Our 2nd experience at this establishment. 1st was last month/year after Zoolights. We brunched this afternoon. Finally, got my hands on the French Toast (had it at their sister restaurant in Oak Park about 2-3 years ago). Wifey opted for Huevos Con Chorizo. Both were good. The complimentary Tortilla Soup was delicious too. The kitchen forgot to add Chorizo to the entree (believe it was a miscommunication as we requested a mushroom addition to the entree). The management comped us a side of Chorizo + a round of Cocktails (totally unexpected!!!!). We had trouble using the OpenTable Dining Reward Mastercard. Our server, Gracie, was patient and accommodating. We ended up paying using the credit card.
