    Custom Daily Special: Loaded Avocado Wheat Toast
    Tiffany H.

    I'd definitely a say city front provides pretty solid meals. Sometimes they're hit or miss in terms of taste, but you'll definitely get a pretty substantial portion for what you pay and you'll always leave filling full. I prefer certain meals over others, specifically when certain companies do pop up, but that's with any Cafe. I'd suggest visiting when there is a special, which is typically during the middle of the week.

    It kills me the way they cook their burgers. They are half cooked waiting there in preparation for the busy lunch rush that will never come, then they put them back on the grill to order and squeeze all the juices out with a spatula meticulously every :30 seconds until you are left with a dry burnt hockey puck. To make sure the garlic aioli didn't put any "unnecessary" moisture back into my burger....they made sure to carefully put it on in a very thin layer that I would have never known was there had I not seen it spread on. To make matters worse, they give you a giant bun for your tiny dry hockey puck. Bun to meat ratio is definitely off. I had to take about two bites to even get to my patty. This place has potential being right in the middle of a large amount of high-rise buildings near the Magnificent Mile filled with hungry office workers sick of eating the same thing daily. It falls short though, not going to miss the food here.

    I have been a customer for a long time at your restaurant. Are we supposed to be tipping your cashiers?

    Absolutely insane experience. Make sure you get a reservation because this place gets booked up…read morequickly and rightfully so. My wife and I ordered the bone marrow to start and shared a single cheeseburger with the bacon and egg add on. The bone marrow with the marmalade on the side was amazing. I loved the thick toast they gave on the side. It was the perfect balance for such a rich dish. The burger is probably one of the best burgers I've had in my life. The bun was nice and fluffy, the burger was juicy, the bacon was thick and flavorful, and the egg was cooked to perfection. For a couple of bites, we threw a little bone marrow and the marmalade on the burger and it took it to a whole new level. The restaurant was small and comfortable. A tad loud with the music, but I didn't mind too much. I would gladly trade that for the delicious meal we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great burger. Just make sure you get a reservation early.

    Au Cheval is definitely worth trying if you're a burger fan. I ordered the single burger (which is…read moreactually two beef patties) and added the fried egg. The quality of the beef was excellent, and you can tell they use great ingredients. The burger was juicy, cooked well, and very rich. That said, this might be a hot take, but I felt like it was missing something. For all the hype, I was expecting more flavor. Personally, I think it could have used a little more sauce to tie everything together. While the beef shines, the overall bite felt a bit one-dimensional to me. It's still a very good burger and I'm glad I tried it, but based on the expectations, it landed in the "good, not life-changing" category. I'd absolutely recommend giving it a try and deciding for yourself, but for me it was just okay compared to the hype.
