A lot of spaces for working, with a lot of good conversations happening in the background to provide some filler white noise, if that's your cup of tea.

I usually order the drip and a sweet waffle, but twoday I went savory with a BEC, and it was awesome! The distinguishing thing here is waffles, and they do it in a ton of varieties extremely well, even to-go! Wi-fi is good here to boot, so I'm not sure if I have any knocks on this place... perhaps that it closes too early?

I completely forgot that I had brought my lunch to work today and instead went out. Lucky for me…read moreLove Park had the Foolish Waffles Truck because I had one of the best meals I've had in a while. There were five others waiting for their orders, and I gazed at the menu. I've always heard of chicken and waffles, but have never tried it. This was my choice. I chose wisely. The boneless fried chicken breast was light and delicate and not greasy. The slaw was not too dry or runny with sauce. The candied jalapeño peppers should have been more plentiful on top, but I liked the slices I got. The waffle, although not crunchy or crispy, and actually a little mushed, had outstanding flavor and surprisingly complemented the chicken and slaw. I was blown away how good it was and a decent sized portion. They have others like an Italian, and a Vietnamese version of waffles with stuff. Additionally, that have the sweet waffles with fruit toppings. This was a definite 5-star lunch today! $12 for the fried chicken and waffles. I posted a picture of it and the menu with the prices of the day.

They put plenty of chicken on the waffle and the waffle and chili honey were very tasty. I do wish I added syrup, because the honey had evaporated into the waffle by the time I walked back to eat. I did deduct a star because we waited over twenty minutes for our food to cook. This is problematic when on a lunch break from work. I wish there was a way to call in the order beforehand and pick it up. They do take credit cards, with a $0.50 fee. I would def try it again, but would be prepared for the long wait.

The only reason this is 2 stars instead one 1 star is because I used to love coming here since my…read morecollege days. I especially liked the seats next to the windows. A couple months ago, we had brunch here and asked my omelet to be well done, but the middle was slightly runny. I just had my husband eat that portion. Wouldn't be an issue normally except I was pregnant. We also asked to redeem our points but nothing was applied. Not a big deal since we can use it in the future. I considered this a one off. Today we had lunch here and specifically requested no onion/garlic due to pregnancy aversions. When my omelet came out, there was a piece of onion on top (I'm frustrated at myself for not taking a photo but I was really hungry and just wanted edible food at that point). When I asked the server (who also said it looked like an onion), she went back to ask the chef who confirmed no onion in my dish. I flipped the piece over to double check and it was clearly an onion. I mentioned it to the server again and she took my plate back to the kitchen to ask the chef. When she came back, she said "the chef said it's a white bell pepper, whatever that means." The onion piece was taken off I'm assuming by the back. I decided to trust what I was told and took a bite. I didn't see any more onion but the onion/garlic taste was so strong I immediately had to spit it out. They then offered remake the omelet which was a lot better but still had a few parts with the lingering onion/garlic taste. I asked for lemon slices so I could cleanse my palate and just kept using the lemon after spitting out the bites that had the repulsive taste. The experience was not enjoyable. To make matters even better (I'm being sarcastic), there was a piece of bell pepper covered in a heavily seasoned sauce in my potatoes (I'm assuming from one of their Mexican based dishes) which then contaminated some of the potatoes with that sauce. I couldn't eat the contaminated potatoes because of the onion/garlic taste of the sauce. The cherry on top was when I was presented with the check, I was told there was a surcharge for changing the cheese that I was not told of when ordering. This was supposed to be a birthday brunch too. All in all, I left with a bad taste in my mouth (both literally and figuratively) and will not be coming back to this location for a while. My assumption is the kitchen uses the same knives/cutting boards/cookware between dishes therefore the cross contamination even in the second omelet. It makes sense since they are busy especially on the weekends. However, it would have been nice if they took my requests seriously.

Wanted to like this place so badly, but WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES OR DIETARY…read moreRESTRICTIONS!! VERY DANGEROUS! Much better and safer places in walking distance with friendlier service and better food! - when asked about vegan options, the restaurant said they didn't know and asked me to look at the options and they'd verify. It's weird to not have any dietary-friendly options ready, and to not be willing to look into it - asked for a side of PB and only after calling them, they said they had none left (?) and did not offer a replacement - coffee tasted bitter and the beans were over roasted. I also ordered a decaf since I can't have caffeine, and needed to take allergy medication because I realized halfway through that it had caffeine. Oats were cooked (which was great), but was missing the promised toppings from the menu. An iced latte + oats = $33. I also chatted with the manager after this and she said raisins are seasonal (not true lol) so they could remove toppings without telling us, and that it is standard to not receive assistance about what items fit dietary restrictions and to just look at a menu (not true).

Ate dinner here to spend room credits received as part of AMEX The Hotel Collection…read more The happy hour menu looked like a good deal, but we decided to eat during dinner time instead. It was super quiet during dinner time. Only a handful of people were getting a drink at the bar area. I don't think Patchwork is the type of restaurant where non-hotel guests would eat at. I ordered the steak frites and my friend ordered the roast chicken. Our orders took a long time to come (over half hour) which is wild given it was prime dinner time and there were no other dinner guests. When it came out, the dishes were large, but they tasted mediocre. My steak was overcooked and had tough tendon through half of it. My friend's chicken wasn't too dry, but neither of us liked the sauce which was a bit sour. We wouldn't eat here if it wasn't for the credit. Since we had extra credits remaining after the dinner, we spent the remainder on kind bars from their grab and go section. When we checked out, the folio showed an incorrect charge from the kind bars purchase. We even spoke with the Patchwork staff who pulled up our receipts and stuff. The receipts showed the correct amount, but the resulting charge to my folio was double of what we actually purchased. After spending half an hour trying to figure this out, the on-duty manager said that she'll tell the General Manager to process the refund for us, but I never received it. I got in contact with the GM but still pending updates. It's only a $13 problem, but I'm more concerned why their POS would double charge me on my folio versus what the signed purchase receipt says.

Was craving some brunch and stumbled upon this restaurant instead of going to my usual. It was…read morequite busy but had a very fast turnover as soon as people left. They also fill your classes with water before you sit which was a very nice touch on a hot day. Serving sizes are deceptively large - the omelets/fritata were absolutely stuffed. They smoke their salmon in house which was nice little fact to learn. They are also BYOB so you can bring in a wine/champagne if you want a little breakfast cocktail. They have a mocktail of the day (mine was a hibiscus spritz) if you just wanna spice it up. Only downside was that the ac was broken the day but there wasn't much the restaurant could do about that (obviously) so it's not affecting my rating. Just note it can get stuffy on a hot day if it's down.

Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

A few friends and I were craving a hearty brunch on a Saturday morning and decided to check out…read moreSabrina's Cafe near the Art Museum after seeing all the positive reviews. Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

I really wanted to like this place. One of my friends recommended it, and then another group of…read morefriends invited me to go after a talk, so I was actually pretty excited to finally try it. And honestly, the restaurant itself is SO cute. Aesthetically, I adore it. It has this old European pub / rustic countryside feeling, especially with the dim lighting. There's a bar in the front and seating toward the back, and they really committed to the whole theme. Mason jars, wood details, the menu attached to a wooden board, and dog-themed decorations everywhere. It's very thoughtfully decorated and has that cozy rainy-day feeling where you just want to sit around and chat. The staff were also polite and checked on us pretty frequently. They kept our water glasses filled, which I appreciated. Food-wise, though, this is where things fell apart for me. We shared the mussels and charcuterie board, and I ordered the seafood cavatelli for myself. The mussels were easily the best thing we had. They came with a choice of red or white, which I'm assuming refers to the sauce or wine preparation, although I wasn't totally sure. Either way, the mussels themselves were really good and the broth was flavorful. The bread was perfect for soaking up all that juice. Honestly, 10/10 for the mussels. The charcuterie board was less impressive. It felt pretty sparse for the price, with the usual salami and ham but no prosciutto. Some of the other items also felt pretty basic for what I expected to be a more upscale board. There was even an egg on it, which just wasn't really my cup of tea. Nothing was necessarily bad, it just didn't feel worth the price. Then came my seafood cavatelli, and unfortunately... DAMN, it was greasy. The sauce was much more oily than creamy, and after a couple bites I already knew I wasn't going to finish it. I didn't want to leave a giant plate of food untouched at the table and look rude, so I took it home and gave it to someone else. For $31, I really didn't think it was worth it. The shrimp and scallops tasted like they came straight from the frozen section, and the tomatoes had that oily, jarred quality to them. Everything just seemed to be sitting in oil. The cavatelli itself was slightly overcooked, although I'm more forgiving of that because the shape can have a little variation in texture. But the grease was just too much. So overall, I think this is one of those places where I really want to love it because the atmosphere is fantastic, but the food just didn't justify the prices for me. The mussels were genuinely good, but that's about where my excitement stopped. I could definitely see myself coming back to sit at the bar, have a drink, and chat with friends because the space is really lovely. But if you're coming specifically for the food, I'd temper your expectations. Beautiful restaurant, lovely atmosphere, nice staff. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting or the price for me.
