The quality of the food is as outstanding as the interior; vivid, clean, and leaves an impression. Nothing here is heavy or overbearingly rich, which is a nice contrast to high-profile restaurants that specialize in making the lunch/ brunch experience the most extravagantly calorie-rich meal of the day. Kingsbury Street Cafe is playful and imaginative, but completely filling without regret. Over the top brunch items I'm thinking of include the Publican's Maple-Glazed Pork Shoulder and The Bristol's hangover breakfast with noodles, pork belly, and a poached egg. I'm not knocking Chicago's move toward a decadent and deserved brunch, just offering an excellent alternative.
Bypass Whole Foods for once and venture across the street for lunch or brunch. I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised and it won't make a huge dent in your wallet. I'm already looking forward to a return trip.
