    We were looking for a nicer place to enjoy breakfast in River North and discovered Beatrix. What an enjoyable experience. Restaurant features a coffee bar with a huge bakery case for those looking to grab a bite and get a caffeine jumpstart to start the day. Breakfast/brunch menu has something for everyone and all of our selections were fresh and delicious. Paola, our server, was such a delight and provided warm, attentive service. Beatrix offers a relaxed atmosphere and a cool vibe. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Chicago. High marks all the way around!

    The burger was cooked perfectly (med rare) and the Straight A salad was delicious and healthy so you don’t feel as guilty having a yummy cookie for dessert 😀 We sat outside with our dogs on a beautiful day.

    The food was good and our server Rachid was very friendly and helpful with the menu. I ordered based on his suggestions and he didn’t disappoint. The slow cooked short rib was absolutely delicious. The ambiance is nice too. Prices are very reasonable in my opinion. Great experience overall.

    Have been to Beatrix many times. Understand we are in a challenging environment and staff called in sick, our visit was not a good experience. National Restaurant Show in town. Foodies and critics everywhere, every restaurant needs to be "on their A Game" not knowing who was at their tables. There were 9 of us at our table. Food was cold, unappealing and service very slow. The manager did offer complementary apps and dessert, of which was appreciated. Would I return to Beatrix? Yes, but I would go without a group of foodies with set expectations.

    It was OK, service was nice but very slow. Food was mediocre with little follow up from waiter. Probably would have better to enjoy as a bakery walk up experience vs table service.

    Unfortunately, this was a disappointment. I had a cocktail at dinner, which just tasted like it was watered down. There’s really was no other flavor than liquid. The appetizer we had was good, the buffalo meatballs. My main, which was roast chicken with frites was very underwhelming and had no real flavor, and the frites arrived at the table already cold. I went here to catch up with a friend whom I hadn’t seen in 10 years so the ambiance and service were perfect but the food/drink was just not good overall.

    Our server, Alexi, understand that we needed to be in and out on a limited time frame. The menu was varied and our food was very good. The baked-to-order flatbread was fantastic. I couldn’t be happier with this choice.

    Unfortunately, it took at least ten minutes for a server to bring us water, after being sat 15 minutes past our reservation. This is not the first time we have experienced this issue while dining at Beatrix. We love the food and atmosphere but it is getting harder and harder to come back when we continuously have issues with our servers.

    Absolutely the worst restaurant my wife and I have ever been to in all of Chicago. It took almost a full hour for us to get initially served, and then the waiter only came back every thirty minutes after that. Horrible service. And it was ridiculously loud to the point where you can’t even hear each other talk. Avoid this place at all costs.

    I was extremely disappointed with our dinner last Saturday night. My meal was cold and unappetizing. My fish tacos were dry and unimpressive (just lettuce and some guacamole on a plate with a few corn chips and tortillas). We have eaten there before (Fulton River location) and have a phenomenal meal. They also had no GF desserts available. I left feeling disappointed and will not be going back.

    We went for lunch after my nephew’s college graduation. There was a nice variety of options on the menu. Two of us have celiac and the server was very knowledgeable and helpful. They offer a separate menu for gluten free. She also asked if there were any other food allergies to be aware of. This was very nice of her. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. It was very busy when we went, so a little loud but not bad. I would definitely go back.
