"A restaurant town in the truest sense of the term, Chicago extends far beyond Polish sausage, deep-dish pizza, and world-class steaks. Thanks to corner vendors and legends like the original Pizzeria Uno, Gino's East, Gene and Georgetti, and Morton’s, thos..."

"This unique coffee house, full of hip, colorful decor, provides the perfect backdrop for eye-opening breakfasts. Each dish has a creative twist, such as raspberry cheesecake hotcakes, pumpkin pancakes with toasted pistachio praline butter, and decadent gi..."

"A study in contrasts, the Bongo Room takes what's best of urban and rustic and crunches it into a tiny, hipster masterpiece: think pistachio painted walls meets exposed brick meets experimental artwork meets fuzzy murals of fruit. The motif may feel schiz..."

"The egg dishes also win rave reviews, and some claim the eggs benedict to be the best in town. Or go dressed up with the Roasted Red Pepper Feta Benedict and the BLT Benedict, topped with applewood smoked bacon, baby spinach, tomato and basil-pesto hollan..."

"Just blocks from the museum campus, this Bongo Room outpost shares the exposed brick, grass-colored walls, and stainless-steel accents of its sister on Milwaukee. The food's the same at both places too--a good thing when that means delicious variations on..."

""It's entirely worth the wait," says one Rater of this frequently jam-packed breakfast and lunch spot. The weekday menu offers what seem to be standards-- pancakes, omelets, sandwiches--but the pancakes might be s'more-banana flapjacks (with chocolate ang..."

"Unfortunately, the rest of the menu was sort of a tease; the descriptions touted heavenly ingredients and unique pairings, yet the reality of these dishes failed to live up to our great expectations. The banana and strawberry sundae cream hotcakes were de..."

""This much-loved brunch spot always had a big crowd waiting in front, whether it’s rain or shine, freezing cold or oppressively hot. I finally made it here on a weekday (when I was able to snag a table right away) and tried the banana macadamia panc..."

"If you've had a late night going out in Wicker Park, chances are you've ended up at Estelle's at some point. North, has been open since the 1930s, and is kind of the antithesis to the sleek new modern nightspots opening in the neighborhood...."

"A water-main break shut down Room 12's operation for most of 2005, giving the owners the opportunity to re-concept the South Loop eatery. Instead of going back to the drawing board, they transformed it into Bongo Room South, mimicking their super-successf..."
