    Self Serve! One of the most modern self-service restaurants I have been to. You get seated and then order at the counter. We ordered and our food literally came out 2 minutes later! They have cute bistro outdoor patio seating where dogs are allowed, and larger couch seating area in the back for larger groups or to casually work. The orange juice was fresh squeezed and delicious. I had the shroom omelette, hash browns (which I would've liked cooked a little more brown), and wheat toast. Everything was great! I'll definitely be back in the summer with my dogs.

    Vegan tomato basil soup, fries, Mediterranean salad.

    Well, this is crazy. I came here last Friday to meet a friend for lunch who I hadn't seen in ages, and it happened to be Good Friday. Apparently the first (and only other) time I came here was Good Friday last year to meet a different friend for coffee. I didn't realize it had been almost a full year since I had been here. I've been wanting to try their food because it always looks so good on Instagram, and I wasn't disappointed. My friend ordered the mediterranean salad and a side of berries and tea, and I ordered the vegan soup of the day (tomato basil) and a side of fries. The fries were probably unnecessary because I didn't read that the soup came with bread, but I ate all of them anyway because they're delicious. Service was great, and we sat there for almost 2 hours and they didn't kick us out (unlike last year, it wasn't that crowded this time. We came at 2pm, so it was not as busy of a time, I guess). We were in the restaurant part, and the vibes are great. As a note: for counter service make sure you tip, as they still have servers bringing out the food for you (it's not like Panera). I feel super bad because I didn't realize that it wasn't included in the price. (We had looked at a few different places online and both Bar Siena and Hampton Social include an 18% gratuity automatically, and I think my brain was thinking that Cupitol also does that. But they do not. So many places do that now, some of which still ask you for an extra tip, so it's hard to keep track). Next time I go I'll tip double. I will definitely be back because everything was delicious and omg their pastries look so good.

    Chicken B.L.T.A.

    - fine food, ok ambiance, kind staff - no reservation made or could be made - not looking to come back Went for a spontaneous brunch and I was not really thrilled with the overall experience. It all had felt too casual and self-serve - ordering at the counter with my assigned table hand-written, a water cup station, and no check-ins at all. This was just not what I was expecting from what I had heard. The food was ok, but overall underdelivered. For my meal, I had gotten the Chicken B.L.T.A. and Matcha Sparkling. The sandwich itself was fine, a standard combination of ingredients. The country white gravy was very runny and soaked the bread quickly, and the bread itself was already not toasted. Nothing really special that I noticed eating it. My drink was fairly plain too, would have preferred a green tea if I knew it would taste very watered down. Additionally, there wasn't much "sparkling" in it, as it was mostly flat. My girlfriend had gotten a bowl of Chicken Bone Broth that was served with some bread. The soup was very standard and had an ok amount of chicken chunks, but not that much of that or anything else. The chicken came out to be slightly dry too. The soup was served in a very wide bowl that was fun, but I understood why it is not too common. The soup quickly cooled and was no longer an enjoyable temperature halfway through, but it was still ok for dipping the bread in afterwards. Her drink was also nothing crazy, not much mint and just tasting like sweet and cream. Overall not that impressed with both the food and set-up for the brunch service. Potentially dinner is better from the experiences I have heard, but that sort of drastic difference is not something I find appropriate or exciting for any restaurant.

    The first time I went to Cupitol at the Old Orchard Mall, the experience was not great. I met a friend here for an early dinner and we stayed for about 2 hours. Within those couple of hours, a staff member came to check on us every 10 minutes (no exaggerations here). It was nice in the beginning since I knew they recently just opened this location, so they wanted to make sure they were providing great service. It became annoying. Our server kept asking if we wanted to order more food. It became irritating. Fast forward to a couple of months, I met up with former colleagues here. It was great to know that they offer Happy Hour food and drinks. For both visits, I've tried: SPREAD TRILOGY- all components were good BLUEBERRY LEMON PANCAKE- delicious FALAFEL BURGER- good flavors but it was overcooked CORTADO- good ESPRESSO MARTINI- great APEROL SPRITZ- good Overall, the second visit was better. We were not interrupted every 10 minutes by anyone. Our server was attentive, pleasant, and efficient. The place is clean, and parking is a hit or miss since this mall can get really busy. This location is a good meeting point for my friends and I. Now that we know they have good Happy Hour deals, we will be coming back for more GNOs for sure. 'Til next time!

    Ambience- great- very modern Service - average- need improvement. Slow Food- average- was nothing special. Small serving size. Presentation of salad was good, but greens were not cut and that showed laziness of staff for preparing as simple as salad. Pictures look better than taste Not sure if i will go there again. There are Better places around the mall to go to

    Paccheri Pasticio
    Angela L.

    Sat down for a first date at the Old Orchard location. I'd been to the Evanston one before for a coffee on the run. This one is larger and nicely appointed. Very friendly staff upon entering was seated immediately. Slightly chilly inside but it was a cold wintry evening. Started with the cinnamon tea to warm me up, wait staff was delightful and attentive in refilling it with fresh hot water and little side of honey for me. It was delicious and perfect. I decided on ordering the Paccheri Pasticio. Perfect! The truffle laced bechamel was to tie for. Stop in, see know I will be again, sans date... but for the food and drink.

    We had an amazing experience at The Cupitol restaurant @cupitoltherestaurant in Skokie at the Old Orchard Mall. The Cupitol is a casual restaurant with an elegant setting, excellent food, outstanding service, and dangerously good cocktails! This was for dinner; breakfast and lunch are "counter service". You order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. Our appetizers were the Athenian Toast and the Yaiyias Meatballs. Both were amazingly delicious. Our drinks were a Pineapple Tiki Tiki and Metaxa 1885 so refreshing and exhilarating! Braised Lamb Shank. A meltingly tender shank that had me at hello. You can't help but stare at the presentation before the aroma takes over your senses .... and must dig in. Served over a generous portion of whipped potatoes that sit on "bordelaise sauce" so rich you would want to order extra bread to lick every last bit off the plate. Faroe Island Salmon Seafood lovers would appreciate the intense flavor of this salmon with a moist and flaky interior. Prime New York Strip Steak A 12-ounce slice of meat lovers' heaven that was both succulent and delicate. Don't overlook the pasta dishes. They are fantastic! Here's what we tried: 1. Paccheri pasticio Their take on this Mediterranean comfort food is amazing. Shredded beef that melts in your mouth is stuffed into large pieces of cannelloni pasta. Prawns bisque linguine  The rich and intense flavor of bisque is used as a sauce for these large shrimp. Served over a bed of linguine with a hint of sauce that feels surprisingly light. And then comes dessert..... The Basque Cheesecake here is so decadent, it's out of this world. The caramel-like exterior and silky interior need nothing else to melt my heart, however, it's served with butterscotch and pecans The epitome of comfort food meets the elegance of fine dining at The Cupitol Restaurant! We highly recommend them!

    I attended their one-year anniversary celebration with my daughter. The event was on a Friday night and included various appetizers, pita chips and dips, desserts, and various cocktails. My faves were the potatoes, mojito, and tiramisu! There was even a DJ playing tunes. The event was nice and the staff were very friendly. It was lovely of them to celebrate with their patrons. My daughter is already asking to go back.

    Great servers and good food for quick and nice ambience. Their croissants and lattes are great. The chicken in the salad is too dry. I had a melt in your mouth lamb shank and highly recommend that dish if you are looking for a homey meal

    I recently had light dinner at Cupitol Old Orchard and maybe that is not the first place that you think to have dinner at because of its popularity for breakfast. The dinner here was as good as well. I had the Cobb salad and it was fresh, well mixed and tasted very very good. I also tried one of their hot teas and was impressed by the variety and beautiful presentation. Service was very friendly and I enjoyed my dinner. The interior is very nicely decorated, tables are well spaced so everyone has room and it's easy to hold a conversation as it's not too loud.

    Stopped in for a quick meal, and had a lovely time. You order at front, take your number and head to a table, where they'll serve you your food. I had a tasty bfast croissant sandwich and matcha latte, my colleague had a yummy staple bfast w eggs, sausage, toast, hashbrowns. Service was lovely. It's cute and cozy inside, this feels like a solid addition to the mall and I will be back!

    Cupitol is a very mediocre, cookie-cutter brunch spot. You don't get waited on; instead, you walk in, receive a number and a menu, wait in line to order at a kiosk, then seat yourself and wait for your food. Everything is self-serve, even your water and condiments, so it definitely has a fast food feel, in that respect. I am hopeful that this is not the direction that sit-down restaurants are going in; however, I understand this is a casual place and it's nice not to have to worry about tipping sometimes. Unfortunately, my food was marginal and nothing stood out. Everything was just okay, and I probably won't be returning.

I took half home because it was a lot for me. My hubby had the shawarma sandwich, but I don't have a photo because he ate it right away. He said something about the onions that made it taste so good with that bread. We also bought more bread to bring home. We will go back soon. Our waitress was very polite. The only thing I didn't like was the Tabbouleh salad. It was too soggy with the vinegar they add, I think. I like it more dry. I will add a few photos of the food items.

In a world where most spots are jacking up prices while lowering quality, this place is sticking to the New York gold standard. The line is a total marathon. You're going to wait, and it's going to be a while--but that's the tax you pay for food that actually has a soul. Don't let the deli line distract you. It's white noise.
