[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute brunch spot! The location we visited is inside the Aloft Hotel, which makes it super convenient if you're staying there (great idea on their part).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have a cute pastry and coffee bar, the ham and cheese croissant looked amazing. I also learned they have three locations around town. The brunch menu has something for everyone, from healthy options like superfood oatmeal to heartier dishes like chimichurri steak and eggs. I ordered the egg white pesto wrap, and it was exactly what I was looking for healthy, filling, and packed with flavor from the pesto and tomatoes. A special shoutout to our server, Maddie, who was amazing and made our brunch even better. And happy birthday to my Leo sister! read more

nestled at the bottom of aloft hotel, beatrix serves up great breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cafe fare! they have lots of seating and seem to be always busy -- weekends can be hours of waiting! we grabbed an oat latte from the cafe bar alongside the lil breakfast sandwich and lil breakfast burrito. the latte is great, their beans are more smokey and roasted than others. the breakfast burrito was just ok, we liked the sandwich a lot better read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Saturday brunch here is packed. It was super loud, but I liked all the plants hanging from the ceiling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 7/10. Service was fine. Nothing standout, but I appreciated our server warning us the café was backed up on drinks. Both the food and drinks took a while to come out. 7/10. The Iced Banana Joe (1/10) was way too bitter for me and needed a lot more sweetness (I think it's made of cold brew). I couldn't even finish it. The Iced Dulce de Leche Latte (4/10) had a unique flavor, but it just wasn't my type of latte. The Bacon, Egg & Cheddar Sandwich (7/10) was solid, just nothing memorable. The Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich (7/10) had great flavor, but the chicken was soggy. The fries were surprisingly good, especially since I'm usually not a fries person. The Golden Hash Brown (4/10) was also disappointing. It was bland, didn't have much of a crispy crust, and completely fell apart after the first few bites. Overall, I'd still come back... just for the avocado toast. read more

Ordered Door Dash from Beatrix, and I was obsessed with this salad. It was such a unique combination of snap peas, asparagus, green apple, and avocado, topped with pistachios, coconut, and crispy quinoa, all tossed in a tangy green curry dressing!! The grilled chicken was perfect with it, and I loved the crispy crunchy fries! read more

This breakfast was so good! I had the lavender honey latte and it was amazing. The avocado toast was delicious. The pancakes were amazing... I could go on. Great service and great food. The restaurant itself was not very stroller friendly. I wish a staff member would have just told us to go through the hotel next door with the stroller, but we didn't realize it connected until we struggled our way through. One guy looked at my husband and literally said "good luck" without budging. (This was just a customer not a staff member) but it was so wild to see that kind of interaction!! Anyway, just some extra compassion to the parents who want to enjoy a nice breakfast would go a long way, but food wise we would recommend and would go back. read more

Walked past window signage about happy hour, now candidly I had always viewed Beatrix as a breakfast/brunch spot (which they are), but I was craving a burger and was about to go elsewhere for it but curiousity got me! $12 for a burger with fries in River North almost sounds too good to be real, but I'm happy to report it's a real thing! Monday-Friday 4p-6p in the bar. Now the big secret is out: Go! My waitress was Maddie, she was a sweetheart and quite bubbly, she kept checking to see if I needed anything else, and above all asked about allergies at the onset. Thank you!!!! The vibe was cozy, casual and modern. Really busy and now I understand why:) The burger was cooked perfectly, garnished with grilled onions, shredded lettuce and aoli. The fries were tasty and thankfully not salty. Food took a while to come out but arrived fresh so the cuppuccino was a nice hold-over. Beatrix is also part of LettuceEats group so xou can get points or pay tabs with points if you are part of their rewards program. I'm definitely coming back! Great experience all in all, the only area for improvement is the hostess who ignored me standing there until I interrupted her scrolling her phone then eventually just sat myself down and borrowed a menu from the table next to me. read more

My friends and I made a quick stop into Beatrix for some drinks and apps. Since the menu isn't super broad, we decided to stick with appetizers and they definitely did the job. The spicy tuna crispy rice was the star of the show. It was incredibly fresh with the perfect crunch. The whipped feta was also a surprising favorite, especially with the honey on top which added a really nice touch. The crackers it was served with wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was still really delicious overall. Great spot if you're looking to grab a few drinks and share some tasty apps. read more

While staying in town nearby I came here for breakfast... I chose this place because the reviews I saw were all great and once I got there, I understood why! Service was very helpful, friendly, a nice! The menu for breakfast is very good and they have a very popular and amazing coffee bar with lots of pastry options too. I chose their Bacon, Egg, & Cheddar Sandwich and asked for hash browns with it and for those to be extra crispy. Starting with their regular coffee - it was great! Then the food came out relatively quickly and looked amazing! The egg was PERFECTLY (ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY!) cooked! The sandwich came together and tasted amazing... I especially loved the bites of freshly sliced jalapeño and the arugula in the sandwich too!! The has browns were made the way I asked and tasted sooo good! Overall, I would definitely recommend giving them a try and I can see why the reviews were so good! My visit was very nice. read more

I've enjoyed Beatrix at their west loop location. I've eaten there a couple of times. While the service here was satisfactory, the food didn't quite measure up. I ordered the curry and it came with steamed rice. The curry was fine, but my rice was really dry and crunchy. It kept getting stuck in my teeth. It was clear that I got the last remnants of the day, since our reservation was the last before close. It wouldn't keep me from coming back, but had I known the rice wasn't fresh, I'd have preferred to be steered in a different direction. I could have gladly ordered something else Ambiance is nice and if you have a car, there's street parking and a few parking garages nearby. There wasn't valet however. It was listed on yelp as having valet, but that might need to be updated. We had someone in our party who was disabled and I planned on the convenience of valet.

Forget the 'scene' and come for the flavor, because this is the sophisticated Chicago happy hour you've been looking for. I'm starting things off with this Moscow Mule--they use fresh juiced ginger and Sunny Vodka, so it's incredibly crisp and lacks that artificial sweetness we're all trying to avoid. Then you have to order these Kennebec fries; they're tossed with flash-fried lemon slices and chilis, giving you this elevated, salty-zesty bite that pairs perfectly with a glass of Italian Prosecco. Throw in the Hot Honey Brussels with that peanut crunch and the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, and you've got a spread that actually respects your palate and your need for a conversation. It's the ultimate River North vibe for anyone who wants high-end taste without the high-volume headache. MOSCOW MULE $8 sunny vodka, fresh juiced ginger, lime, soda PROSECCO $7 caposaldo, italy, nv HOT HONEY BRUSSELS SPROUTS $13.95 pickled fresno, peanut KENNEBEC FRIES $9.95 crispy lemons & chilis SPICY TUNA CRISPY RICE* $17.95 sriracha aioli, citrus ponzu read more

Beatrix has multiple locations in the city. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here for a work dinner, and we had a private room on the side, which was actually really nice because it was light and open feeling (versus many of the darker, smaller private spaces I've been in work work events).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks: - Pineapple jalapeno margarita: well balanced, good kick, nice presentation Food: - Whipped feta: with black truffle honey and seeded crackers - a great starter with lots of textures and flavors - Straight A salad: all the A letter words - arugula, avocado, Asian pear, asiago, almond - a good combination, not overly dressed - Spicy rigatoni alla vodka: actually fairly spicy, which made it a more interesting dish - Faroe Islands salmon: with honey mustard glaze, warm farro salad, dill yogurt - Chicken Terri D: parmesan crusted chicken breast filets with white wine, roasted asparagus, lemon - Tall, Dark & Handsome Chocolate Cake: chocolate cake and cheesecake in one To be honest, I wasn't expecting much since they have multiple locations, and it was a larger group dinner, but the food was solid, and the busy server kept up with our large group very graciously.

Beatrix was not on my radar, but it was recommended to us by Aloft staff as a really popular weekend brunch spot. Plus, they hooked us up with several vouchers (which we were able to combine)! Definitely made it easy for us since we didn't need to go far to eat on a Sunday! Anyone that knows me and brunch knows I go straight for any scrambled eggs dish. Went with the Migas Egg Scramble, which was scrambled eggs cooked with shishito pepper, pico de gallo, and pepper jack cheese, and came with a side of tortilla chips with guacamole and spicy tomato salsa. I don't really need to describe it further because it's really hard to mess that up. Also ordered a side of hash browns...after all, brunch! Service was fine, no complaints from me. I can see why Beatrix is such a popular brunch spot. Really good food here and great vibes as well! read more

They have a good selection of cocktails and juice to accommodate their brunch offerings. I opted for the lemon pancakes and a side of chicken sausage.

Came here with the family. Nice location in River North. Used a parking garage a block over for $13 on SpotHero :-) Had the Prime Burger with substitute Cesar salad instead of the fries. Medium was cooked as medium. You can also ask for fried onions. Daughter liked the Kebab. The soft drink glasses are kinda small, so be prepared for refills, which did they great with. Ice tea was brewed. A tad on the pricy side but this is River North. They also automatically add 3.5% restaurant charge to the bill that you have to ask to get removed. Assume to recoup credit card fees. :-) Remember to use your Lettuce reward number for their many restaurants in the Chicago area! read more

We had dinner at the bar this past weekend. We had a reservation but the OpenTable App went down. We were told by the hostess to dine in the bar at the open table in view from her area. We sat at that open table and the server came over and questioned why we were there. When I told her the hostess told us to sit there, she matched over and had words with the hostess. The hostess came over and said many people are waiting for the table and moved us to the actual bar. The server was not seen again. The bartender said she had asked to get cut for the night. There were no guests waiting and the table sat empty and in view of the hostess, for the entire time we were there. The bartender said he would service the tables if the waitress had left. Overall, the initial service was less than gracious. Our bartender Matt was incredibly polite and was so warm and welcoming. He made suggestions and accommodated special requests easily. The dinner menu is not extensive but diverse enough to please everyone. We all loved our meals. The room is large but feels cozy. Warm lighting and natural colors create and very comfortable space. I usually stop into Beatrix for breakfast which is great. This was my first time having dinner here. Both were delicious. I know the problem with OpenTable created a very hectic situation, but the professionalism and sense of hospitality was amiss. read more

Honestly shoutout to Beatrix! We were looking for a good brunch option and we managed to snag a last minute reservation to this place and I have no idea how. We still had to wait probably about 15-20 minutes to be seated but thats way shorter than most places trying to get brunch on a Saturday morning. I got their dulce de leche latte, and while it was good, it didn't really have a dulce de leche flavor. To eat, I got the breakfast sandwich with hashbrowns. The sandwich was delicious and the hashbrowns are great. Overall, we were super impressed with the food, and had a great meal.

(W)ow - The interior decor is not innately "wow-ing" but they're going for the local, classic, home-grown feeling. The server was attentive and had great recommendations. (A)mbiance - So many families show up for brunch. (M)enu - The server recommended the ham and cheese croissant and enchiladas. Both delicious! The ham and cheese croissant featured melted cheese between multiple layers of ham, and a perfectly toasted buttery croissant. Super filling and delicious reheated as well. We hit our daily protein goal with the savory and surprisingly spicy chicken enchiladas. Definitely want to try the famous lemon pancakes next time! read more

We ordered a flight of whiskey sours, which contained whiskeys from Japan, Vietnam, and Wisconsin. I also was able to order an amaretto sour, which they made with freshly hand beaten egg whites, which was a nice cherry on the top. As far as the whiskey flights go, I think the best one was the Vietnam flight because it had a slightly lemongrass twang and was a little bit lighter than the other two. The heaviest one was the Wisconsin which came with a little bit of a bite at the end, but it still wasn't bad if you're trying to blackout on a $15 budget. I would definitely come back with a larger group this seems like a great place, but is a little bit loud- so if you be prepared to yell or wear earplugs. The bathroom took my a second to find, which should have been intuitive considering it was on the opposite end of where you come in. I blame the lighting as things are already pretty hard to find in the dark, but eventually I made it there-Pat myself on the back.

Taylor for a lower price. Sold! I made a reservation and stopped in that week (if not that very day). The Old Fashioned was fantastic! It had strong whiskey notes without hitting you with a wall of spirit the way a Manhattan, for example, does. The other additions of bitters and syrup did a perfect job rounding the cocktail out, adding sweet and savory notes. As much as I love variety, I loved it so much, I ordered two! I can't lie and say this wasn't at least in part due to the reduced price, that notwithstanding, me ordering two of the same is some of the highest, non-verbal praise one could get from me. For a main, I had the opportunity to try the burger, a special only available 5:00 - 6:30, and mind you I eked in by the skin of my teeth. Before I attempt to break this down, though, I need to take a slight tangent: Do any of you remember the quote from The Menu where Anya Taylor-Joy says: "A real cheeseburger. Not some fancy, deconstructed, affluent b***s***, a *real* cheeseburger."? I am pleased to report the burger here was somewhere between Chef Slowik's "very traditional cheeseburger" and the one Taylor Joy describes! In other words, just fancy enough to feel like I am getting a unique, creative, well thought out dish, but without all the pomp and circumstance! There's just one little problem: as soon as I bit into it, the juices erupting from within soaked the bottom bun, and turned it into a fork and knife affair with an unseen level of precision and speed. Very regrettably, this was the burger's undoing. That first, heavenly bite that had angels singing showed what the burger was really made of (and I mean this figuratively and literally). The beef was of the highest quality, well-seasoned, cooked medium and juicy, with a perfect sear that would have Louis Camille Maillard crying tears of joy. Two types of cheese (one being crisp and airy, the other thoroughly gooey and savory), the perfect amount of bacon, moisture and flavor from a tempura tomato, and divine sauces! One of them was a little sweet, which elevated the flavor like no one's business. Together, all these flavors were a symphony that could give Beethoven a run for his money. However, that unfortunate fact that the thing fell apart so quickly meant that symphony was limited to one bite, the rest being encountered piecemeal. I would rather skip fries than skip dessert (which I did), and ordered the Mango cheesecake. Such velvety perfection! Neither the sweetness nor the mango notes were overpowering, and while it didn't have the crust of a traditional cheesecake, the more gentle variant here absolutely works. I also appreciated the tart sorbet to offer some contrast in flavor, temperature, and texture. Now, let me talk about the service. Given that the restaurant was at capacity, the bar service and speed to get my items was reasonable. Could it hypothetically have been just a touch faster/more attentive? Yes, but in practice, when you have a full house, this is as good as it can get before robots take over. Finally, there is the matter of prices. There is no doubt in my mind that the quality is up there, at the same time, the reason I skipped the side of fries was it would have set me back $11. I suppose the real question is whether or not the quality equals the price, and after some reflection, I think the answer is yes, but one must be prepared for the sticker shock ahead of time. That said, the final verdict: The Franklin Room absolutely delivers on an all-around fantastic meal. I think whatever you order will be in the 90th percentile, at worst! However, this comes at a cost. Therefore, I would love to return to the Franklin Room, but it would likely be more a very occasional treat than a place where I'd be a regular.

I want to preface my review with the positives, Londyn was our server & was truly so kind, thorough, and friendly. The restaurant itself is clean & all tables have clear views of the TVs on game days. Now for the room for improvement- the food was very underwhelming. Being from the Chicago area previously, I regularly advocate for the Chicago food scene, and this unfortunately did not meet those standards. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, buffalo cauliflower, wings, and sesame ginger salad: -Brussel sprouts: tasted like they weren't seasoned just air fried and drenched in balsamic dressing -Buffalo cauliflower: soggy, unseasoned, runny buffalo sauce -Wings: PERFECTLY CRISPY, but no flavor (we ordered lemon pepper & buffalo) -Sesame ginger salad: sloppy mix of vegetables tossed in an overly sweet sauce with no sesame or ginger flavor in sight If you're not going to eat, this is probably a great spot, but from a food standpoint, there is room for improvement.

Made last minute reservations for brunch next day after the infamous architecture tour. It was quiet as we've put in an early morning. All the more better to savor all intricate dishes from start to finish. Like the name, The Purple Pig, their specialty is pork dishes so majority of our orders were this. Daily special of the bone marrow bacon jam toast - glazed, slippery off the bone, savory and sweet. Always love a good bone marrow dish to get the sweetness off it. This was so good that there were bits of the marrow and jam left stuck to the bone, I took a piece of the toast and scooped the bone dry. Nothing left for anyone to attack this. Non pork dishes were the Mushroom 3 ways and Spanish octopus. Mushroom dish was savory with all the coated sauces elevating this. Spanish octopus was kicked lightly and easily can bite in to enjoy the tender and charred portions. But the award went to my main course - the braised pork shoulder with saffron, apricots and Swiss chard. Aside from the rippable pork meat when dining on it, the sauces fused together on this dish elevated it and had everyone coming back for more. I needed an official Chicago culinary experience and found it at The Purple Pig without a doubt.

It was moist, flavorful, and served with absolutely incredible butter. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and one of the best I've ever had as well. Even the sweet tea was perfect: actually sweet without being overpowering or having that bitter, earthy aftertaste that some sweet teas have. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I came back the next night and tried the brisket. It was sooooo good too. It was tender, smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor. At that point I knew the first meal wasn't a fluke. It's not inexpensive, but the portions are generous, and I felt the quality more than justified the price. I was there by myself because I'm traveling for work and actually enjoyed the communal tables. They made the atmosphere feel welcoming and a little less lonely than sitting by myself. The staff was excellent, too. The gentleman with the glasses at the meat counter was friendly, funny, and made the experience even more enjoyable. He even threw in a complimentary rib, which was such a nice surprise and a great example of the hospitality here. One thing to know before you go: the line can get long, but don't let that scare you away, it moves efficiently, and the food is absolutely worth the wait. Green Street Smoked Meats lived up to every bit of the hype.

All of the meats could've used a little more seasoning, and I wish they came out hotter. The spicy BBQ sauce and golden sauce were both delicious though. The Elote Style Corn (8/10) was my favorite side. Super creamy with plenty of parmesan. The Broccoli Salad (7/10) had great crunch from the pumpkin seeds and sweetness from the raisins, though I wish the seeds were toasted. The Baked Beans (6.5/10) had pork belly and onions mixed in, but otherwise tasted like a solid, classic baked bean. The vibes felt like a true Texas BBQ joint. You line up, order at the counter, watch them slice the meat in front of you, then grab a table cafeteria-style. The industrial space and dim lighting fit the atmosphere well. 7/10.

This place is just kind of frustrating. I've been here several times and every time there's something going on. Yesterday I had an 11:30 reservation with my girlfriend and we showed up dead on time and she checked us in. 10 minutes later we were still standing there with no one coming by and plenty of open tables in the outside area we requested. I went back to the host stand and they told me I did not have a reservation, there was no reservation for Ken. She began to type my name into the system and hey, guess what? There was a reservation for Ken. It turns out they had seated someone else at our table who had come in after, it took them another 10 minutes to seat us, and then another 10 minutes to get noticed by our waitress (who was actually really great) who came by asking "has anyone been by yet?" no, no they hadn't. From there on out the service was prompt and the food was good but it was frustrating to have an 11:30 reservation and not be seated till 12 when there was open tables and I had a call at 12:30 I had to leave for. Another time I went for dinner with my dad and sister and the service was pretty spotty. My sister ordered a juice which we saw sitting on a counter for 15-20 minutes before it was brought. I had ordered the salmon which was absolutely undercooked and raw. When I told the waitress she told me that that's how they cook the salmon... she said they'd make another one cooked more to normal tastes (weird that not raw is an additional step but alright). Anyway, it never came. 30 minutes passed, my family finished their meals, and I was still waiting. I alerted her again and she was apologetic (not her fault) and it showed up a few minutes later. It was alright, the greens were absolutely the parts of the vegetables that you can't do anything with in other dishes. They took the salmon off the bill. This place is a block from me and cute and should be one of my go to spots, but it just can't be given the issues they constantly seem to experience. Staff seems overwhelmed and the management systems are lacking. read more

Beatrix River North was a highlight while visiting Chicago. 3 location in Chicago?! It must be good. When we arrived on a busy Saturday morning, we were warmly greeted and quickly sat by Cole. Cole was awesome and made us immediately feel like we were at home. He was friendly and happy to chat with us about events happening in Chicago. Our server, Brady, was equally as pleasant. Not only was he happy and energetic, he was attentive and extremely helpful when answering my questions. Steven, the General Manager, was kind enough to drop by and introduce himself and welcome us. Even during a busy brunch morning, Steven was calm and collected. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Sharlene, but I can already assume she is an amazing business owner. I haven't even gotten to the food yet!!! We enjoyed their brunch menu. For drinks, we enjoyed their Mexican iced Coffee and the Mango, Orange, and Pineapple nectar, both fantastic and memorable. We were graciously offered the Light & Fluffy Pancakes to begin our brunch feast, these were bomb.com... next up, the Spicy Chicken Tinga and Cauliflower Grits and Eggs. Good lord almighty hold the phone... the Spicy Chicken Tinga was recommended by Brady, and yes sir, it delivered the satisfaction that one craves when pondering their brunch. Reminding me of home in San Diego, this dish was comforting, I would get it again, every time. My girlfriend devoured the Cauliflower Grits and Eggs. A fantastic meatless brunch option. We also loved the Rainbow Toast. A must try if you prefer to top your Toast with fresh fruits! Needless to say, this was the perfect way to cap our first trip to Chicago, can't wait to return again!!!! Cheers to Beatrix. read more

I felt like I had to open a yelp account after my experience at Beatrix! I went there with a friend when it was packed for Restaurant Week and received absolutely excellent service from the bartender, Jake. He started my friend and I off with two cocktails. My friend loves old fashioneds and he swore he could make the best one she'd ever tasted. He succeeded! She loved it and made me swear to mention it in my review. My drink was the blueberry tom collins, which was also great, very fresh and light. Jake walked us through the Restaurant Week menu and helped us pick out what to get for each course. All of his selections were amazing! We both started with the crispy kale salad, I got the neatloaf and she got the pot roast for a main course. That neatloaf.. it was like thanksgiving, but better, on a plate. The pot roast was really rich and delicious, and the squash in the dish was a nice compliment. But after all that, it was the caramel pie, which we were both really hesitant to get, that made the meal. He sold us after saying it was named best dessert in Chicago in 2014. I certainly haven't tasted any better ones! Even though it was really rich (and I was already pretty full) I just couldn't stop eating it. Every bite was amazing, both the crust and the filling were spectacular. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! So glad I took a chance with them for Restaurant Week :) read more

My friends and I went to Beatrix right when it opened and had an awesome time. The food was great. We each got something different. The Caesar salad was one of my favorites. It was very refreshing, with the perfect amount of dressing and had a great hint of lime to it. I had the pasta dish as my entree. It was interesting because it came with a poached egg inside of it. I loved it and thought it was filling and the truffle oil was delicious. My friend got the steak and really enjoyed it. It was cooked wonderfully and had an Asian twist that made it different. My other friend got the pork shoulder. I usually would never consider getting pork but after trying a bite of hers, I would definitely get it! It was tender and came with an awesome side; whipped mashed potatoes. For desert there were some interesting selections.We shared the cute banana split. I wouldn't have chosen this, but my friends did and I am so happy they did. It was a very interesting twist on a classic-- made with rosemary, which I had never tried in a dessert before. The atmosphere was a more muted kind of trendy, which I loved and our server Chris was friendly. I thought the portion sizes were just perfect and in keeping with the healthful aim of the menu. I left feeling satisfied and wanting to try more of their dishes. Can't wait to go back! read more

My cousin who lives in Chicago made us brunch reservations here during our long weekend trip because it is one of her favorite spots.

They sell a lot of "healthier, lighter" brunch options, which is cool, but I didn't see anything extra special or unique on the menu. One drink which I've never seen before which is kinda crazy is the bulletproof coffee- made with butter.... I was skeptical that it was actually better than regular coffee at $9 per cup, and I honestly couldn't taste a difference, but hey maybe you coffee connoisseurs out there will. I chose the Caesar salad for my meal, and others in the group chose the veggie omelet and the pancakes. All were good, but nothing too special in my opinion. If you're a Chicago local, I would recommend checking this place out! If you're traveling for a short time though, I would try one of the most decadent dining options Chicago has to offer. Because it's just not right to eat "healthy" food when you're on vacation :) read more

Went here for dinner on Friday with my wife (8/2/13). First, the atmosphere alone is probably enough of a reason to stop by and give it a try. Huge space, very unique decor. I really enjoyed the ambiance. The food: -Chocolate chili glazed salmon was amazing. Its a flavor combo I would have never thought would go together... but holy cow, was it good. -Chimichurri Skirt Steak - Without being a prisoner of the moment, it was honestly among the best I've ever had. -Tsukune (chicken meatballs) - was recommended to me by the waiter and I went with it despite my hesitation due to meatballs typically being cooked a little too dry. These however were cooked to perfection. They were Juicy and flavorful. -We had to take off before dessert unfortunately (sorry no suggestions there). Staff: Very polite, understood the dishes and what went into them (which was a huge help considering my wife's dietary restriction), overall top rate crew. Anyway, I'm not a huge restaurant reviewer, but I truly did enjoy this experience. I will definitely go back, as well as suggest without hesitation to my "foodie" friends. read more

This was my first time in Beatrix, Chicago. I've loved welcoming people, the atmosphere and food. Especially food, this is the perfect place for brunch. The Wonderful Egg White Omelet was the best. Also, I recommend the Blue Boost and the Mango Nectar, if you are into the freshly squeezed juices. However, personnel working were terrible. We had to ask 4 times for a bread to different servers. They also chat during working a lot, which makes a bad impression for the general quality. They are somewhat rude in a way that, the perfect brunch is ruined in a bad way. Furthermore, while waiting for our meal with my friend, I had to have a private conversation with my boss so I went to the bar. The bar server insistedly try to tell me something, while I was talking, interrupting me. This act of him meant like "what are you doing seating in the bar, not ordering anything" attitude sucked. I told his expression was wrong, but this was a constructive comment for the future possible customers. And he just acted like nothing happened. read more

We wanted a pre-dinner drink, and Beatrix happened to be the closest place. So we stopped in and were blown away by the service. Our server was genuinely interested in helping us choose the right drinks and took his time to explain the ingredients and their stories. Since all the cocktails looked delicious, I asked my friend to order for me as I went to "powder my nose." He chose a fresh juice blend with acai and pomegranate mixed with vodka. When I returned, the server came by and explained that with the vodka, the blue boost (blueberry, white grape, basil) would pair much better, so he took the liberty to switch it out, and he was right. Light, refreshing, and healthy as you can get with alcohol. They also offer "Bullet Proof Coffee" which is advertised as a muscle enhancing, fat burning coffee with none of the side effects of regular coffee. For $8.95 a cup, it's pretty pricey, but does have a buttery smooth finish. While I'm not sure if I have any more muscles or less fat after that, it was a delicious treat. read more

Stopped in for happy hour at Beatrix in Chicago and unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to expectations. The space itself is nice warm lighting, modern decor, and a decent vibe for a post-work drink or bite. I ordered the burger, which looked promising but ended up overcooked and dry. The toppings didn't do much to save it, and the bun was just okay. The fries were a bigger letdown under-seasoned and lacking any real flavor or crispness. They looked great on the plate but didn't deliver on taste. Cocktails were fine, and the drink presentation was nice, but the food just didn't hit the mark, especially at happy hour when you're hoping for a good value and quality combo. The service was polite, though a bit slow even with the place not being very busy. Overall, Beatrix has a nice atmosphere, but based on this visit, I wouldn't come back specifically for the happy hour food. There are better burger-and-fries options in the city at similar price points. read more

I am updating my previous review. Beatrix was nice enough to send me a $25 voucher to go back after my initial experience, so I went back for dinner. We had to wait at the bar for a table, and the bartender was very gracious and friendly. Our drinks were also top notch. Here's what we had. Food: split the kennebec fries, turkey neatloaf and cookie for dessert. Drinks: We tried the basil seed mule and the pineapple habanero margatirta. We both really liked the mule and ended up ordering it for seconds. The kennebec fries are out of this world. They're mixed with veggies and lemons and they're absolutely delicious. I could eat these every day of the week. We weren't super hungry so we ended up splitting the neatloaf and it was perfect for sharing. They even took the time to split it on two plates since they knew we were sharing. All in all, I really enjoyed the food this time read more

Stopped by Beatrix for brunch while in River North and overall had a really good experience. The space is bright and welcoming, with a clean, modern vibe that makes it great for casual meals or catching up with friends. I had the Prime Burger with a Caesar salad instead of fries--cooked just right and flavorful. My daughter enjoyed the kebab, and we also appreciated that the iced tea was brewed and the staff stayed on top of refills. That said, service was a little uneven. Friendly, but we did wait longer than expected to place our drink order, and the table wasn't checked on much after food arrived. Also, the 3.5% restaurant fee automatically added to the bill is something to be aware of--it can be removed, but only if you ask. Still, the food and ambiance make this a spot I'd return to. Just a few small tweaks could take it to a full five-star experience. read more

Went to Beatrix for Sunday brunch. First of all, one of my all time pet peeves is when a table is seated after me and they are served before I am, which is what happened here. Ordered the eggs any way with salmon and it was good. Small portions. Didn't care for the bread used for toast as it was way too many seeds for me. Only other bread option is gluten free. My partner got the quinoa with poached eggs and he said it was good. We had to ask our server twice to bring us the muffin we ordered. They do serve great coffee, flavorful and nice and hot! Our server was very friendly but it seems she had too many tables and wasn't that attentive. I was still hungry when I left so I am not in any rush to go back. read more

Man, Beatrix in River North seriously leveled up my brunch game. I grabbed their lemon pancakes, a spicy chicken tinga breakfast taco, plus a honey‑cinnamon latte. The place has those floor‑to‑ceiling windows and an airy, chill Californian‑style vibe that's perfect for sippin' coffee and watching River North roll by. The pancakes were wild--like cake batter but somehow still brunchy--and that taco had just enough heat without making me sweat. Staff checked in just right--not too stiff, not MIA, good mid‑west hospitality. Cozy yet cool spot that's low‑key but never basic--definitely my new go‑to for weekend hangs. read more

Don't let the crowds scare you off! This place absolutely lives up to the hype. **The food was fantastic** - fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. But what truly impressed me was **the service.** Despite the restaurant being *jam-packed* and buzzing with energy, our food arrived incredibly quickly, and the staff remained efficient, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. It's seriously impressive how they maintain such high quality and speed when they're that busy. Highly recommend - just be prepared for a lively atmosphere! **5 stars for nailing both the food and the service under pressure.** read more

I had been hesitant to try Beatrix, assuming it was just another overpriced, basic brunch spot, but I'm glad I was wrong. We visited on a late Saturday afternoon, and the experience was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the chilaquiles, which were absolutely delicious, and my boyfriend enjoyed the burger. I also tried the pineapple habanero margarita, which had a great balance of sweetness and a smoky kick--definitely a standout drink. Our server was so friendly and made the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great spot, and I'm glad I gave it a try! read more

Beatrix opened on the same block as my office, and I'm glad they did. I've been there a few times and have had a chance to try a lot on their menu. The food is healthy for the most part and very clean. The cocktails are delicious, and they also do infused waters that you can add a shot to, which I love. Lunch menu is great, a little pricey though. Most who know me know that I am NOT a salad girl, but I dream about the whole grain and arugula salad at night. Also I'm dying to try some stuff from their coffee/espresso bar. I will make a point to do so soon! read more

Been here a few times. Once was for brunch and it was a 5 star experience. Their bulliet proof coffee was a 10 out of 10. However, last time I was here it was an evening and there was one solo bartender who either was a barback or bartender in training without a trainer. I get a bad taste in my mouth when I get ignored after sitting there for a while and also when I get called "boss" by people who are simply taking my order. Two stars removed because of that one employee, but I will be back at some point and will update my review based on service. read more

Providing a quick update as the visit ended with a conversation with the manager on-shift at the conclusion of the meal and a followup 1 day after by the general manager for the property. Each was receptive to candid feedback and each has utilized the tools at their disposal to try to rectify the situation. Resolution is still a work in progress. Will report later as our hope is for this to have been an anomaly on an off day. Thanks to these managers for being accountable and looking to continuously improve. read more

Definitely happy with our visit! I am a restaurant owner--so I DEFINITELY "judge" when I go out to eat! Our server (Quinn) did everything right! We also met the manager (Kendall), who was also a credit to her business. The owners of this restaurant should be VERY happy with these employees Now on to the food: delicious! We shared a really unique chicken dish (can't remember the name!) but my favorite was the amazing Brussels sprout appetizer! Can't wait to return to Chicago AND BEATRIX!! read more

A beautiful spot for lunch! Brought my laptop here before a lunch meeting and enjoyed coffee and free wifi while preparing for my meeting. Lunch was fantastic - I had the potato salad deviled eggs & Green Club with jicama stick. My guest had the gazpacho. Everything from the service, food and ambiance was spot on. I look forward to bringing my girlfriends here for cocktails & apps. Their pastries looked absolutely amazing too. read more

The burrito was hefty in size, and I really liked how soft the eggs were. I felt like it could have had more interesting flavors and textures, but it was solid as is. The grains bowl was also delicious. They advertise it as a salad, but it's a lot more hearty. I liked the citrus flavors in it, and the fruit added a nice bit of freshness.

Was better with my lemon aioli that I didn't need for the fries. Green goddess salad was apparently wonderful though. Sadly, after someone dropped the food off, sever didn't come back to check on us or our food, and when our (expected) 4th person arrived, took 7 minutes before we could even find her & wave her down to get the order taken so she had to sit there watching us eat.
