Great Presentation, Atmosphere, and Awesome Brunch!
Came to Jane’s with some friends for Sunday Brunch. Had a reservation and was seated right aways. Janes is tucked away in what looks like use to be a single family home. Very cool and open on the inside, exposed wood through out. There were also about 6 tables on outside on the side walk. I ordered the daily special Frittata, it was served in block with cheese, sausage, egg, and potato. Great presentation and flavor. The Frittata was served with a nice size cup of fresh fruit. I also got to try the Banana Nut Bread French Toast. The french toast was really good, it was served with a side of poato’s and sausage, those were bland.
All meals are also served with fresh bread, and a very very tasty honey butter.
Coffe was fresh and plentiful.

Gay Sports Bar with Amazing Food
Best gay sports bar ever… this place has a great sports ambiance gay or straight. You’ll also enjoy the outdoor patio in the summer while watching a cubs game and putting back a beer. Inside you’ll find several large HDTVs. Be sure to check karaoke night, and of course hot jock strap contest night… while watching the Bulls game.
Dishes I tried:
Sassy Chicken Wings
12 huge wings in the “sassy” sauce, very spicy, and rich sauce… I would venture to say some of the best wings in the city. Pair these with the current pint of the month Shiner Bock and you’re definitely in for a treat.

The Spot thats Not
Don’t waste your time here, for some reason I’ve punished myself with 2 return trips. This place is so ready for you to be a regular you might get “the welcome back, how you been” from the server or bartender on your first visit. The Spot is 2 levels, with a formal dining / lounge bar down and a sports bar, and another theme room up. Went here for a date on the first time and the atmosphere was poor and we both couldn’t wait to leave.
Dishes I tried:
Roast Beef
Nothing special, nothing great, banquet style roast beef. My date had the chicken Caesar salad , it looked like it was right out of the grocery bag from Jewel.

Awesome Pizza and great Craft Beer
You can’t ask for a better combo … Pizza & Beer!! Piece delivers with great thin crust pizza offering 3 styles, traditional red, new haven plain, and white. The pizza are square or oblong. The crust is amazing, its treated with olive oil and oregano, and parmesan adds a slight saltiness. The beer though, oh the hand crafted brewed beer is oh so good … I highly recommend the Top Heavy Hefeweizen, and the Worry’in Ale.
Dishes I tried:
red
Some of the best dine-in Pizza in Chicago. I like it with black olives, sausage and pepperoni.

French Bistro with the French Attitude
Marche is on the restaurant row in the West Loop. Marche offers creative brasserie-style French cuisine in a club like setting. The ambiance is very chic and hip, our waitress had a cool “accessory” purse to carry her orders around. The service is very good… my boyfriend and I decided to split everything and were blown away when all of our selections were served on separate plates, they even split our glass of wine into two.
Dishes I tried:
Braised Rabbit Chablis
Caramelized Onion, Carrots, Bacon Lardon, Creamy Polenta … the best is the chunks of bacon, the rabbit falls right off the bone and melts in your mouth!
Pommes Frites
The Pommes Frites are absolutely awesome, served with a garlic mayo dipping sauce!
