Beatrix Market

The food is super expensive and pay by weight type of deal. The layout is cramped. You are constantly getting bumped into while making your salad. The workers are all super friendly and helpful. It's practically a zoo from 12-1.

loved this cute restaurant near the river. our server was amazing, the food was so well seasoned (along with all the dips) and my favorite part was that there were hooks to put your purse on!!! would definitely recommend, especially if you want a little pastry or coffee after lunch.

Great place for food in DT Chicago. Ordered the Thanksgiving package for 8, which came with three full trays of sides (stuffings, grilled vegetables, mash), rolls, fantastic gray and cranberry sauce. So, why three stars then? Unlike what's advertised on their homepage, the turkey tray actually had half tray of turkey and minus the skin.... This went down real fast and felt a bit unsatisfying knowing how different this was when compared to the marketed materials....

I came to Beatrix with two of my girlfriends for a lil galentines dinner. The atmosphere was a little quieter than we expected. It felt empty even though most of the seats were occupied.But the service was super quick. Once we ordered, we got our food within 10 min (maybe even less). I remember I was so shocked, I thought they had accidentally brought out an order which was supposed to be for another table.I had tried Beatrix before and recalled feeling a bit underwhelmed but I ordered the chicken bebe this time and it hit the spot. The chicken was doused in a thick white wine sauce with 3 stalks of asparagus laid across and coated with Parmesan. The portion was MASSIVE. I was STARVING and ended up eating like 75% of it but this had to be at least like 7-8oz of chicken.We also ordered a chocolate cake after. One of my friends thought it tasted pre-frozen but my other friend and I enjoyed it. It was super rich in flavor and quite fudgy, tasted like a brownie. I also grabbed a decaf hazelnut oat mocha which was delicious although definitely on the sweeter side (but like duh).Overall, I think Beatrix is good bang for your buck and would come again. Maybe for brunch because their coffee menu is so extensive!

Visited for dinner on a weeknight, did you know they have a M-F happy hour till 6pm? You may have to ask for the menu... But it's well worth it. They have a tri-category drinks list with everything ranging between $5-8.Dinner selection is solid too. We settled for the Avocado Ceviche appetizer & the Green Chilli & Chicken Enchiladas-- which to my surprise were both good. Though I swear the lemony-lime spritz totally masked the taste of fish (if there even was any in there).So here's my breakdown based on our order:DO:· Split the Avocado Ceviche app (feeds 2-3)· Order a happy hour drink (the Sango Red & Pour Decisions were our favorites)· Do signups for the Lettuce Eats app to gain loyalty pointsDON'T:· Get the espresso martini HH drink (it's cute but more coffee than booze)The ambience of this location is great, cozy indoor temperatures and the smell from lobby's coffee bar adds a nice touch. I definitely revisit them.

Came to Beatrix market with two coworkers for lunch today and honestly it was giving me the old Foodease vibes that used to be in Water Tower prior to Covid as a help yourself salad bar and hot bar. It has an array of salad fixings and some hot bar food that you can dine in or take out. We got at the the tail end of the lunch time shift and left when there where only a few left. I'm hoping to stop and get lunch and sit outside when the weather gets warmer - their patios chairs are waiting to be put out - just need the sun!

Think of a fancy Starbucks with menus and table service and many more couches and seating areas where they also add a 3% surcharge on your bill ... and you have Beatrix.The food selections are very nice, very good coffee, and the seating pushes it over the top. My only complaint was the surcharge because that is the mark of a place who doesn't pay its employees a living wage. Still recommended...

For a hot-bar style lunch spot, there are really very few hot bar options. Just the side wall had maybe five or six hot plates and they were all empty. Clearly not a focus for the kitchen.And what hot food was there was quite standard and bland. Almost reminded me of what you'd get in a school cafeteria or the like.Conversely the salad options were great. Tons of different types of lettuce or fillings with a wide variety of toppings and dressings. So if you're just looking for a pricey salad, it's a good option. There are better lunch options in my opinion.

Salads were great! Loved the selection and everything I ate was delicious. Perfect lunch spot.

Choose your own adventure.This seems to be the idea behind the Lettuce Entertain You Beatrix Market concept; diners here can go a million different directions in crafting their own salads.There truly is a plethora of options for every taste. I can only speak to my favorites: the roasted Chinese eggplant is tangy, sweet, and truly delightful. The roasted mushroom salad is deeply savory, its flavor pleasantly verging on bitter with a touch of salt. I find the Asian vinaigrette to be the perfect complement to the chopped romaine salad mix, and also recommend the tastefully mild tofu cubes as a textural foil.My salad and drink put together rang up to just under $20. That's pretty reasonable, and I don't mind splurging a little for such outstanding culinary variety.Overall, Beatrix Market is an unbeatable grab-and-go spot for anyone on lunch break in the Loop.
