Met a friend here for breakfast. They do not have a separate GF menu but do offer some options on the regular menu. I ordered GF pancakes with raspberries and diced potatoes. The server indicated the pancakes are cooked on the same griddle. I asked if they could wipe it down and she said yes. She also indicated all the breakfast potatoes are GF. I also ordered a chai which was really good.

Mediterranean Omelet

Always a good classic place for brunch before walking around the river. Plenty of space, no waiting, and huge portions. Usually leftovers for another meal or perhaps two. Fresh ingredients and tasty. The meditation omelet was perfect, light, and fulfilling served with diced potatoes crispy outside and tender inside. I had the Pancake, which satisfied my sweet tooth. Refreshing and indulging Berry smoothly. The servers could be a bit more friendly, I get the feeling they have a sense of entitlement like they are doing me a favor when I'm a paying customer. Well. . . Good servers are hard to come by. Will keep coming back for the food and the walk after indulging myself.

This was our first time eating at Brunch Cafe! There was plenty of parking and many tables inside the restaurant. The decor was warm and inviting. I ordered a vegetable omelette with pancakes. Cheese was extra, but I did add cheddar to my omelette. The cheese should have been free like other brunch places. It was a cold day and this was perfect comfort food. I had a nice breakfast. I came here with my friends, but I will bring my family next time.

Sweet Potato Skillet, Stuffed Portobello Scrambler, and Potato Crusted Omelet
Bailey P.

It's been a VERY long time since I'd been to Brunch Cafe. Last time I remember waiting over an hour for a table so I was pleasantly surprised when we were seated right away this morning. The hostess and our waitress were both very helpful and attentive. Everything on the menu looked great but I ended up trying the sweet potato skillet. The sweet potato tots were perfectly crisp and the apple and gouda paired so well together! I swapped my side for fruit which was a mix of pineapple, honey dew, cantaloupe, and grapes which were all very fresh and high quality. My aunt ordered the potato crusted omelet which was so creative and looked great too! The other members at my table opting for pancakes as their side but asked them to-go and they came in to-go boxes which was perfect! Overall very happy with my visit!

Right when you walked in, you were greeted with the friendly staff right away. I noticed the cleanliness of this place right away as well. I got seated first while waiting for my friend and the waitress came by right away to greet me and grabbed water first. My friend and I ordered and shared two entrees. We got the caliente omelette and the country fried steak. And she ordered pancakes with a side of bacon and fruits for her daughters. They brought out the food really fast and service was amazing. Our waitress knew that we were sharing the entrees so she gave us our own sides of salsa and sour cream and made sure we had 2 plates. I will definitely recommend and be back at this spot again.

Ordered a vegetarian Omelette on 10/23/24 at 9:34 am.  Half way through eating my omelette, I bit into a penny mixed with my omelette.

It was hot and I was in the sun all morning so we only ordered water no other drinks. My daughter got the beet salad and I got the Korean Tacos. A lot of places have good presentation without the flavor to follow up. This did not happened here. My daughter really enjoyed her salad and I equally enjoyed the tacos. I am a fan of steak fries, so I was excited to have some nice thick fries with my lunch. The tortilla soup was just as good. I have not set place in this spot since it was Nosh.

The service was both very attentive and never there when you needed it. Our waitress asked a LOT of questions and was really up in our business, asking about allergies that she thought she saw on our Resy account that did not exist and I didn't even know were an option. The place was a cool vibe, but pretty empty compared to all the other packed restaurants downtown. While the offer reservations, it didn't seem like you'd need one.

Their preorder system is incredibly smooth, though it does require a bit of planning since you need to order at least a day in advance, and they are closed on Mondays. I scheduled an order on a Friday for a Tuesday morning pickup. I picked up a dozen GF donuts and a half-dozen chocolate chip cookies, and both were fantastic. They offer a ton of different donut flavors, though the ordering system limits you to choosing three varieties per dozen. I went with the banana bread, chocolate with chocolate icing and the brown sugar with chocolate icing, and they did not disappoint. The cookies were just as impressive, hitting that perfect texture without any of the dryness you sometimes find in gluten-free baking. The shop itself is super cute and perfectly set up for a quick visit. All the preordered to-go items are neatly laid out on a cabinet for a seamless pickup. If you have some extra time, they also have drinks and food you can order at the counter, a shared parking lot that makes stopping by a breeze, and a nice outdoor seating area. I will definitely be back to mix and match some new flavors next time.

We loved everything about The Graceful Ordinary from the ambience to the amazing service (thanks Karen!) to the creative cocktails to the delicious food. When we arrived at the table, there was an anniversary card from the staff. Nice touch! We were brought a loaf of the warm housemade bread with whipped butter to begin. Hubby ordered the Having a Moment bourbon cocktail, and I had the Honey Kiss vodka and elderflower cocktail. Love their creative cocktail list. Karen was a fabulous server, so attentive and friendly. The other staff was on top of everything from water being refilled to clearing dirty dishes and even fresh butter brought to the table when it was low. Our needs were met before we even needed to ask. Also, since Karen knew that we were splitting all the courses, she automatically had the food split between two plates. I liked that. We decided to split everything we ordered. We started with the smoked salmon deviled eggs which were creamy delicious, not to mention beautifully presented. Our second starter was the bone marrow with caramelized shallots. This dish was absolutely amazing. My only critique would be to put four pieces of bread on the plate went two people are sharing. Our next course was a salad and we went with the roasted beet salad with blue cheese and sunflower shoots dressed in a warm bacon vinaigrette. Bacon - need I say more? Our main course was the walleye with ricotta gnudi, fava beans, peas and wild mushrooms. So many flavors and textures going on. The fish was perfectly seared and moist. Delectable. We thought about dessert but we were so full from dinner that we passed. Karen wouldn't let us go without a complimentary dessert in honor of our anniversary to enjoy at home, their signature butterscotch pot de crème with sea salt caramel. The Graceful Ordinary certainly made our anniversary special with the anniversary card at the table, and the complementary dessert. If you're in the western Chicago burbs, I highly recommend checking this restaurant out.
