When Eleven opened up in the South Loop I was pretty excited at first and I even went there a few times, but I’ve slowly been turned off by the high prices, not so great service and mediocre food. Compared to the restaurants around it (like Bongo Room), there’s nothing special about the dishes that justify the high prices. I also had some stomach problems after one of the sandwiches. The main positive is that they’re opened for dinner (yolk and bongo are only breakfast/lunch).

I haven’t been back there in a long time and don’t really plan on it.

The place is cute and it looks like they are opening an upstairs. I dined there once and the service was good the potato pancakes were huge, the cabbage soup was a little sweet; I also had the reuben take-out. When I was handed the bag I knew it was a rip the reuben was $10 and was tiny! I say go to Manny’s deli where you get what you pay for. I live right by this place and would be a regular but the prices are too high and the portions are too small. A deli\diner…..c’mon go visit any other Jewish deli in the city and portions are never an issue. I hope they make some changes because the concept and atmosphere are great.

i live just a block away fr/this new diner so i’ve been here a number of times for brunch, lunch, and dinner. the atmosphere is bustling during peak rush hr times, and if you sit on the side where you can view the kitchen action, it’s even more so. there’s a cute diner-style bar, booths, and just regular tables. the prices are hefty (which is my main problem w/eating here). there’s better, more reasonably priced food in the south loop.

A definite step above the typical diner food! A friendly and low-key staff who lt the food speak for them. Reasonable prices.
