"My friend is very picky and every time we go to brunch orders the same thing that is never on a menu - a simple bacon, egg & cheese sandwich. So many places have refused to make this for him. Sunny Side Up not only did so happily, but made it wonderfully (he reluctantly let me try a bite of the deliciousness)! The service was great, food was delicious, and the spot was very cute."

"An omelet was made incorrectly.. While they corrected the problem our other orders were allowed to get cold. Some of my bacon order fell on the tray and was never replaced. Toppings for oarmeal never brought out even after reminding the waitress."

"Waited close to 40 minutes for breakfast to be served after ordering. Food was cold and had been obviously sitting for a while. Server was unprofessional and confused. Not a good experience."

"Good brunch place. Very good variety. Had Classic Eggs Benedict and they were fine, not outstanding. Will try something else next time but there will definately be a next time."

"Nice breakfast spot! Our waiter was do friendly and was running to keep up with all of his tables. I had the oatmeal with bananas and it was exactly what I wanted. My husband had the banana and flaxseed pancakes with Nana's and berries--that ws the best ! My son had corned beef hash that was just ok. Still, nice little spot close to Michigan Ave. we would go back."

"Although it was Easter & crowded, the server was very friendly & attentive-frequently filling up our coffee cups & asking what else he might do. Had the Tuscan skillet which is very tasty. And the sweet butter for the toast is delicious. All in all, a very nice experience, very good food at a fair price for what you are getting."

"We wanted to try this new breakfast place since everything in this neighborhood has a long wait list. I understand now why this doesn't have one. The atmosphere is bland. The service (including host) is unhelpful. When I asked for clarification about what was in a specific salad dressing, I was told it was a "secret recipe". My husbands first eggs came out fried, not scrambled as requested. The scrambled eggs tasted like egg beaters that may have been past their prime. My croque madame was sorry. It had one piece of ham (cold), and one piece of cheese. I ended up just moving all of it to one side of the sandwich and eating half the bread (not the worst choice in the world). The turkey sausage and coffee were delicious."
