   Nice ambiance, cute place, but .... We came on a Sunday morning and had the French toast, which was good but not great. The menu said it came with fresh fruit -- which turned out to mean 4-5 blueberries and one sliced strawberry, which was disappointing. Service was spotty. We didn't see our waitperson for a very long time after they took our order. Someone else delivered our breakfast and we drained our coffee but no one came to ask if we wanted them refilled. Pretty expensive for the qualiity of the service.

   I had a pleasant experience at Stay Cafe. I was seated right away with a welcoming smile, and the staff was very accommodating. Although I arrived early and was willing to sit at the bar, they promptly took me to my table. The only downside was that my waiter seemed a bit unfamiliar with the pricing and wine options, but she warmed up by the end of my visit. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and would consider returning if invited.

   What a great place for a birthday brunch! We lived everything we ordered and our waitress was very nice. My son asked if we can come back next time when we are in Chicago. :)

   Sat at the breakfast bar and service was quick and easy. Attentive servers and good food in general. My mimosa was sweet and potent as coffee was dark and strong. Great experience with breakfast and free parking to boot! Thank you.

   Amazing food. Great Prices. Great brunch spot. Just moved into the area and it looks like I found my brunch spot for this area.

   We went for brunch during restaurant week -- my food and drinks were wonderful - Bloody Mary, Quinoa Salad, Fruit side and Blondie. Plus bottomless mimosa. I tried a friend's potato sides - amazing! Friends also had the chicken sandwich and turkey burger - both looked fabulous.

   The sound in the space was absurdly loud, definitely need some more art or sound proofing on the walls. We were sitting in a booth and could hardly hear each other speak. The overhead lighting is also bright and fluorescent and deeply unappetizing. Hot drinks came out cold, avocado sandwich was 5% avocado, that staff was visibly stretched too thin!
