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!

Based on previous visits today not so great. Shrimp way overcooked and no seasoning on sweet potato side. Ran out of our beverages and place not even busy. Too bad as it was our favorite place.

Amazing food, attentive servers, killer drinks! Highly recommend the strawberry kiwi margarita and veggie tacos. Mango salsa is also revolutionary. Had a 14 person group there and they had all our food out quick, and somehow managed to keep up with our drinks and check to see if we needed more! Can't say enough great things!

The ambience is so lovely and great for a date. I liked the drinks too. However, we had a bizarre experience with the waitress. I am not sure if she was having trouble hearing us, but she did not listen to our requests at every interaction. It was in one ear and out the other. An example: when we sat down, she greeted us and asked if we would be ordering food or just here for drinks, we said yes we would be ordering food but drinks first. She proceeded to take our food menus and plates away, and said if we changed our minds about food she could bring them but but she’d give us time to look at drinks… ?? Confusing because we had just said we would be ordering food just not right away. In another scenario too, we mentioned wanting to order another round of drinks and she seemed to acknowledge it but then walked away? Bizarre. That being said, I would still go back!

The order tasted very good, disappointed that my requested pie cut wasn’t what I requested, so it became a little bit messy
