Healthy food in a beautiful setting. Love the decor and ambiance here. Had a salad for my entree and enjoyed it.

Literally anytime I have friends or family visit in Chicago, I always take them to Beatrix. Good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and has a great rotating/seasonal menu. I recommend trying their housemade juices or the shakshouka for brunch - incredibly fresh & very filling. Pictured here is their chia cereal bowl - it's super super sweet, but a bit healthier if you wanna skip the pancake/french toast route. read more

Another great ladies brunch! I ordered an almond milk chai latte -- perfect, a side of rainbow toast -- a slice of sourdough with cream cheese and fruit spread and fresh fruit -- I loved this so much, and the steak chimichurri & eggs. The steak and breakfast potatoes were very good. I asked for the eggs over medium, and they were too runny, but fine. The service was excellent. There were 5 of us, and he split up our checks without any trouble. He also answered all of our questions (we had a lot) and helped is pick out another nearby brunch spot that we plan to hit up soon. I will definitely be back to try the juices and cocktails. Fresh squeezed blueberry juice mimosa? Yes, please. read more

We were in with a small group and food was ok but waitress was awful. She was confused by simple requests and flat out rude. When one of our guests asked, "How spicy is the "spicy" margarita? (a valid question as "spicy" is pretty subjective and can vary widely from place to place) - the waitress stared for a beat and said, "It's a SPICY margarita." The "dumb ass" was implied. Fine place to grab brunch but expensive for dinner and far from a fine dining experience. They should train their staff. read more

I came here after a pilates class with some girlfriends for brunch because they were really craving some freshly squeezed juice and something healthy. Two of my friends got the Power Greens juice, which has kale, romaine, celery, pineapple, and mint and I got the Blue Boost, which has blueberry juice, white grape, and basil. They seemed to really like the Power Greens juice, which I thought was just okay. It was a little bland and tasted kind of like grass, which makes sense considering what was in it. I thought my juice was a bit sweet and the blueberry juice overpowered all the other flavors. In hindsight, I realized that while I love blueberries, I don't really like blueberry juice, but I powered through it because it was $5.50 a glass! Next time, I will probably get the Sweet Valencia Orange juice because nothing beats some freshly squeezed OJ. For my main dish, I shared the Enlightened Caesar salad and Quinoa Cakes w/Poached Eggs with a friend. The salad was very fresh and healthy tasting, but I definitely liked the quinoa cakes more. The cakes were crispy, the eggs were poached perfection, and the tomato-basil sauce was the perfect complement to the dish! My other friends got the Prime Burger on whole grain toast and the Spicy Chicken Tinga, which they raved about. Overall, another great LEYE restaurant, especially if you're in the mood for something healthy! read more

Came in for the first time on Saturday and liked it so much came back on Monday. Really enjoyed the squash and apple soup. It was unusual for me as it was lighter and less heavy than other squash soups that I have had. Tried it both nights! Would also recommend the pot roast with spaghetti squash noodles. Squash was cooked perfectly and the dish is spiced nicely with a bit of heat that I really enjoyed. The waiter recommended a caramel pie for dessert that he indicated was an award winner in Chicago and I can see why. Just the right amount of sweet and a very light texture. Here in Chicago for a few more days so I might be back again! read more

The wife surprised me with a trip here. The dining room was really lively, I enjoyed the atmosphere. Since it was brunch we got some lattes. They have a few nice flavor combinations. Honey and cinnamon was one banana and dark chocolate was the other. They even put those designs in the foam I always see. As far as the food my wife got these light and fluffy pancakes. They were pretty amazing. Stuffed with ricotta cheese they were nothing like the dry bland pancakes I've gotten at some breakfast places. I ordered the chilaquile bar. I've never seen this before and I love chilaquiles. They give you a plate and you fill it up with these slightly soft tortilla chips in salsa and eggs with shredded chicken. Then you add guac Salas sour cream and cheese. Boom, best chilaquile I've had in a while. I kinda regret not getting the caramel pie but I might need to walk in a get a slice sometime. read more

Beatrix - Lattes - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really pleased with this one folks. Showed up 20 mins late to our dinner rez the night of the Blackhawks Stanley Cup parade, still sat down immediately. Didn't like our table so we asked for one closer to the window. "Whatever you like, as long as your happy." Was the response. Waiter super knowledgeable about menu. Drinks and apps came out suuuper fast. Main course came out a minute or two after we were done with apps. Got the prime burger and Kale salad. Shared both with girlfriend. With the two apps, this was the perfect meal size. Gave water bottle at table so we could refill ours as we pleased. I HATE when I'm at a restaurant and waiting for the server to come back so I can ask for water. This place eliminated that issue. Krispy kale salad could use slightly more kale imo. Figs and papaya were great additions to break up the natural tart flavor of the kale. The burger was solid. Added avocado to make it nice and rich. Cherry chia juice was interesting. I've never had chia seeds so I was caught off guard with the consistency. My lady's cocktails were on point though, apparently. Apple strudel for desert was really really good. I love apple things and this was a top tier apple thing. Would go again to try their brunch. read more

When traveling, I like to have a light but tasty breakfast with amazing coffee. I found Beatrix through my fellow Yelpers. Started with my morning run and stopped in after. Party of one, outside please (note I did get sat buy a hostess). After about ten minutes of no one greeting me, I went inside and sat at the bar. After another 5 minutes the bartender finally greets me and I tell him I sat outside for ten minutes without any service. Bartender: well you have to let a hostess know you're sitting out there. Me: Blank stare, customer next to me: or maybe the staff should check on the customer. Moving on, I ordered a Bulletproof coffee and egg white omelette. Bartender: sorry we are out of coconut oil for the bulletproof. So I go with the honey/cinnamon latte which was great. My breakfast came out fairly quick and I was happy. Simple, tasty and filling. Sometimes a hungry customer is not in the mood to argue about getting service. Minus one star for the rude bartender. read more

We got a table after a 30 minute wait which is decent for a Saturday! The food was decent, some dishes better than others. The eggs your way dish was basic, for example. It was the service that really killed it for me. Our table was given away, and we had to ask for silverware three times. Even after getting our food, there was still no silverware. We also didn't get refills of water until everything was gone. The hostess was not very accommodating either but it just might have been the busy atmosphere. read more

Beatrix never seems to disappoint! I love the atmosphere and aesthetic of the restaurant. The service is always so lovely! They have many different options for dietary restrictions and allergies needs but they also have diverse menu which always makes it a fun place to dine. I had felt like something simple on Saturday but I highly recommend the quinoa cakes for brunch and the Avocado Benedict for breakfast during the week. Can't wait to go back and try it for dinner. read more

Beatrix - Eggs Your Way Brunch - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Dang........this is a tough one, you guys! I love LEYE and I wanted to love Beatrix, but my dish left me pretty disappointed. However, hubby's meal was delish, so alas, I'm struggling. I ordered the cauliflower grits, that comes with crispy brussels sprouts and fried eggs. I imagined a healthy style of grits, with ooey gooey yolk drizzling within. Instead, I received two fried eggs with cooked yolks. Ick! In fairness, the menu didn't say "over easy" but I've never had a grit & egg dish with hard yolks (who eats those, anyways??). My husband, however, made a very smart choice with the pot roast & egg sandwich. Sounds like an odd combo, but I could eat that every week. Flavors were on point for sure. We also ordered the rainbow toast, which was a great way to get some "sweet" in our savory dishes. Nothing out of this world, but very good! We questioned what the Malted Freddo was, and it was described as a "grown up chocolate milk". Hubby isn't much of a coffee drinker so he took a chance........and it was a risky one indeed. The "chocolate milk" was more like a shot of espresso and sugar water (literally - there was sugar at the bottom of the glass). There was hardly a hint of chocolate...I love coffee and even for me it was a bit much! On the other hand, my latte was fabulous. I'd for sure give Beatrix another try but we were about 50/50 for our items. Service was great and location is perfect. read more

Words can't even begin to describe what a complete package Beatrix is. I came here for breakfast on an early Chicago morning while staying for a work trip and was instantly greeted by a warm, cozy atmosphere and upbeat service. The restaurant can get busy (always a good thing) but it never feels rushed or pushy like more popular brunch spots in Chicago. The food itself was great; I have 0 complaints on that front and the mimosa (or 2 or 3) that I had was standard fare. Things I tried & liked: Avocado Toast - Topped with fresh avocado, the light and airy bread pairs well with the grains and greens put on top. For those looking for a more citrusy avocado toast-- look elsewhere. Otherwise, definitely try this side! House-Made Belgian Style Waffle - The name is a bit deceiving; you get 4 small waffles with a beautifully done, light sweet cream reminiscent of mascarpone. The waffles are topped with fresh strawberries and garnished with a small helping of mint leaves and syrup. The dish is great; everything pairs well and it's not too heavy. However, it is a relatively small portion so if you're in the mood for waffles/pancakes, then go for the lemon pancakes (which offer a larger portion size). Light & Fluffy Lemon Pancakes - These are pretty straighforward. You get 2 light and fluffy lemon infused pancakes topped with powdered sugar, lemon zest, and blackberries. You get Beatrix's wonderful syrup on the side. They taste great (though a bit egg-y for my palette) and are filling without bloating you afterwards. Mimosas - The mimosas are standard fare, though you can get them in orange, blue, or red. They're worth having, though I believe they'd be more fairly priced around $6 or $7 each. Overall, Beatrix is a fantastic breakfast/brunch spot. While it may not be as popular as other restaurants, it's a welcome addition to the food scene in Chicago that doesn't have ridiculously long wait times. Everything from the food, the service, and the ambiance is well-rounded and feels like a complete package. When tables are full, I recommend sitting at the bar to avoid having to wait in line. read more

Really nice atmosphere for a hotel restaurant. Was excited to try as many people have said it was very good. The service was extremely slow and they forgot to put in multiple orders for people at our table. The food came out cold and had small portions for some of the plates. I would not recommend as it is very expensive for what they offer. read more

Early for reservation. Meeting family and friends. Sat at bar and ordered a beer. Asked waitress what tequilas they had and pointed to one of beautiful bottles on shelf. Friendly waitress without a second thought poured a sip of mezcal (La Purrita Verde) I asked about for me to taste. Family and friends arrived and shortly after enjoying our initial catching-up on life, our drinks were served and entrees ordered. The skirts steaks, ribs, pork loin and burgers were devoured. A lively place, great service and food. We will be back, for sure. read more

There are around 8,000 restaurants in Chicago - or so sayeth a random, unverified link I clicked on. The point is, life is short, and with thousands of other dining options, you would be wasting your time by spending your illicitly-earned bitcoins at Beatrix River North. Yes, they do have really cool huge wall-mounted concert photos of Mick and Keith presumably ripping through Stones classics, but they also featured: A cappuccino that tasted solely of steamed milk. A mimosa with flat champagne and extra pulp. A cold, greasy, piddly amount of steak in the steak and eggs, accompanied by a thawed square of mushy hash browns and tasteless value-priced 24-pack eggs. A chicken tinga dish which was the equivalent of throwing a bunch of chicken and salsa into the slow cooker - which is not that bad a meal, but also something I can just make for myself, which is not exactly the experience I am looking for in a restaurant. On the other hand, the coffee-booze-banana smoothie drink was good. It did look like many of the people there were ordering pastries instead of entrees, which might be a safer way to go if you choose to disregard this warning and attempt to brunch at Beatrix. read more

Beatrix - Poached egg pasta with asparagus - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I took my mother and her best friend here for my mother's birthday. The music was fairly loud. It's definitely a place for a younger, hip crowd. We ordered: - butternut squash soup: good, on the sweet side. You can order naan with it. - kale salad: wish it had my crispy kale pieces. This is a light salad. It was good. - pot roast ragu with spaghetti squash: was a good substitute for pasta. I could taste the butter. - prime burgers: my mom devoured hers and love it. Fries were pretty good too. They were very nice and comped her a delicious chocolate cake for her birthday. Overall it was a good experience! read more

There's something about Beatrix. Every time I have an out-of-towner, I take them to Beatrix for brunch. I took my best friend from NYC to Beatrix. I took my mom from Seoul to Beatrix. We have group weekend brunches here with friends. My boyfriend and I went to Beatrix for Easter brunch. There's just something about it. It's always pretty busy and loud, I haven't seen Beatrix less than 60% full, ever. Walking in without a reservation will result in a moderate wait time. If you're like me and wish to avoid that, make a reservation. Opentable makes it simple. The tables are sufficiently large and fit for big groups. There are smaller tables for smaller groups / couples, too. The place itself is quite large, but they've packed a bunch of tables in that space so you may knock into someone's chair or bag at any given time. Despite the commotion, Beatrix guests are usually pretty happy to be there. There's a LOT OF SUNLIGHT! My favorite part about Beatrix is on sunny days, they'll open the patio and let natural air and light permeate the room, and I don't know who their brilliant engineer must have been, but the restaurant glows. Coupled with Michael Jackson tracks they often have playing on loop, it becomes a lively atmosphere perfect for weekend brunch. Additional note: they display a huge candid photograph of Jagger (pictured) on one of the walls that I think adds to the ambiance. In terms of food, I like their quinoa cake, the chimichurri, the prime burger, the hummus. The cocktails with fresh juice is great. I had a blueberry champagne once, that was delicious. For dessert I always get a cup of cappuccino (I think La Colombe supplies their coffee) as a meal-ender, palate-cleanser, etc. read more

Beatrix - Weekend brunch at Beatrix - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Super yummy breakfast with great service! We arrived at 750am and the hostess seated us even though the restaurant wasn't technically open yet. The coffee bar and bakery was open to serve patrons arriving before 8am. The person serving behind the coffee bar/bakery also patiently answered all my mother's questions about the baked goods. Our table server was also super friendly and was very knowledgable about the menu. I ordered the Chicken Tinga which I liked (very fresh tasting, tender chicken and onions in light tomato broth-style sauce served with fresh avocado and corn tortillas) but my sister ordered the cauliflower grits which I loved! The grits were super smooth and well flavored with Parmesan and crispy brussel sprouts (as well as broccoli). Mum ordered the breakfast bun which was crispy on the outside and light and chewy on the inside, sprinkled with citrus and sugar on the outside. She liked it so much she ordered another one to go for the plane ride home! Would definitely come again for the fresh, home style cooking, great service and comfy decor! read more

We were visiting Chicago this past weekend, and brunched at Beatrix. The food there is outstanding. We were a large group, and everyone raved about their meals. The Shakshouka was terrific, as was the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. Service was terrific too - food was served very quickly after we ordered and our server checked on us regularly. Don't forget to stop at the bakery counter before leaving - their cookies and pastries are amazing! read more

The food might be good, we don't know. Drinks were fine. We were sitting near the bar with drinks waiting for a bar spot to open up for food as it is first come first serve.

Beatrix - Burrata appetizer - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Couple people last night told me to try this place for brunch. Bit disappointed because I had high expectations. Service was something to be desired. I was sitting at the bar for a good 7 minutes before I was even acknowledged. Yes it is busy but maybe they should have more people on a Sunday. I ordered chimichurri steak and eggs. It was ok. And now I've been waiting for someone to look at me so I can ask for my check. I would really like a mimosa but I am not paying $9 for a glass. I'm gonna go and have some Mango mimosa for $4 at the Irish bar across the street lol I have to update my review and change it to 4 stars. While I was waiting, the Manager Kelsey walked up to me and apologized and comped my meal which was a great gestures. Very appreciative of this amazing gesture by the manager. She saved the day read more

Last Friday I went for breakfast with my cousin and her husband. It was my first time going there. We had just come from City Hall where my cousin had just got married, and she was wearing her vail. We had a great experience from the moment we walked in. The host sat us a a great table to the back against the window. The waitress was super nice and always checking up on us. Food was very very good. They also brought over a dessert on the house that was the best cheesecake I've ever tasted. There was a table across from us that treated us to Mimosas. All the staff were congratulating them. Finally I believe it might have been the manager who came over to see how everything was going. It was just an overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to return. read more
