Just went for brunch again. Delicious We love the little Gem salad. The lardon dish we had with eggs was creamy and delicious. I'm normally not a fan of very soft cooked eggs, but the texture really added to the dish. Potatoes were good but a bit salty. Service was friendly but pretty slow Definitely a good choice in the area.

Amazing brunch and the beignets are so scrumptious! They are great to share and come with an espresso creme sauce. I was here the other day and got the breakfast plate. The crispy house potatoes are really good. Marisol is a nice spot to dine, especially if you are also going to visit the museum or the gift shop. Overall great experience!

Marisol is located inside the Museum of Contemporary Art. I had been to the outdoor jazz a few Tuesday nights in the summer and enjoy the vibe around the MCA, so I was excited to try it. I was with a few friends, and we were seated by the colorful murals which was enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and gave good recommendations, but it was SUPER busy the Saturday we went. I think they forgot to put in the order because we kept getting told "a few more minutes" until almost an hour and a half had passed. We also ordered 2 appetizers but they never came so we just canceled the order. When the main course ultimately arrived, the staff apologized for the delay. I was relieved that the food was delicious. I ordered buttermilk pancakes, which had an incredibly fluffy texture and flavorful cinnamon butter on top--some of the best I've had in the city. I tried the breakfast plate as well which was okay overall but a tad overpriced for what you get. The potatoes were crispy and flavorful. I would've given this place a 4.5 for the food, ambiance, and staff but unfortunately the huge delay was a nuisance.

Located in same building as Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. We were served by the wonderful Matty. He was amazing, attentive and helpful. Answer our zillion questions with patience and kindness. Crispy fried chicken sandwich with calamansi aioli. MCA burger is cheesy havarti on challah bread with their secret sauce. Steam Mussels is fresh in tomato and pancetta. Delivered fresh daily.

Beautiful restaurant located on the ground floor of the Museum of Contemporary Art. Lovely murals and color-scheme accenting the airy space. The menu is wide and varied and includes choicesFor everyone. There's chicken, seafood and vegetarian options. The dishes are plates attractively. The only thing keeping this restaurant from a five rating is their shortage of servers, who sometimes are bartender's too. They are very friendly and knowledgeable about their food, but stretched too far

This place is criminally underrated. I came to experience its brunch menu for restaurant week and was blown away. The food was spectacular for an amazing price. The cod with its mild flavor soaked all the richness and savory deliciousness of the braised butter bean. Each bite was delightful with a hint of fennel and the tartness of the green apple mojo was tantalizing and compelled me to savor every moment. Honestly this might be the first time that I could genuinely feel the food dancing on my tastebuds. I'd love to come back here and try their full menu, and the fact that it's tucked inside the MCA makes it a perfect date on Tuesdays.

Went for brunch. Really interesting brunch options like polenta and this avocado latke. I was between the latke and the breakfast sandwich the waiter said the latke was his favorite so I went with it. It was delicious and unique! It looks small but was filling. However, pairing it with the beignets for the table was a good call. Just a little pricey ($18). Would come back again! Love the aesthetic of the place too.

I had made plans to come here right before covid came. Marisol stayed closed throughout the duration of the pandemic, and I honestly didn't think Marisol was going to reopen. Covid came and gone, and Marisol reopened. We made reservations but it seemed like we didn't need one. The dining area is very spacious with a lot of empty tables and remained that way throughout our meal. My wife ordered their Burrata dish. It came with Burrata cheese, pomegranate, kumquat and greens with a side of sourdough toast. Not what I would call a traditional breakfast or brunch type dish, but it tasted fresh and delicious. A perfect way to start a day to be honest. Not too heavy, and very healthy. I ordered their breakfast sandwich. Now this is on the heavier side and was defeated with this sandwich. The button bun was too moist to pickup and eat like a regular sandwich. Had to use a knife and fork. But it was a very delicious sandwich. It came with sausage, eggs, harvarti, cheddar cheese, and apricot pepper jam. I'm glad I finally made it down here. I'm not quite sure when I'll make it back, but I'll definitely keep it on my list.

Private room is a great place for a group dinner. Staff is amazing and the food worthy of the art museum setting. I think the first course- with sunflower hummus and incredible crackers may have been my fave. Roasted carrots, no longer on the regular menu, were also amazing. Soughdough pasta was freshly made, perfectly cooked, served with yummy hen of the wood mushrooms which seem to be showing up on menus more often lately. Marisol salad and branzino were just ok. But the kitchen came back strong with an incredible chocolate-passionfruit tart topped with crunchy crumbles and a honeycomb cookie- wow, just wow.
