What to get
- Quinoa-lentil bowl with turmeric-soaked eggs
- Stout waffles with mascarpone
- Espresso martini, or the ginger-lemongrass sipping broth
- $9 Vesper or dirty martini
- $2 oysters with mignonette
When to go
It is open 8 am–10 pm every day, so weekday mornings are the easy way in; book weekend brunch on OpenTable. Infatuation says the room is small and best for two or three people, not a big group.
Insider tip
Chef Julia Jaksic's West Side sibling Roze Pony (5133 Harding Pike) does souffle pancakes and is on Eater's 38; her newest spot, Bar Roza, opened in downtown's Arcade in June 2026.
Heads up
