My only complaint is the noise level. It was incredibly loud, even when the restaurant wasn't very busy. At times, we struggled to hear our server, who was excellent by the way.

The restaurant is situated in what feels like a hidden, secret corner of Avondale, tucked into an unassuming business corridor along the Chicago River. Upon entering, natural light streams through expansive south-facing windows, illuminating the sophisticated main dining room and highlighting the contrast between the thoughtfully placed greenery and the dining room’s muted color palette. These elements amplify the fresh, quality ingredients that make up every dish, pastry, and beverage that I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. Some personal favorites of mine are the Monkey Bread, rotating danishes (yes, they’ve all been fantastic), the Eden Breakfast Sandwich, and the Steak Eggs. As great as the ambiance and food are, my family's experiences at Eden — from at least four visits in the last 2-3 months — would not have been as memorable without the attentive service by our now-preferred server, Saydees. She is super knowledgeable about the entire menu, so much so that, each time she has served our table, we learn something new and are encouraged to try new things. She is particularly passionate about the speciality lattes and pastries, and it shows when she gets into the nuances of each of option and her talks about her own experiences with them. On our most recent visit to Eden (February 15), she astonished our table by recalling the exact latte my brother had ordered on January 13th — the Shaken Banana Bread Latter — and thoughtfully used that detail to guide her recommendations for something new. Considering the countless tables and orders she’s managed in the interim, her recall more than a month later was genuinely impressive and made the experience feel uniquely personal. This level of hospitality alone gives us every reason to keep coming back to Eden. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Brunch

The burger was truly impressive, let in your mouth beef. James our server was perfect in walking us through the menu, and the rest of the staff was very attentive. Chef Devon came out to meet everyone of his guests and asked for feedback. This was a surprise and we will be back. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+
