Came here with my coworkers. We got seated pretty quickly even though we were a big group. They didn't serve alcohol even though they have alcohol on the menu they showed us. Food was okay. I got the jalapeño bowl which wasn't spicy at all. The chorizo was good well though.

Went here for brunch after checking some good reviews. We were seated right away and there seemed to be a lot of people in the restaurant, which is a good sign to me! However, I was wrong. We immediately noticed the table was very sticky, so much so that my phone stuck to it. We couldn't tell if it was washed in maple syrup or just dirty!We ended up ordering symphony crepe and chicken omelette with juices (the juice was fantastic!). The crepe was very good, except we asked for no strawberries and there were a couple in there. The cross contamination is dangerous if someone had an allergy, which is common with strawberries. The chicken omelette was good, but lacked any salt or seasoning, so I had to add it myself. We also did not have our waters refilled during the meal after the waitress walked past us multiple times.The most frustrating part was the 3.25% surcharge added on the bill "due to rising costs"! It did say we can ask to have it removed, however the menu said nothing about this. If your business cannot run without adding unadvertised fees then your business shouldn't be operating. If anything, they should be increasing the cost of their food. This is false advertising. It is require by law that a restaurant menu show all costs associated with a purchase minus tax. With only two small meals, the total cost was over $60! This was very disappointing and we will not be returning after this.

The reviews listed this as a go-to spot, and I couldn't have been less disappointed. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which my friend said was good and a safe bet. I asked for the eggs to be scrambled instead of sunny side up. Our server behaved oddly and rarely checked on our table. The waffles had some bizarre herb mix; I assume they were going for a savory spin. The chicken strips were hard and overcooked, drowning in a bacon marmalade that was less than desirable. The waffle was too soft, and the flavor profile was trash. Now to the eggs. I asked for scrambled but not with a side of eggshells. I tried my best to eat it, but it was absolutely disgusting! After my friend and I had eggshells for brunch, it soured the meal. The server couldn't have cared less. Chicago has excellent food, and Meli and the gang need to revamp this dish.

They had a lot of options and portions are a good size. The orange juice didn't taste great for fresh squeezed. They are attentive with water refills. Hash browns could've been cooked longer. The panini and eggs benedict were good though. French toast was unmemorable.

A really good breakfast cafe. It has many common breakfast favorites. Meli often gets a big crowd especially on weekends. Certainly it gets annoying having to sit and wait but that's a good sign this place is ass kicking. The menu contains some surprisingly healthy choices including plant based stuff. I came with the girl at breakfast. Lunch time they're also open but the breakfast menu is the way to go. This has most of their best options. Pancakes are many peoples' favorite. They really pile then load these up. It can be hard for a vegan at breakfast. Most places have nothing for you. Awesomely this does. This is also beyond just the avocado toast. Prices are okay. They're average to kind of high but you get big portions. I was able to snag us a table at breakfast. We got the Vegan Pancakes. It's $15 for a few. These are topped with bananas and strawberries. Good and fluffy. They didn't skimp. Good for anything you can get at breakfast. It gets crowded so make a reservation. There may not be much trouble for a couple people but larger parties should call ahead for a table.

My sister was in town, and my older sis recommended this place. The interior was lovely and had a kind of a Greek feel, which made sense considering we were in Greek town west loop. For us, it was more about spending time with the fam, so the food was honestly secondary. Everything was just ok. I got the chicken and waffles, which were ok, and the cook Basil into the waffle, which I'm not sure I like. For some reason, I like my chicken waffles to be simple, or if you're going to do more, make sure that it's a compliment to the sweetness. I don't think the basil balanced well, but that's just me. Maybe someone else will like it. Also, as no bacon comes on the chicken and waffles, and being that I don't eat pork, I would have liked to have known that. I was able to pick it off and enjoy but just a bit for anyone who may be interested in this dish at this location. The hashbrowns were nothing to be excited about. I would have suggested it be a bit crispier. My sisters enjoyed their food but again, nothing to get overjoyed over. The Salmon looked terrific. The wait staff was sweet and attentive. Overall it was an ok meal with excellent family time.For that, I give them 2 1/2 stars out of 5

I'm only giving 3 stars because I went for breakfast and eggs were bad but bacon and mocha and hot chocolate were delicious. Also waitress seemed really stressed out. Was nice looking attached to a hotel. Maybe other meals are better. This was a simple breakfast. Who knows

Nice place for breakfast when you are on the South side. Food is decent with a varied menu. Really like the selection of freshly made juice drinks. A bit pricey and service efficient and could be more welcoming. Enjoy!

I've been there a few times but it continues to disappoint. Waitress definitely either stressed or just not friendly. Egg sandwich was tasteless and toast was burnt. They forgot my smoothie and finally brought it out as I finished my meal. She did give me $2.00 off, but never apologized for the oversight. I did ask that they not add the 3.5% service fee and they obliged. Definitely my last time eating there - better food elsewhere.

We were traveling from out of town and I called beforehand to make sure it was okay to take our luggage in. The person who answered said it was fine. We get there and the lady who was at the host desk seemed irritated that we had our luggage. She ended up being our server and was rude the whole time taking our order. There was another party of 8 and she was polite and friendly to them the whole time. Upon getting our food my moms egg Benedict had a hair in it and it was stuck in the English muffin so we knew it was from the cooks. We politely asked the server if she could have a fresh plate and the server at that point began to be nicer to us. When they brought the new eggs Benedict my mom didn't mention to me that the English muffins were burnt until after eating a bit of it, but I didn't think that was acceptable. You would think after sending a plate with hair they would send a plate with everything well cooked. It seemed as though the cooks were upset we had sent the food back or something. I let the server know that we were not happy and thankfully she agreed to take the eggs Benedict off the bill. But regardless, overall shitty experience. Would not return and do not recommend unless you want hair in your food and rude service.
