Freaking best biscuits ever everywhere: great huh, salate seasonal rotations. big weeping to fair trips. I brought family from the city here and everyone loves it

They serve delicious roasted chicken options, both gluten-full and gluten-free. I highly recommend trying their truffle dishes, they are the best in the city. The restaurant includes a mandatory service fee, which gives them the opportunity to provide excellent service. I love that!

Sadly, that was almost the only thing I could eat. Half the brunch menu was sandwiches, and they didn’t offer a gluten free bread option. Seemed silly to not include that at a place that had gf fried chicken!Only other downsides was it was a little pricier and service was a tad slow but it was still good!

I typically get their quinoa and avocado salad along with the vegan chicken strips. Both are incredibly flavorful and delicious. Plus, the staff is fantastic!

The food is fantastic — highly recommend the Crunch Salad with their incredible fried chicken, the biscuits with chile-maple butter, the rotating desserts (banana bread pudding! and all delicious. And even as they made such good chicken, their Diner Burger is fabulous. Loaded mash potatoes are great, though note the tater tots can be a little salty for my taste. For Dine In, the drinks are really great and the service is gre … – show

Highly recommend — I am a fried chicken and biscuit pro from New Orleans. Mac Cheese is also incredible.

A couple cocktails, a salad, two chicken dinners and one dessert came out to $96. We found the chicken to be over-breaded to the point it was difficult to bite into. At almost $20 a “dinner”, it should include sides but doesn’t, so we shared a salad and that ended up being the highlight of our meal. Dorthy’s downstairs was cozy but felt a bit too themey.

I have tried everything on the menu during multiple visits and have not been disappointed with a single dish. I highly recommend trying the Hot Child in the City cocktail, as well as their non-alcoholic drinks such as Purple Rain and the Renter with a shot of vodka added. The linguine and clams dish is the best in the city, and the octopus salad and tomahawk are must-try items. Be sure to order a side of green bean casserole and grilled potato salad with your meal. The chips and dip, chicken nuggets, lamb tartare, and loaded baked potato gnocchi are also delicious options. I did not try the desserts as I prefer the cocktails, but others at my table raved about them. Overall, I recommend trying a bit of everything on the menu.

The "Childhood in New England" dessert was truly something unique and delightful. The service and hospitality were outstanding, and the Monday "artist" industry night was a fantastic and valuable experience. This place definitely deserves a spot at the top of your list for hot spots in Chicago!

Amazing staff. Amazing drinks. This is officially my new neighborhood place to hang out. The chocolate tart is beyond good and the “deconstructed” fajita was pretty impressive. I could go on and on.
