Best Brunch Restaurants in Little Italy / University Village

I love the Oakville. It’s a good vibe. I wish their portions were a little bigger but it tracks for what California cuisine is so I’m ok with it. I’m a regular.

We had brunch this AM, primarily to redeem some LEYE GCs. It’s like an annual pilgrimage for me, and my wife is a regular. We noticed the Carajillo on the menu, which was a pleasant surprise. We ordered our usual dishes: Smoky Garlic Hummus and Khachapuri. For the 1st time, we tried the Potato & Onion Frittata, and it became our favorite. The Halva dessert was beautifully presented and tasted delicious as well. It was also our 1st time trying it.

I had the pleasure of having a business lunch at Bar La Rue in Chicago recently, and it was a memorable experience. My colleague and I decided to share a cheeseburger and a lobster roll with frites, accompanied by diet cokes. The ambiance of Bar La Rue is perfect for a business meeting, with a chic and comfortable atmosphere that allows for easy conversation. The service was attentive and prompt, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. As for the food, both the cheeseburger and lobster roll were exceptional. The cheeseburger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, with a delicious blend of toppings. The lobster roll was a standout, with tender, succulent lobster meat perfectly complemented by a light, buttery roll. The frites were crispy and seasoned just right, adding a delightful crunch to our meal. Overall, Bar La Rue exceeded our expectations, making it an ideal spot for a business lunch. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Chicago. In fact, I was so impressed that I plan to return soon with my wife to try their dinner menu.

The food is excellent and exceeded my expectations. Ambiance was great and views were incredible. Service was excellent too. I will definitely be back!

Great and classic. Thank you. Well presented food and delicious. Great NA cocktails. Wonderful experience.
