Lake Shore Cafe

Best service while staying in Chicago.  Celena was very pleasant, professional, and amazing with names and order.  Well done to her and the cafe.  Keep up the excellent work.

We have passed the Lake Shore Café numerous times when traveling along Lake Shore Drive and wondered how nice their view of Lake Michigan would be.  

We finally took the opportunity and went for their extensive Sunday Brunch Buffet (11.00 am - 4.00 pm) and were amazed not only by the window view but even more by their delicious and extensive buffet options.  

Since the Lake Shore Café offers daily specials we are looking forward to returning on other days.  We are considering to invite our out of town friends to their Friday Seafood Buffet and to enjoy a Live Jazz Band while dining as a nice alternative to the downtown venues.

They have buffet brunch every Sunday. I'm not sure if it's the times that Ive arrived, but the food was never HOT, always lukewarm or cold. But I do know that is to slightly be expected with buffets. I just feel  they leave the same food out for the entirety of the  brunch. The food wasn't horrible, but it definitely wasnt five star. Things that I never eat at home, I want to be superb when I go out. For Instance, the gravy and biscuits, gravy is always lumpy and cold, biscuits are cold and dry. I went twice to be fair..and both experiences were MEH. They do have lunch and dinner, maybe those experiences are better, but I might return here just as a last resort breakfast spot.
