Our server was extremely friendly! But the service was lacking. Our meal came out. We had to ask for napkins. Then we had to ask for the side of chipotle mayo that was supposed to be served with it . Then I realized we didn't have any forks or knives, but by this time I didn't want to ask anymore. So I just used the toothpick to spread the chipotle mayo. The cheesesteak sliders sounded so delicious. But there was barely any meat on them. We took off the top bun, but even then not enough meat. Listen, I am a true Evanstion and I really want them to succeed! But they're definitely going to need to up their game. On the positive side. There were many large green TVs with lots of football! It'd be a super great place to go watch some football. Definitely give it a try for Monday night Bears game.

I used to get tomato soup, delicious! , and maybe a side of lentils or carrots or green beans on the side. Now there's only broccolini (bleh, worse than broccoli for me) as a side vegetable. I have T1 diabetes and nearly vegan, so vegetables without tons of carbohydrates are important to me. I'll likely come less in the future. Please put the simple veggies back on the menu!

Welp, Yelp, I like a new local place. I hope it sticks around for a while because the yummies I had…read morewere really yummy. Here's what when down. I walked past Evanston Corner Bistro on a September Tuesday at that awkward not lunch anymore, but also not dinner time. Relieved to find it open I did a 180 turn and headed to the charming manager, Melissa, who was attentive, funny and seated me immediately. This building has been at least five establishments on my watch, most of them not too memorable, and a few dreadful. However, I am very happy to say this iteration and restaurant impressed me, especially their endearing staff. I am now currently obsessed with their take on a turkey club that the knowledgable, elegant, and attentive waiter, Ben, highly recommended. Caramelized onions, arugula, gruyere, garlic aioli, yes gawd, please. This thing was huge. Dagwood sized, jaws unhinged to consume. I had to take half home with me, which was devoured by a grateful husband a few hours later. People, I don't think I have ever thought about a turkey sandwich beyond consumption, but damn it if I don't want another one today. I now lament allowing the hubby access to this revelation on bread. I also had a cucumber gazpacho that truly freaked me out in an "I'll try anything once, holy crap this is really delicious!" way. I think Ben mentioned there was an apple gastric drizzled in there, which is probably the secret sauce. So yeah, now I need more of that, too. Socially speaking, I must mention that these kids are so lovely. I hate to bother staff during that unpopular time, but I was feeling rather low, and needed some company. I was delighted to be treated very well. I even got a few snatches of very interesting conversation, which gave me a chance to practice not being a feral curmudgeon in public. Ben is a very well traveled fellow and he knows his food. So does Melissa, but watch out for her, though. She looks the very picture of innocence, but she can whip out a joke with such stealth and precision that you will think you're merely discussing a current event, then BAMMO, you might find yourself doing a spit-take or guffaw and a groan. Soon, I'll head back for steak frites and a martini, most likely an early bird Golden Girl's special, so I can get some special attention, and, perhaps, a joke. Thanks, corner kids. See you again, soon!

Unfortunately, the food and service don't quite live up to the atmosphere. Brunch was incredibly mid. The food reminded me of airplane food, or perhaps Panera on a slightly better day. The avocado toast, for example, was a slice of bread with smashed avocado and what I can only describe as egg dust. It was advertised as coming with microgreens, but there was quite literally one piece of cilantro. The menu said "eggs," so I assumed I'd be getting a poached egg or something comparable. Instead, I got a light dusting of what appeared to be egg. My boyfriend's breakfast sandwich looked fine, but the breakfast potatoes were completely unseasoned. The service was also rough, although I have a hard time blaming the staff when there appeared to be only one person working on a Sunday morning. We waited 30 minutes for drinks, 40 minutes for our food, and another 35 minutes for the check after we had finished eating. That's a pretty brutal timeline for brunch. I've had a good dinner here before, so I'm not writing the restaurant off entirely. And it is slim pickings in Evanston. I just don't understand how Evanston restaurants are so consistently mid when it's right next door to the greatest food city in the country.

We also had a cup of apple slaw (delicious) and a cup of Tuscan Kale & Asparagus (VERY delicious) and then a pleasurable unexpected bonus of potato pierogis. (SOO VERY delicious). Our waitress, Xiomara was extremely nice and always smiling! Although Xiomara was pretty busy and she forgot about the pierogis. She was very kind to not charge us for them. Greatly appreicated.

The new ownership decided to start closing early, and eliminated Tuesday trivia night, the only reason I make a point to drive an hour every week to come here. It was worth the price of gas and expensive coffee because it was really great trivia with a lot of participants, but it seems tonight will be my last time here. Also, being card only and charging a 3% fee is nonsense. Just raise your prices 3% since you know everyone will be paying with a card. Not that it will matter now.
