    Vegan tomato basil soup, fries, Mediterranean salad.
    Kate S.

    Well, this is crazy. I came here last Friday to meet a friend for lunch who I hadn't seen in ages, and it happened to be Good Friday. Apparently the first (and only other) time I came here was Good Friday last year to meet a different friend for coffee. I didn't realize it had been almost a full year since I had been here. I've been wanting to try their food because it always looks so good on Instagram, and I wasn't disappointed. My friend ordered the mediterranean salad and a side of berries and tea, and I ordered the vegan soup of the day (tomato basil) and a side of fries. The fries were probably unnecessary because I didn't read that the soup came with bread, but I ate all of them anyway because they're delicious. Service was great, and we sat there for almost 2 hours and they didn't kick us out (unlike last year, it wasn't that crowded this time. We came at 2pm, so it was not as busy of a time, I guess). We were in the restaurant part, and the vibes are great. As a note: for counter service make sure you tip, as they still have servers bringing out the food for you (it's not like Panera). I feel super bad because I didn't realize that it wasn't included in the price. (We had looked at a few different places online and both Bar Siena and Hampton Social include an 18% gratuity automatically, and I think my brain was thinking that Cupitol also does that. But they do not. So many places do that now, some of which still ask you for an extra tip, so it's hard to keep track). Next time I go I'll tip double. I will definitely be back because everything was delicious and omg their pastries look so good.

    Chicken B.L.T.A.
    Richard S.

    - fine food, ok ambiance, kind staff - no reservation made or could be made - not looking to come back Went for a spontaneous brunch and I was not really thrilled with the overall experience. It all had felt too casual and self-serve - ordering at the counter with my assigned table hand-written, a water cup station, and no check-ins at all. This was just not what I was expecting from what I had heard. The food was ok, but overall underdelivered. For my meal, I had gotten the Chicken B.L.T.A. and Matcha Sparkling. The sandwich itself was fine, a standard combination of ingredients. The country white gravy was very runny and soaked the bread quickly, and the bread itself was already not toasted. Nothing really special that I noticed eating it. My drink was fairly plain too, would have preferred a green tea if I knew it would taste very watered down. Additionally, there wasn't much "sparkling" in it, as it was mostly flat. My girlfriend had gotten a bowl of Chicken Bone Broth that was served with some bread. The soup was very standard and had an ok amount of chicken chunks, but not that much of that or anything else. The chicken came out to be slightly dry too. The soup was served in a very wide bowl that was fun, but I understood why it is not too common. The soup quickly cooled and was no longer an enjoyable temperature halfway through, but it was still ok for dipping the bread in afterwards. Her drink was also nothing crazy, not much mint and just tasting like sweet and cream. Overall not that impressed with both the food and set-up for the brunch service. Potentially dinner is better from the experiences I have heard, but that sort of drastic difference is not something I find appropriate or exciting for any restaurant.

    The first time I went to Cupitol at the Old Orchard Mall, the experience was not great. I met a friend here for an early dinner and we stayed for about 2 hours. Within those couple of hours, a staff member came to check on us every 10 minutes (no exaggerations here). It was nice in the beginning since I knew they recently just opened this location, so they wanted to make sure they were providing great service. It became annoying. Our server kept asking if we wanted to order more food. It became irritating. Fast forward to a couple of months, I met up with former colleagues here. It was great to know that they offer Happy Hour food and drinks. For both visits, I've tried: SPREAD TRILOGY- all components were good BLUEBERRY LEMON PANCAKE- delicious FALAFEL BURGER- good flavors but it was overcooked CORTADO- good ESPRESSO MARTINI- great APEROL SPRITZ- good Overall, the second visit was better. We were not interrupted every 10 minutes by anyone. Our server was attentive, pleasant, and efficient. The place is clean, and parking is a hit or miss since this mall can get really busy. This location is a good meeting point for my friends and I. Now that we know they have good Happy Hour deals, we will be coming back for more GNOs for sure. 'Til next time!

    Ambience- great- very modern Service - average- need improvement. Slow Food- average- was nothing special. Small serving size. Presentation of salad was good, but greens were not cut and that showed laziness of staff for preparing as simple as salad. Pictures look better than taste Not sure if i will go there again. There are Better places around the mall to go to

    Paccheri Pasticio
    Angela L.

    Sat down for a first date at the Old Orchard location. I'd been to the Evanston one before for a coffee on the run. This one is larger and nicely appointed. Very friendly staff upon entering was seated immediately. Slightly chilly inside but it was a cold wintry evening. Started with the cinnamon tea to warm me up, wait staff was delightful and attentive in refilling it with fresh hot water and little side of honey for me. It was delicious and perfect. I decided on ordering the Paccheri Pasticio. Perfect! The truffle laced bechamel was to tie for. Stop in, see know I will be again, sans date... but for the food and drink.

    We had an amazing experience at The Cupitol restaurant @cupitoltherestaurant in Skokie at the Old Orchard Mall. The Cupitol is a casual restaurant with an elegant setting, excellent food, outstanding service, and dangerously good cocktails! This was for dinner; breakfast and lunch are "counter service". You order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. Our appetizers were the Athenian Toast and the Yaiyias Meatballs. Both were amazingly delicious. Our drinks were a Pineapple Tiki Tiki and Metaxa 1885 so refreshing and exhilarating! Braised Lamb Shank. A meltingly tender shank that had me at hello. You can't help but stare at the presentation before the aroma takes over your senses .... and must dig in. Served over a generous portion of whipped potatoes that sit on "bordelaise sauce" so rich you would want to order extra bread to lick every last bit off the plate. Faroe Island Salmon Seafood lovers would appreciate the intense flavor of this salmon with a moist and flaky interior. Prime New York Strip Steak A 12-ounce slice of meat lovers' heaven that was both succulent and delicate. Don't overlook the pasta dishes. They are fantastic! Here's what we tried: 1. Paccheri pasticio Their take on this Mediterranean comfort food is amazing. Shredded beef that melts in your mouth is stuffed into large pieces of cannelloni pasta. Prawns bisque linguine  The rich and intense flavor of bisque is used as a sauce for these large shrimp. Served over a bed of linguine with a hint of sauce that feels surprisingly light. And then comes dessert..... The Basque Cheesecake here is so decadent, it's out of this world. The caramel-like exterior and silky interior need nothing else to melt my heart, however, it's served with butterscotch and pecans The epitome of comfort food meets the elegance of fine dining at The Cupitol Restaurant! We highly recommend them!

    I attended their one-year anniversary celebration with my daughter. The event was on a Friday night and included various appetizers, pita chips and dips, desserts, and various cocktails. My faves were the potatoes, mojito, and tiramisu! There was even a DJ playing tunes. The event was nice and the staff were very friendly. It was lovely of them to celebrate with their patrons. My daughter is already asking to go back.

    Ham and Ham & Cheese Croissant and Latte
    Jennifer D.

    Great servers and good food for quick and nice ambience. Their croissants and lattes are great. The chicken in the salad is too dry. I had a melt in your mouth lamb shank and highly recommend that dish if you are looking for a homey meal

    I recently had light dinner at Cupitol Old Orchard and maybe that is not the first place that you think to have dinner at because of its popularity for breakfast. The dinner here was as good as well. I had the Cobb salad and it was fresh, well mixed and tasted very very good. I also tried one of their hot teas and was impressed by the variety and beautiful presentation. Service was very friendly and I enjoyed my dinner. The interior is very nicely decorated, tables are well spaced so everyone has room and it's easy to hold a conversation as it's not too loud.

    Stopped in for a quick meal, and had a lovely time. You order at front, take your number and head to a table, where they'll serve you your food. I had a tasty bfast croissant sandwich and matcha latte, my colleague had a yummy staple bfast w eggs, sausage, toast, hashbrowns. Service was lovely. It's cute and cozy inside, this feels like a solid addition to the mall and I will be back!

    Cupitol is a very mediocre, cookie-cutter brunch spot. You don't get waited on; instead, you walk in, receive a number and a menu, wait in line to order at a kiosk, then seat yourself and wait for your food. Everything is self-serve, even your water and condiments, so it definitely has a fast food feel, in that respect. I am hopeful that this is not the direction that sit-down restaurants are going in; however, I understand this is a casual place and it's nice not to have to worry about tipping sometimes. Unfortunately, my food was marginal and nothing stood out. Everything was just okay, and I probably won't be returning.

Inside they also have a record player for some ambiance and good music. Their chai is delicious! It was sweeter than I expected but I like it sweet too. On the spicy to sweet scale of chai, this is definitely on the sweet side, so if that's not your bag you'll want to select something else. The menu overall is small, but the drinks are pleasant. They had several scones and although I skipped those, another woman in the shop was buying a scone wheel to bake at home, so I don't deny they piqued my interest.

The cafe is immaculate and service was very friendly. The person who took our order was patient as he explained the different pastries in the case. I wish they had signs explaining what each pastry was so I could have decided while waiting in line. We ended up sharing an iced pistachio latte (delicious and 10/10!), the pistachio cheesecake (10/10!), and the strawberry mousse cake (7/10 - a subtle sweetness, great texture, but needed more cake or crust inside as it was mostly whipped cream and the shell). The mousse cake was $12.00, which felt steep considering it was mostly whipped cream, even though it was obviously beautiful. We would definitely come back for the coffee and to try more menu items! Check this place out!

    I wanted to like it. I did. But after a few visits, it's just not for me…read more The first trip, I tried the Matari Tea: Green tea, Himalayan pink salt, milk, and spices, topped with roasted pistachios. Sounds good, right? Alas, it could not have been blander. I couldn't taste any "spices" or even the hint of salt. The profile was that of very watered-down tea mixed with milk, and a ton of pistachios floating on top. Like, barely crushed pistachios. Huge pieces, covering the top of the drink, bobbed around like tiny icebergs, and even they somehow had a toned-down flavor. The drink was definitely a swing and a miss. Fast forward two weeks, and I tried Matari again. This time with a simple cortado. I sat at the table right by the door, and the espresso was pretty good. Solid body, not too bitter. It was on the pricy side ($7+), but I was ok with that. But then, I'm hanging out, sipping my coffee, and I catch a burst of perfume-like scent. I'm shocked, but whatever, I figured someone in heavy perfume walked by, no big deal. A few minutes later, wham, I'm hit in the nose with another burst of perfume. Then, I see it. A slight haze around me. So, not a heavily perfumed woman after all, but an automated air-freshener. After further inspection, I see the unit plugged in on the ground right behind my chair, which sprays up and out on a timer. That's right, an air freshener right next to a table where people consume food and beverages, shooting a mist into the air that slowly rains down onto my head and table, and into my coffee. I ended up tossing the last few sips of my cortado, as I could taste the scented whatever-it-was in my cup. I'd have gone to the counter and asked for a new one, but I was so over my visit by then, I just opted to get out. The staff aren't very friendly. Not rude, but they don't give off a welcoming aura, and I didn't feel like trying to explain the issue. Lastly, can we talk about their little "your order is up" beepers? We've all seen them. The little electronic things that blink and make a noise when your order is ready, so you can go snag it from the counter. When I think of a coffee shop, I think quiet and peaceful, or perhaps a bit louder, with bustling people and well-paired music. At Matari, it's an insane BEEP BEEP BEEP that goes off every few minutes when an order is up. I get it, you don't want to bring the food out to your customers. But does it really need to feel like an airport Chili's? It's a bummer, because Matari is beautiful inside. It's clean, it's chic, and its location is at a notable crossroads in Skokie with plenty of parking, leaving it extremely convenient. They've even got an easy-to-use website, which so many coffee shops simply do not have. There aren't a lot of coffee shops in this particular part of town, which is why I so, so very much wanted to love Matari. But subpar drinks? Air freshener spray intrusions? Frequent and obnoxious beeping? I tried. I'm sorry. I just can't.
