also very good at suggesting where to go based on your interests. We had such a good experience last year, we booked a hotel next door this year, for our stay/Glow concert trip. We were super excited to see that Matt, our favorite bartender from last year was still working the bar! In addition we spent plenty of time with Mike, Cameron, and Danny and now we have 4 favorite people there! The hushpuppies are to die for. Their French fries also. The salads, the fish sandwich and the pesto mushroom omelet. Everything is fresh. Ask Matt or Mike to make you an espresso Martini made with Amaro Alverna if it's later in the day and you don't want caffeine! See you next year Land and Lake!! Thank you all and happy Holidays!!”
