Beatrix is a fantastic escape from the standard conference center fare. After a long night, the Migas Egg Scramble provided exactly the kind of flavorful, high-protein start that was needed to get through the day. The Hazelnut Oat Mocha was a great pairing--rich and well-balanced. It was also good to see the variety at the table; the Eggs Your Way, Lemon Pancakes, and Overnight Oats all looked like solid, well-prepared options. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal, making for a seamless experience. If you're looking for a reliable breakfast spot in Chicago that feels a bit more intentional than the usual hotel or convention options, this is a winner. read more

Not worth the hype. First thing you notice is that the waiting area was designed by someone who had no idea how ergonomics and use of space works. No one fits and you end up standing next to a revolving door that tries to hit you every time someone comes in. They also have a tiny waiting area in a walled off space on the side but they decided to put a table there too. Genius (not really). Be ready to wait because for some reason everyone decided this was a hot spot. Forget getting there after 9am if you want to wait less than 45-60 minutes. The tables are jammed together, the service is SLOW and the food is expensive and really not all that special. Save time and money and go somewhere else. read more

Food was good, but the brunch menu looked a lot more appealing to me than the lunch menu. Our son got lemon pancakes and they were incredible. Husband got mushroom quinoa burger and it was good, our son ate all the fries before I could try them. He said they were good. I had the A salad and it was great. We sat on the patio which is nice. read more

The main reason I am giving 4 stars is that I made a reservation for this restaurant at 1pm for 2 people and we showed up on time. The host told us that the waiters were cleaning up the tables and that we would be seated shortly. I probably saw about 3 or 4 parties that showed up after us that got seated before we did and we had to check with the hostess again about 15-20 minutes after our reservation time to see if our table was ready. She seemed embarrassed like she had forgotten about us and quickly sat us as soon as we checked in with her the second time. Once we were sat, we ordered iced lattes and chimichurri steak and eggs for brunch. The food was great. Steak and eggs were cooked well. The coffee was delicious. I ordered a mango orange and pineapple juice that had a weird taste to it. I took a couple sips and didn't finish it. Overall the food was good and the server was nice. No complaints. read more

I love it here!! Truly the best gluten free bread I have ever tasted. I asked our server if I should get the gf hot honey fried chicken sandwich or the chimichurri steak and eggs and he said hands down as a gf person get the sandwich because they have a great bun here. He did not lie!! Best bun ever! Does not taste gluten free even though from the look of it, it looks dry and disgusting. It was perfect, it did not crumble and was buttery goodness! Best gf sandwich I've ever had Next time I visit Chicago I will be back! read more

What a busy place for a Sunday brunch! They're clearly doing something right here, since every table was filled and there was a constant flow of in and out traffic. Our server was very kind and, while it was busy, you never felt like you were forgotten about, though our food did take a little longer than I would've expected, but I chalk that up to the fact they were so busy. The meal itself was great! I ordered their Ranchero Breakfast Burrito, which is a decent size and is relatively "healthier" for a breakfast burrito. It comes with eggs, a little cheese, poblano peppers, black beans, sweet corn, and quinoa. I loved the salsa that comes with the burrito and, while they didn't give me a choice for a side with breakfast, the pineapple covered in tajin was a great and unique twist! I would recommend this place if you haven't been, and I'd certainly stop back when I'm in Chicago next! read more

I went to Beatrix for brunch and had a great time! Right away the ambiance was super lively, and you could tell this was the place to go for a Sunday brunch. It We had a reservation and got seated right away, which was nice (recommend making reservations if you can) I wanted an omelette, but it wasn't on the menu besides an egg white omelette. The server was helpful and still made it work for me. The omelette was really good. I recommend adding onions, they made it taste a little sweet!! My meal also came with hash browns, toast, and bacon which were also very tasty!! Overall, it was a solid brunch spot and I would go back. read more

Had a great experience at Beatrix. Came on a Saturday morning around 9am and there was no wait. The place is a pretty good size inside. Service was perfect. They offer a seperate gluten free menu, which is quite large. I tried the Gluten Free bacon, egg, cheese breakfast sandwich with a side of hashbrowns. My husband got the same sandwich but the non gluten free version and added sausage and side of pancakes. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The hashbrowns were nice and crispy, which I prefer. The gluten free bun was better quality than other places I have tried. I will be back to try more options in the future! read more

What a cute place for a quick lunch! Gus was my server and couldn't have been any better! Quick with my order and delivering my Prime Cheeseburger and fries. I'm in from Phoenix to attend a conference. This is my 5th and final day. I was tired of sitting at bars and eating. They sat me in a great spot and made me feel welcomed. I can tell they have a great following! If she's there please ask for Gus! She'll take great care of you! read more

Love Beatrix, everything from the restaurant, the market to the coffee cafe. The restaurant has a casual and intimate ambulance. The service is always great. My favorite meal at the restaurant is the ham and Swiss croissant with the side salad. It's delicious and love the sauce with it. For the market you can choose from so many choices and there is something for everyone. I love the cookies and angel food muffins at the coffee cafe . read more

Enjoyed a celebratory dinner at Beatrix - the restaurant has an elegant modern and earthy feel to it. While it seems to be more known for brunch, the dinner was incredible. I split the spicy rigatoni and green goddess salad with a friend which were delish. My favorite of all the dishes I tasted was the hot honey Brussels, so much flavor goodness, sweet, umami and spicy. I ordered the pour obsession drink which was nice and had a strong grapefruit flavor. Everyone absolutely loved the whipped feta, I thought it would be even better with some spicy oil or sauces to add extra flavor. The chocolate cake for dessert was amazing - very decadent and rich! We were seated quickly and service was great. read more

This might be one of those places you'd overlook unless a local tipped you off to it. From the outside, you'd probably walk by it. Inside it's trendy but unpretentious. Beatrix lets its food speak for itself and it does. In fact, we came here three separate times for dinner, brunch, and lunch. For dinner, the French onion short ribs were incredible. The meat was tender and extremely tasty. The Korean Fried Short Ribs were crispy, and not too spicy. It also came with a nice dipping sauce and side of cabbage. Even though it was dinner time, we were advised the Hazelnut Oat Mocha was excellent and it was (ordered it every time we came). For lunch, I opted for a wild mushroom teriyaki bowl and it was tasty, with a touch of sweet. A friend got the enchiladas and raved about that too. The variety of menu items was thoughtful. The consistent high quality ingredients were impressive. And the presentation was Instagram worthy. The service is good. You can easily split a bill using the table's QR code. There's a small bakery inside for people to grab and go. Teas and coffees are also available for takeout. Reservations strongly recommended because they were always busy. I recommend going and will be coming back! read more

We came for brunch and were very glad we had a reservation because it was extremely busy. Check-in and seating took a few minutes, which was understandable. Once seated, we ordered quickly and the food came out at a normal pace. The ambiance was really nice, cozy vibes with nice background music. The food and drinks were amazing. The almond milk cappuccino was excellent, the strawberry mimosa was delicious, and the lemon pancake was fluffy and perfect to share. The chimichurri steak and eggs were fantastic, and the bacon and eggs were great -- the bacon especially. Unfortunately, after our food was dropped, our server never came back to check on us. No follow-up, no drink refill requests, nothing -- we eventually had to get up and find him just to pay and leave. I saw him taking orders at nearby tables without stopping by ours. Our table was awkwardly placed in a corner near the waiting area, which may have contributed. He was very nice when we did interact with him, and it was very busy. Overall very delicious and glad we came!! read more

A server providing poor service and attitude has consequences, a poor tip (15%) and this review. From forgetting an order, delivering a wrong order and forgetting to bring a requested item then having a bad attitude towards their very nice and polite customers is unforgettable. After visiting a family member in the hospital and looking for a nice lunch, we had this unfortunate and expensive experience. We will probably go to this location again, but hope for a better experience. read more

The hot honey fried chicken sandwich is what gluten free dreams are made of I was so excited to learn that I could enjoy the sandwich because they don't fry anything with gluten in their fryers. I haven't had a fried chicken sandwich that good since I was able to eat gluten! It was juicy and crispy with hot and tangy sweet honey and a bright crunchy slaw. Ah-mazing. I also loved the comfortable and cute atmosphere. The layering of lights creates a bright and cozy environment. We had great service at Sunday brunch, but it was busier than Saturday morning when we got takeout. I also enjoyed the Greek yogurt parfait! I love when a simple thing is elevated with a twist. The yogurt included an orange blossom honey and a bruleed banana and berries. read more

So happy I stumbled upon this place while out walking with my cousin. The vibes are good! Spacious outdoor patio, and lovely and modern decorated interior. Friendly service and excellent food. Pristine restaurant and bathrooms. I loved everything I ate here! I started with spicy tuna crispy rice and it was so tasty and I wanted to drink the ponzu sauce. My cousin started with the hot honey brussel sprouts and they were delicious too. He also had the burger and loved it. I ordered the Baja chopped salad and added roasted salmon on top and it was cooked perfectly. My salad was so fresh and well seasoned. I had a mocktail to drink, the blueberry basil shake up and I loved it. Definitely adding this to my list of restaurants to come back to. read more

Food was not very good. Salmon bowl with quinoa -- salmon had no flavor, like not a touch of salt or pepper or any seasoning was added. The Korean chicken meatballs and Brussels sprouts were better, but not enough for me to recommend it to garner a revisit. Coffee was brought out after entree was brought out -- odd. When we had a break between the appetizer and entrées. read more

Came to this location with reservations on a Sunday afternoon We were able to still order breakfast. We were sat fairly quickly. The servers were attentive and kind while taking our order recommending the best options for us I did try the shashuka, however, it was a bit watery and the eggs were under cooked for my liking. The flavor was there with the spices, however, it was the eggs that were undercooked that I did not enjoy. The ambiance was busy and mid level noisy, however, we came in a small party of 4 and were still able to have a good conversation They do have a coffee shop attached to their restaurant that served coffee and tea. Overall great brunch spot for a sit down atmosphere read more

Visited on valentines day (forgetting it was valentine's day lol). Checked in and the hostess gave us an estimated time which ended up being like 10 minutes. We were seated with a booster seat but then changed to a high chair. We were given a child's menu and crayons for our 10 month old. They had a few specials and we got the spinach and artichoke dip that came with chips, celery, and carrots. We got the buttered pasta for our son. We continued look over the menu and i decided on the Parmesan Crusted Whitefish with a glass of Pinot Noir while my husband ordered the Faroe Islands Salmon with a glass of Chianti. The dip and child's pasta arrived. The dip had a nice crust and was flavorful. The pasta was simple but baby enjoyed it lol. My whitefish was cooked perfectly, moist, and super flavorful sauce. Nice portion size and the vegetables added a nice texture. My husband enjoyed his salmon and had no complaints. Overall we had a great experience with nice staff. read more

cute but subpar. NOMd: - avocado toast. had an offputting seafood flavor which was odd because there was no seafood product listed on the description. the sourdough was TOUGH. mid overall, couldnt get past that seafood hint. - breakfast sandwich. 1 star for the beautiful jammy eggs. negative 1 star for the hard as a rock sausage patty. ew. service, etc.: the staff were nice to us but not to each other. not sure if it was the brunch rush, but they were at each others throats. the inside space is huge and cute. however there were birds everywhere on the patio. im not from here so don't know if thats the norm or not. read more

This place was happened today on a Friday even with the severe weather in the city. It's essentially connected to the Northwestern Hospital buildings right off of Saint Clair. Easy to get to off of Michigan Avenue etc. We actually had a reservation which helped. We designed in the main dining room. There is a small market area that you can do take away. It did take a while for a server come reach us. We opted to have the turkey burger and the regular cheeseburger. I had some modifications requested and most of them were accommodated. One I think she misunderstood when I said putting the bread and butter pickles on the side because I received a side of pickles and they were also on the turkey burger. The turkey burger was good, but nothing extraordinary. It was two thin patties on a bun with all the toppings. The cheeseburger look pretty good. Both came with french fries. The service and check bags were pretty good overall, although there were some long lapse in between. We did not offer for dessert and I started eating the burger before I could take a photo. Seems like a good place for those visiting the hospital area. read more

I really thought this place had an all day brunch, but still enjoyed the lunch menu. Hot honey chicken sandwich is delicious and very filling. From the outside, it's a little difficult to tell how large this restaurant actually is, which is great because they're very busy, but there wasn't a long wait. They're participating in a restaurant week and had a really nice menu for that. Whipped feta is an appetizer that you should definitely try, the black truffle honey is delicious! read more

Happy hour deal is great! All the appetizers under "To Begin" section of the menu is only $9. Discounted drinks too. I saw a lot of people were getting the burger ($12 at happy hour), but I wasn't feeling like having burger so we got items from the regular menu instead. I really enjoyed the Parmesan crusted white fish, it was perfectly crunchy outside and tender on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. The beef kebab was okay. I loved the spicy tuna on crispy rice and honey glazed Brussels sprouts, but the kids didn't like those. I probably would not order the Korean chicken meat balls again, tasted like bad kung pao chicken to me. Caesar salad was well dressed and delicious, but I wouldn't add the steak next time because the steak was a bit sad. Service was good despite the restaurant being so busy. One small detail that really impressed me was the fact that they gave me real plastic tupperwares for my leftovers. No paper or foam boxes. I love that they're so environmentally conscious to give reusable containers. Good value. Good food. Good service. I would totally come back! read more

Update: Beatrix no longer in my top 5 (see my previous review from 9 years ago...). Whomp whomp. We were able to make a day of Open Table dinner reservation here after playing tourist on the architectural boat tour and arrived 10 minutes early, but still had to wait several minutes to be seated, despite many unoccupied tables. The rum cable car cocktail was nice, smooth, sweet, lightly citrusy, and balanced for $15. Our table shared the Korean chicken meatballs, which were served very hot and accompanied with micro greens, cilantro, and gochujang caramel. Now I know why that sauce was so sticky! The lime was a nice touch that elevated the flavors of the meatballs. For my entree, I tried the blackened fish tacos, which came with 2 hearty sized tacos, creamed corn, and tortilla chips and salsa. The fish itself was a little bland, and the flavors of the toppings kind of clashed. The almond slaw was out of place, and the crunch of the nuts was off putting. I welcomed the guac, but the pickled radish (?) was a little overpowering. I can't say that I recommend it. My husband got the prime burger bc he was excited for the house made giardiniera, but spoiler alert... he didn't care for the giardiniera, as it was a little on the raw side. My kiddos were happy with their go to choices of a cheeseburger and grilled cheese, and the value was great at $9.95 and came with a drink. Service was okay. Our waitress disappeared after taking our drink orders, so our drinks sat on the bar for a while. A-OK experience. I wanted to like it more. read more

We ordered drinks and our food was delicious! Next time we will come to check out the coffee. Btw- this place is opened on Thursdays. I made the edit suggestion bc it showed here on Yelp that it was closed when it's opened. read more

Conveniently located just off the mag mile this gem of a place is tucked away at a base of a tower. We went on a Saturday morning for an early breakfast to find out they do not open until 8 so we went for a stroll around the block to build up an appetite. We got back to the door and a line is already forming so this was a good sign. When we entered we were warmly greeted and seated. The restaurant is big and spacious and I liked the 80's rock music it was playing. Onto the food. 1) Eggs your way (kids menu) with chicken sausage. This was good. The eggs was not dry, nice smashed sausage patty (hint of sweetness/maple) and crispy hash browns. Did not disappoint! 2) chilaquiles verde - this was decent. Think saucy breakfast nachos. Normally I do not care much for tomatillos, but I thought this one was pretty good. I only wish it had a little more sauce to it or having an option for how I want the eggs cooked. They defaulted scramble whereas I would have preferred poached. It's still a solid dish. I would not hesitate to come back and try more from here. Don't skip out on this if you are looking for a brunch spot. Has something for everyone! read more

I've been to Beatrix quite a few times for brunch and it's always a solid choice. The ambiance is really nice, but it can get very busy on weekends. The Kennebec fries are a must every time.

We decided to give this spot a shot for Sunday brunch and had a really good meal. We had the shakshouka and the breakfast burrito. My breakfast burrito was good and on the lighter side, which is what I was looking for. My husband is a bit of a shakshouka aficionado and he said it was just OK. However, he typically likes spicier dishes and didn't feel like it was the full onions, peppers, and tomato experience that he was expecting. Overall, we had a good experience and would definitely come back. read more

This restaurant gives you cute cafe/lounge/restaurant vibes. I simply love the aesthetics of the place and how the furniture, lights, and paintings come together. They do sell alcohol during the morning and even offer some delicious mocktails. I had the steak and egg breakfast. The steak came with chimichurri on top. I truly appreciate them cooking my eggs and hash browns just the way I ask. This is one place where I went and they actually made my eggs over medium. The steak was delicious but a little tough. I didn't leave 1 crumb. The gentleman at the bar were nice. No complaints with the service. read more

A delicious New American restaurant! The vibes inside are classy and modern. I loved the dimmer lighting, which makes for a perfect date night. Our server was super kind and helped make yummy recommendations for our meal. We got the whipped feta, hot honey Brussels sprouts, green chili and chicken enchiladas, and pistachio crusted whitefish. The whitefish was outstanding with the perfect balance of citrus and umami. My friend and I were practically scraping the sauce off the plate! I also loved the brussel sprouts crunch - had such a nice tangy crispy glaze to it! The chicken enchiladas came with a generous amount of sauce that perfectly complimented the juicy marinated and shredded chicken inside. The feta was amazing and so creamy/smooth, and came with a unique and healthy seeded cracker I've never tried elsewhere. Overall, an amazing place if you're looking for a new American, guaranteed fantastic and filling meal! read more

last meal of our mother daughter chicago marathon long weekend in chicago! this was on my list to try, but we didn't get to it until the very last day...fortunately, lunch on a tuesday wasn't hard to snag a table! it was cold and raining outside, so the dark wooden furnishings made it feel very cozy inside on this mid-autumn day. there were many seasonal specials on the menu, including items with apples, pears, pecans and autumn harvest vegetables. mom ordered the mushroom and quinoa burger, the patty topped with swiss cheese and baby kale, with a side of kennebec fries. i chose the straight a salad, consisting of arugula, avocado, asian pear, asiago, almond and house vinaigrette dressing, and i added a roasted salmon for extra protein...i mean, i was still recovering from the 26.2 mi journey just 48 hrs prior...muscles were still in repair mode! we both took our time enjoying our respective entrees, recapped what a great weekend it was, and enjoyed the relaxing service at this local establishment. apparently this is a chain and they do serve brunch, so i hope to return to this cafe for brunch on my next visit to the windy city! read more
