“Felix: Modern American Dining nailed brunch from starter to finish. We started with smoked salmon croquettes. A shatteringly crisp panko crust giving way to a rich, flaky salmon filling with just enough creaminess to hold together, plated simply with peppery arugula. My Big Breakfast was a standout! A stack of blueberry pancakes with real fruit studded throughout, dusted with powdered sugar and served alongside warm maple syrup, plus fluffy scrambled eggs, candied peppered bacon with great chew, and well-seasoned crispy breakfast potatoes with a nice char. My husband's Felix Burger came piled high on a glossy brioche bun with peppery arugula and a rich garlic aioli for dipping, paired with a hearty portion of seasoned, crispy-edged fries and classic ketchup. Every component felt intentional — nothing soggy, nothing underseasoned, and portions were more than generous. This is a brunch spot worth the trip.”
“As much fine dining as art deco, Felix offers a wide variety of signature cocktails, starters, entree’s, and please don’t forget to leave room for dessert! If you’re lucky enough, you’ll be hosted by the loveliest green eye-lined hostess, meet the amazing under-spoken manager, and the bees knees server, Jenna. Lovely spot for a quaint dinner, drink or two, and amazing dessert. Thank you Wrigleyville for this neighborhood indoor and outdoor seating local favorite (now mine too)!”
“Great experience our server was phenomenal, the drinks she recommended were fire. The food was delicious. I had the Chicken Vesuvio and it was phenomenal. Will definitely come back!”
“Great environment, the service staff was friendly and attentive as needed. Pastas were delicious!”
“My boyfriend and I went here for Valentine’s Day Brunch. The food and staff were great! We loved everything we ordered. Especially the Crab Rangoon dip!”
“Decided to give this place a try based on the happy hour (Sunday $25 2 course meal) and man am I glad we did. For starters Israel, our server, was fantastic. A+. The food was great, cocktails fun and interesting and the ambiance is nice. Overall this was great! Lasagna and the felix burger both tip top and so was the Brussels sprouts. Also, the portions were huge. Could have easily split the lasagna and Brussels between the 2 of us.”
“Felix is a great spot for elevated comfort food with solid vegetarian options. We tried a variety of dishes, and the highlights for me were the crispy brussels sprouts, Orchard Waldorf salad, rigatoni alla vodka, eggplant parmesan, and the brownie à la mode. Everything was nicely presented, and the flavors were comforting yet elevated. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was the perfect place for a cozy dinner out, and I would definitely recommend it.”
“Great service and a great vibe for a date night, double date, or drink with friends. I had the beet root caprese for 15$ which was a little underwhelming but it tasted good.”
“Waited months for this corner spot to open. Menu is a little sporadic, like they haven't picked a genre despite the diner vibe. Nevertheless, the food was good and service friendly. In the diner spirit I ordered the pork chop. The cocktails were particularly well done. The layout and decor are great. This might have to be my local bar spot. Will definitely be back. Second visit I had the smash burger. It was good but missing something. Maybe seasoning/salt on the meat. The aioli was too thick with mayo. Good but missing a bit of flavor. Cocktails were again delicious. Service was great. Very happy they added outdoor patio seating.”
“Got an invitation to try fall menu & im falling for Felix! The flavors in each dish were perfectly balanced, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. The steak was cooked to perfection!”
“This place is literally so good. They have the BEST gluten free English muffins I’ve ever tasted. Great bottomless brunch deal and the service was fantastic. My husband also loved his burger and my friend loved his meal as well. New regular spot.”
“We ate outside ahead of a ballgame, perfect day weather-wise and our meal and service continued the trend. I started with the delicious purple line martini-surprising flavor. Another guest enjoyed the margherita flat bread and my husband consumed the Reuben sandwich-which has now claimed the top seat in his quest to find the world's best Reuben! We will make a point of returning.”
