On mother's day weekend We walked in around 12:30 pm and were immediately seated on the patio, surrounded by beautiful purple tulips, it was the perfect setting. The food was absolutely amazing, and the coffee was unlimited, rich and flavorful. Our server, Jake, was incredibly helpful and made the experience even better. Don't miss the crème brûlée it was perfectly done and full of flavor. I'll definitely be coming back. A must-visit spot for brunch lovers! Thank you Jake

This is a new and much needed business In the area.

Jesus and Jason really know what they are doing and they both work hard to give all players what the skills they need to succeed in the sport. There is decent amount of space for a place within the city and the rates are very reasonable. They make the experience not only rewarding but fun for the players they work with, and you can really see the difference in the kids they work with. Great place with great people. I'd you are lo ok I go for a place to get some swings in on the northwest side definitely give this place a look.

Gorgeous health club!! My friend belongs here and I joined her for dinner at the restaurant/grill…read more The food was tasty and excellent service. I was given a 90 minute pass for dinner and they seem strict on the time. My friend also gave me a tour. It's an impressive space!! About 450,000 square feet, spanning across 2 full city blocks and 5 levels. They have everything you can think of: pools (4 pools!), saunas, restaurants, tennis, golf, basketball, boxing, group glasses, weights, machines, pickleball, spa, hair and nail salon, indoor running track, co-working space, and so much more. Beautiful artwork, pristine locker rooms and restrooms. Wow! High ceilings and so much space overall. Nothing felt crowded. Beautiful design and layout. I was in awe and very impressed.

(Kari's Rating 7.5/10)…read more TLDR -Up-to-Date equipment -Work from home spaces -Convenient Healthy Market Came with a friend to hang out on a Wednesday around 5:30pm to see what East Bank Club is all about. After seeing all the crazy amenities which were super cool with a ton of variety, I think the thing that surprised me the most is how up-to-date all of the equipment was and the variety of activities they had for people to enjoy. If you're looking for an all encompassing workout/work space, this is it! They have everything from full-size tennis courts, to a golf simulator-like set up,except you get to hit into an inflatable pillow! They also had plenty of Pickleball courts, and they offer so many different workout group classes.both a wet and dry, sauna, and tons of treadmills and free weights. I was also really impressed that they also had a physical training area. So think something that was my personal favorite and the best thing for Chicago Summers is a beautiful rooftop pool and lounge area. Not only did they have two outdoor pools (one for adults and one for kids) but they also have an indoor pool as well for winter as well as an indoor hot tub! They also had a common area workspace where people can come to take meetings and do their work from home gigs. You could practically move in here haha! As of right now, it is a $750 new membership fee as well as $295 a month, which is a pretty hefty chunk of change if you ask me considering most of the high rises around, have some kind of rooftop pool and workout area. It is cheaper if you join with a domestic partner or if you're between the ages of 16 and 29-see pic for current pricing. They also sometimes host social events which is super fun to meet everyone else in the club, but at the same time I think it is more of an investment in your future and your future health if you can afford it! I will not be joining at the moment, but hey-that could change anytime if I decide I should be on a health kick.

I came here for the rooftop restaurant Harvest. I had low expectations for the food. Everything we…read morehad was really good.

In a word: terrible. Other words: dirty, broken, rude. Including:…read more - Unsafe infrastructure. Floor literally shakes regularly. If there is a building in Chicago likely to collapse on you, this is it. - Operated for many, many months without a proper license to have their pool open for use. - The pool is constantly leaking into the weight room on the floor below. Every time I work out there is a pile of towels in a different location, buckets catching water from the pool a floor up, areas sequestered off because the ceiling is falling in. - The roof is constantly leaking and instead of what seems like minimal effort to patch the roof, they rig up plastic sheets with clips and place buckets the leaking water flows into in the middle of the track. This is in multiple places and has been in place all winter long. - Generally dirty and gross everywhere. Have never not ever and would not: get in the pool, take a shower, use the sauna, or touch the floor with anything other than the bottom of my shoes. The equipment is disgusting. - All the broken things everywhere. Broken shower doors, broken equipment, broken chairs, broken clocks, broken coat racks. - A nonexistent class program. Every other gym I've been a member at has had decent to awesome group fitness options. Do not come here for that. For starters, they offer almost none. Those that they offer are often cancelled last minute without notice. This place isn't exactly teaming with fit staff... The fitness class spaces are very low quality. - The youth classes are a waste of money. I've paid a lot of money for a lot of different youth classes over the years. This is the only establishment where I asked for a refund for the swimming lessons and my kids begged me to not make them do tennis again. - They brag about the kids camp but it is highly over priced compared to what's out there. The cost initially sounds okay, but then you realize their "full day" is actually a "half day" and to get the rest of the day covered, you have to double the cost. Add to that I've never encountered a youth camp program with poorer communication. Why are we members (for now)? Because they are generally chill around here and we have a boatload of kids. They swim in the gross pool, climb on the shaking outdoor playground, have so far survived the childcare that is pure chaos, and once in awhile I can't find another camp to send my kids to (they complain the whole way there and back and I worry about their safety all day). Recently a new manager-like gal has started roaming the halls scolding families for "health violations" like giving their kids a snack from home. Set aside that anyone with kids understands this is an unreasonable expectation, it's a highly offensive public lashing given the clear health code violations the staff routinely ignore and their patrons have just resolved to deal with. Every time I come here, I see at least a half dozen new member tours in action. Anyone considering joining should do so with eyes wide open. The quality of this gym compares to the Lakeview YMCA, with the Y coming out the clear winner for cleanliness, customer service and cost. It goes without saying, if you don't have kids or like kids this is not the gym for you. Don't complain about the kids, just go to one of the countless other cool gyms where you won't see them. We haven't cancelled our membership yet and I won't bother raising these issues with management because every interaction I've had with them makes it quite clear the bar they've set for themselves is so low. But it's just a matter of time, and I have no intention of wiping down the equipment at an establishment so woefully neglected by the rude people collecting $500 from me every month.

I was disappointed with the club. I was a member for a few months with a good deal and had planned…read moreto come back in the winter if there's another good deal. The advertising for non member events are very restrictive and former members are excluded from non member events. I was informed over the phone by Jason and I think that its false advertising that its open to non members with unwritten requirements. There are some good deals in the winter and the gym was clean but once you are not a member, some of the staff do not appear to be very friendly or have customer service skills. I guess they don't want my business or return business again. I want to be part of a club where the staff is friendly and helpful whether or not I am a member.

This gym is pretty nice. It doesn't offer as many group classes as the one in Lincoln Park and…read moredoesn't have the same number of varieties either despite this location being much bigger. You could honestly spend half a day hanging out here. There's a golf simulator, a pool, and plenty of equipment. I love the basketball court, it might be the best indoor court in the city. They have pick up games M/W/F after work and occasionally Saturday mornings. The guys are friendly but can be overly competitive to the point that arguing over rules is fairly common. The guys working out are also friendly. I'm sad to leave this gym but it's no longer convenient. I'm also not a fan of how exclusive this gym can be. Their guest policy is stingy -- you get to bring in one person at a time for 5 times max. Other gyms offer way better guest policies that enable you to bring friends and significant others along.

The staff have all been very friendly and helpful. There is also a parents lounge (Glass) area to do work if needed with coffee and wifi. The entrance is on the back side of this enormous building, which is a little confusing but once you figure it out, there is plenty of parking. This was an epic find for us for the hot summer.

You can book lessons, events, and private courts via CourtReserve and their system makes it super easy to look at if events are full or not.

They also have water fountains, some drinks to buy, a small lobby, and paddles and equipment to purchase as well. The Rack and Play is great! You get to play with a ton of people and get a ton of games in. It's affordable too! I think too many new indoor places want to do all the bar/food/fad type of experience.
