Sat outside for breakfast Friday and the music was so loud. Portions small for value. Would visit again but only for weekend brunch.

This was the first time that I've been to Fora, and the day/occasion was perfect. My wife celebrated her birthday and we ordered the Power Lunch special($25) per person for a 3 course meal. When I say that everything was on point and very good, I'm expressing the truth. This is definitely on my favorites list for Chicago restaurants, especially in the West Loop. Gotta try the shaved brussel sprouts salad!!! 🔥 🔥... The entire lunch time staff were great and provided top notch quality customer service! We plan to visit again and hopefully checkout their rooftop dining.
