Food Scene

Great brunch spot in LaGrange with nice ambiance. The food is delicious. Everything is also organic. They have smoothies, juices and house made kombucha. They also have vegan, veggie and GF friendly items and the best fig, goat and procuitto omelet ever.

Their food is delicious. We were really spoiled with the food selections living in Chicago and Bodhi is our favorite hands down. It's the best Thai food in our opinion! They also have GF and Vegeterian options.

We really love the drinks here. The food is good too, but the options are pretty limited for people with dietary restrictions. Super cute and romantic spot.

If it's cold outside this place will warm you up and transport you somewhere tropical. Super romantic, great for the littles - they will be super entertained and happy. All the beautiful plants have a soothing effect. They also have a kids play area and you can pack a lunch and save some money on a free activity. It is still worth visiting in the summer. Also they have FREE parking! Major win. Check their website for events!

Such a unique art scene, vibrant Latin culture and interesting history. Great restaurants, music venues such as Thalia Hall and Honky Tonk BBQ, cafes and shops. Check out First Fridays where gallery owners open their shops to the public.
