“Great organic restaurant in the heart of Wrigleyville.”

Great organic restaurant in the heart of Wrigleyville. Greenstar brewing is also on site. The food is very tasty and they go the extra mile to use sustainable ingredients across the board. The staff is excellent and the vibe is vibrant and cozy. I highly recommend a reservation and if you have a concert at Metro or are heading to Wrigley, this is a great pre game spot.

“This is one of my favorite places when visiting Chicago.”

This is one of my favorite places when visiting Chicago. The risotto and pot pie were both good. Friendly service. They do take reservations.

“Fantastic spot for breakfast or lunch just a short walk from Wrigley field.”

Fantastic spot for breakfast or lunch just a short walk from Wrigley field. Service was very attentive with the owner even coming to all the tables to ensure our experience was going well. The good was delicious and our whole table cleared our entire plates. I highly recommend the scrambler. Lots of windows up front and multiple rooms to sit in the back as well as a beautiful covered patio. Any time I am in Wrigleyville I plan to go back.

“Loved the food here.”

Loved the food here. It was my first time, and was amazed at how good they are. Their carrot cake is very yum!! Oh, and their coffee's good too. Service was great, friendly, and polite. And I loved the vibe of the place and art hanging on their walls.

“The great thing about a big city like Chicago is you can stumble upon places like Uncommon Ground.”

The great thing about a big city like Chicago is you can stumble upon places like Uncommon Ground. Walking back to our hotel we randomly stopped in for a beer, very glad we did. Bartender was convivial, answered all of our questions about the beer and gave us a little history of the business. The beers we tried were really outstanding. Keeping this place on the list for our next trip to Chicago.

“The perfect Sunday brunch spot.”

The perfect Sunday brunch spot! The Salmon Eggs Benedict, Breakfast Sammie, and Lemon Blueberry Pancakes were all so good in their own ways. We sat outside on the patio which was lovely, but the inside of the restaurant is homey, bright, and eclectically decorated, also. Our server, Daniel, was warm and helpful. We will definitely be back again!

“there's something so satisfying eating here knowing that the guy you had an unreasonable crush on...”

there's something so satisfying eating here knowing that the guy you had an unreasonable crush on is a huge loser and if you're in love with a loser that makes you one too, so just ghost the guy and take yourself out to eat salmon and enjoy the fact that your brain is quiet now not having to psychoanalyze a person who just doesn't like you, the food is good

“I always love supporting this local farm-to-table restaurant.”

I always love supporting this local farm-to-table restaurant. The outdoor seating is bordered by what looks to be edible vegetation. The inside is covered with beautiful art. Even with an afternoon Cubs game we were able to be seated without issue. We enjoyed the Chop Salad and the Greens and Grains salad. They are sizeable portions. I also enjoyed a mocha BOWL (think mocha served like soup covered in whipped cream)!!)

“Excellent brunch food and Bloody Mary.”

Excellent brunch food and Bloody Mary. The Ham and Cheese Stuffed French Toast was amazing - though I do still prefer their classic Eggs Benedict.

Visited the lake view location before a Cubs game a week ago. Outstanding service. Excellent food - such a fresh selection and super cool art vibe. Don’t miss the roasted cauliflower- Chicken sandwich was soooo good. Will definitely return!
