- KkurtChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe holiday decor is amazing. Service was great. Service and someone else who checked in on us were friendly and attentive. We went after the holiday for brunch so it was a little quiet for the neighborhood. I;m sure it's more lively at other times. A few normal breakfast type items and a few kinda sweet breakfast items. I had a nice mocktail.More infoBamboo ClubPrice: Moderate• Pizza Bar• Wrigleyville•4.3
