“We stopped here for the first time for brunch and had a nice time.”

We stopped here for the first time for brunch and had a nice time! We came 2:00 on a Saturday and it was a good time. Not very busy. The food was fresh and tasty. A bit on the pricey side to me, but the restaurant was nice and the service was great.

Came right at the end of breakfast on a Tuesday. The food was amazing! Serve cocktails before noon and the service was great. Was exactly what I was looking for! Will be back!

“We just left River North Bistro and I give them a 10/10.”

We just left River North Bistro and I give them a 10/10. My family and I are visiting Chicago with another family so this means there are 10 of us total. We didn’t think to book a reservation before we showed up (our mistake). However, everyone at the restaurant was so nice and accommodating. They sat us quickly and the service was great. Our food was also great! Look at the picture of this kids meal! I definitely recommend and we likely will be back again before we leave!

Super cute spot located in the Eurostar hotel :) The ambiance was amazing and the server was nice enough to give us the breakfast menu 2 minutes before breakfast ended. The food was delicious and hot; comforting and perfect for a cool rainy day :)

Very aesthetic outdoor patio, great service and very tasty food! Loved the tomato bread with whipped ricotta and the grain salad stole the show (gorgeous and delicious). Happy hour deals for food and beverages were also extremely fair /happy to have stumbled into a rare Sunday happy hour offering

“What a nice find.”

What a nice find! Beautiful interior, lots of natural lighting, and not noisy at all. Very friendly staff and the food was delicious. I got the Lake Benedict with a side of bacon. Fresh juice and very good coffee too!

“Went for breakfast.”

Went for breakfast. Nice welcome, good solid tasty food. Try the Truffle & Wild Mushrooms Scramble, also the Croissant Breakfast sandwiches. Could improve in having better coffee though. Efficient service although the server was alone. Still was nice and timely. Quiet airy ambiance with lots of natural light. Would definitely return.

“I recently visited this place for breakfast during my stay with my son.”

I recently visited this place for breakfast during my stay with my son. Opted for the eggs benedict with potatoes, being a big fan of poached eggs. The hollandaise sauce was delightful. My son went for the non-alcoholic spice drink, surprisingly delicious! They offer a great deal on bottomless drinks, though I didn't try. Instead, I went for the "Smoke Show" with tequila, mezcal, blood orange, lime, and tajin – the tajin rim added the perfect spice to this exceptional drink. The overall experience was delightful; the staff, including the servers and general manager, were incredibly friendly and attentive. If you find yourself in River North, I wholeheartedly recommend it. The ambiance is vibrant, and the venue exudes impeccable cleanliness and charm. With both outdoor and indoor seating options, it must be particularly delightful during the summer months. However, during the winter, it transforms into a cozy spot, perfect for enjoying a comforting brunch with my son.
