    I love the Blind Faith cafe. The food is outstanding as is the service. We had brunch before a matinee at Northwestern’s Wirtz theatre. Our waitress Stephanie was terrific / friendly and informative on the menu. She was efficient and professional while engaging us and having a great meal. We will be back soon!

    Our server was very helpful in guiding us through our choices for our main course. All 4 of us were very pleased with our food. All the plates were hot, meaning that they weren't sitting around waiting to be delivered.. We all agreed that our orders were extremely tasty. The servings were very generous as well. For appetizers, we all had the bean soup, which was a great start. As it was a birthday celebration, we ordered additional pastries and shared them, they were 5 star as well. It was a perfect evening and wonderful vegan and vegetarian food,

    We had a great meal at Blind Faith. I particularly can rave about the shitake-walnut loaf! It wasn’t that much to look at, but boy was it tasty! Accented by cranberry and tomato sauces and served on a bed of mashed sweet potatoes and squash. Yum yum. Everybody in our group of four left happy and very full!

    From the moment you walk in, you are acknowledged and greeted by smiling people. Our server, Travis, was helpful and knowledgeable. Our food was very tasty. Two suggestions, the Thai Peanut noodles were tasty, but a bit too oily. The dolmas were just basically riced filled. They were not very tasty and did not seem homemade. It would be great with some mint, tomatoes and chopped chick peas. We will be back to try more delicious items!

    It has been years since I have visited the area, but I recalled how great the food and ambiance of the restaurant were, and the experience did not disappoint. The enchiladas were as delicious as I remember, and our waiter was perfect!
