I didn’t have a single complaint while I ate. Typically this environment would be what I call, “Not my scene.” Regardless, the food, service, and aesthetic were very pleasing. I appreciate intention and dedication. Clearly these qualities are present in the owner/manager of this fine establishment. Everyone ought to try it at least once, I’ll wager most will return.

We just moved back and love this hidden gem! Hits all the spots. Shop, dine, enjoy a glass of wine - so happy we’re “home!” - Charlie is just charming as all can be. Everyone is engaging. Kira remembered us and welcomed us back. Telling you 10/01

My experience at The Lunchroom was elevated by the exceptional service provided by Drew M. From the moment we arrived, Drew’s warm demeanor and impeccable interpersonal skills set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. His attention to detail, personalized recommendations, and genuine enthusiasm created a welcoming atmosphere. The Lunchroom itself is a unique gem, offering a blend of inviting ambiance and creative cuisine, but Drew’s outstanding customer service truly set it apart. He effortlessly balanced professionalism with a friendly touch, ensuring every aspect of our meal was perfect. It’s rare to encounter someone who genuinely enhances the dining experience, but Drew M. did exactly that. Highly recommend and will recommend to my friends!

I'm in town visiting Chicago for a conference and stopped by for a quick lunch. Kira and Saad were quick and helpful with service. I ordered the Gold Coast Tuna melt. The presentation was actually beautiful. The food didn't take too long and was delicious. There's also a small shopping space which has cute clothes and knick knacks while you wait or after you eat. Ill return and I Highly recommend!

The best Apple pie I’ve had in the city! A family recipe. We had the Cantonese chicken salad, avocado toast and grilled Brie with apple butter sandwich. Our server Drew was amazing - highly recommend!

We spontaneously stopped in to this cute little hidden gem to kill some time, decided to have a small bite. We had been here a few times previously checking out the unusual gifts, and clothing, but never to eat. My husband and I each had a soup which was delicious and after reading through the menu, we will definitely be back for some thing other than just soup. I highly recommend. This might become our new little hidden, local hideout.
