We had a group of 5 friends and dined at Dawn AM prior to a visit to the Obama Presidential Center. Food and service were both excellent! It was a beautiful day and we were able to walk along the park to the center (15 minute walk). I would like to revisit both the Obama Center and Dawn AM. OVERALL an excellent experience

OMG I’ve literally been here every weekend since the Grand opening. This place brings me peace on the weekend. After a long work week this is my spot! My fav brunch spot in Chicago! Fish & grits OMG! French toast bites, banana pancakes are soooo good! Then BYOB, you make your own mixed cocktails & they have everything you need to make them! The staff is so professional. The owner is there & she check on each table to make sure you are good! To the owner it’s ok to relax you did your BIG ONE with this! I bring a friend every week lol! I might be the #1 customer! I love it and will forever support this place!

Excellent experience at the Evie. It has become a fast favorite location for a girls dinner or romantic night out. I have not yet had a disappointing item from the menu! Portions are reasonable, pricing is reasonable- especially for the quality of food- and the variety of the menu and exceptional execution keeps me coming back for more.
