Local Root

Local Root is great sustainable delicious dining. Everything is locally sourced and they tell you the farms the animals and produce are from. They recycle and have a zero waste kitchen! I recently went here for brunch. The ham feta and spinach omelette is delicious. I will definitely be back. The atmosphere is great-- it feels very cozy and homey. The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is the prices are a bit high for breakfast, but it's understandable with everything being super fresh and local. They also have gluten free bread options FYI! Check it out!

The Yolk was packed so we came here for brunch. Pineapple and Jalapeno Margarita sounded a little weird at first, but it was a great choice to nurse a hangover. The pulled pork Benedict was amazing, I didn't even think pork would go well with that. A great restaurant, I will be back next time I'm in Chicago.

Sat for 20 minutes, no server even introduced themselves as covering our table. No one even offered water, and we are RIGHT by the hostess. Asked the hostess, she said someone will be right there, no one showed after another 10 minutes. Have had faster service in the Caribbean, on island time. Manager finally took our order and comped all the drinks. Kudos to him, BTW, still don't know who our server is. Doesn't really matter how the food is at this point, we wouldn't be visiting this place again.

Went here for lunch today, a cold afternoon clearly on the way to winter. What better way to warm up than with an iron skillet Mac n Cheese! That, coupled with some nice warm bread, baked on premises was a surefire hit! The ambiance was lovely, the staff a delight and service quick. The prices were as expected in Streeterville. This neighborhood is not expensive, but priceless!

Pretty cool atmosphere. Food was not worth the listed price. Paid 14$ for a burger that I had asked for medium rare, but came back as medium well-done. The fries that came with, half was in bits and pieces. Significant other ordered the Parmesan Tower which used the same goat cheese filling as their Stuffed Portobello. Also, 6$ dollars for a can of Fat Tire.

I absolutely loved being at Local Root! I was visiting the city to see an opera, and had heard about how great this restaurant is. I went with my mother, and we were both very impressed by the delightful service and the quality of the food. I'm positive that everything on the menu is fantastic! The menu was creative and very appealing, which made choosing what to order a little difficult, and I ended up getting a fruity eggplant sandwich and a bowl of delicious chicken noodle + vegetable soup. My favorite tastes there were ginger ale and the amazing blueberry ice cream. Local Root is wonderful not only because of the food and atmosphere, but because of how Earth-friendly they are. They are extremely responsible and efficient with waste, and recycle more than any business I know of. I have been recommending this place to my friends traveling to Chicago ever since.
