Meghan Preuss: Love it! Service was great and food/cocktails were awesome. Love the chicken nuggets, wasabi hamachi roll and sizzling rice.

ISC Chicago: Japanese Breakfast (Fluffy, wobbly, panda-monium pancakes with matcha butter and Okinawan black sugar syrup)

Scott Kleinberg: I am a total hot chocolate snob, and I can tell you that the salted caramel hot chocolate is stunningly wonderful.
Lauren Bass: The sea salt caramel and fudge sundae is amazing, and perfect to share with 3 people!

Dana Jensen: We were here for the Christmas dinner, which was lovely. Good bartenders, excellent steak, and an incredible beet salad. Perfect portion sizes.
Brock Wanless: If having brunch, order the signature Travelle Benedict for a delicious combo of eggs Benedict, lobster, spinach, and potatoes!
M. Katie Hunter: Eric and James are true gentlemen -- the bar staff here is unparalleled. Come in on Thursday nights for a signature cocktail and to listen to the live lounge act! They take requests!

Steph Lehocky: Ask the desserts are delicious especially the banana cupcakes! The atmosphere is wonderful for family and friends.
Angie K: try the red velvet cupcake. it's heavenly.
Time Out Chicago: They had us at hello, those dreamy, creamy cupcakes. This bakeshop may have cornered the market with simple little cakes slathered in a colorful array of buttercreams but there’s more to salivate.
