Reviews for The Lunchroom at SPACE 519 in Chicago, IL
Waited nearly 60 min after being seated for the food that should have taken 20 min max to serve. A big waste of the morning... time. Had to finish the food in 10 min to catch our next activity. One star for the food that was tasty. One star for theserver since it's not their fault. Read more
Cool lunch place inside a store. Had the watermelon soup and it was outstanding! I would pass on the fish tacos as they were ... dry and not very flavorful. Stick to salads and soups as they all looked great. Read more
An amazing gem which can be easily missed in the area. They have a good selection for breakfast and brunch as well as good... cocktails and wine selections. A standard but decent coffee bar with classic bakery items as well. Great cozy outdoor seatingreally adds to the ambience. Service was decent. Read more
The breakfast quesadilla was SO incredibly delicious. It was also very filling. The tumeric Chai latte was equally incredible... and hit the spot! Read more
I originally didn't care to write a review but How we treated didn't sit well with me all things considered. My friend I arrived... and their were 3 other groups already seated prior to us. A lady reading a book just enjoying her day, another doing the samebut with her dog, and another two ladies enjoying each others company. My friend I were just having lunch and a few drinks. Inthe space of time it took us to do this none of the other parties seated before us had left but coming up on the conclusion ofour meal, we requested the check with the intent of sitting and finishing our drinks while we waited for our Uber. However uponimmediately receiving the check, before I even got to sign it the hostess immediately came over and said "I will have to ask ifyou can leave we need the table back". I look around confused as I see a few other tables open so I wonder why is he so hardpressed for this table? Long story short I didn't appreciate after spending so much money here being pushed out like that.Granted we had someplace to be so we were leaving anyway. But this treatment was not given to any other of the patrons who weretheir before us from the lady just sitting reading to the lady enjoying a cup of coffee and beautiful day with her dog. I do notcare to make this an issue of color but it sure came off like that when the only difference my group and other patrons were thatwe were black men and they were white women. To conclude I do not of awareness or if he cared to exercise of awareness but Itruly did not appreciate being treated like that. Space 519 needs to reevaluate their management as some may have unconsciousbiases and treat people like how my friend and I was treated. The food was good though, as well as the drinks, but the hostess Iassume or whoever rudely addressed us sucked. Thank you Read more
Originally posted under ?Space 519? wanted to add the correct listing. Visited 10/12/2019 Sweet little place to eat off the... beaten path. I am so happy my friend lives in Chicago to show me these hidden gems! The breakfast was simple and filling I chosethe Vegan scramble and had the Tumeric Ginger Chai with oat milk. It was AMAZING. No photos, I enjoyed the moment. A must visit,I heard the lunch menu is great too! Make reservations it?s a small shop, and the store attached to it has some great gifts totake home with you, cards, coffee-table books, clothes, jewelry, candles and more! Read more
Beautiful interior, and the aromas coming from the kitchen are divine! Highly recommend the mushroom flatbread (it was a lunch... special) along with their coffees. Note that the beverages are very pricey. Read more
As amazing as the food is (and it is truly delicious) the customer service is even better. I?m visiting from out of town and... mixed up my delivery address through the 3rd party delivery app and the person I spoke with at The Lunchroom made sure to givethe driver (and he was super kind about it too). About the food - I?m from New Mexico and the NM Chicken Tortilla soup wasstraight up as good as the best I?ve had back home and the egg salad sandwich was heavenly! Read more
