Uncommon Ground is a great place to go for a nice dinner. Not only is the food/wines/basically everything organic, but they have live music, great service, and an outstanding atmosphere. They even have their own garden on the roof...pretty awesome. 5 stars from me! more

Our party of 6 hit Uncommon for brunch prior to a Cubs day-game. Our table was split between lunch and breakfast entrees. Everyone's meal was considered superb - from the chicken sandwich, to fish tacos (made with Halibut - that is a rare find!), to granola pancakes, to the huevos (eggs). Service was good considering the place was packed. I... more

We went late afternoon for an early dinner. The server told us that if we wait a few minutes he could give us the dinner menu with more choices. We sat outside and even though it was near the street, they did a good job on creating a private atmosphere. For an app, we got the sweet potato fries with... more

This is an ideal breakfast spot for anyone doing a morning Wrigley Field tour. The location is at the corner of Clark and Grace Streets which is about 3 blocks north of the ballpark. The food is very good, the staff is friendly and attentive. I love seeing all the dogs in the neighborhood going out for their morning walk... more

Best latte ever. Not to mention the seasonal menu is the best around! The wine selection & the music scene is the uncomparable! Both the Devon & Grace locations are great but Grace is my fav for the pure fact that Jeff Buckley played there & they still have the Jeff Buckley tribute each year. more

Had planned a surprise birthday dinner - after making reservations, less than 3 hours later they called to confirm, leaving a message that clued the birthday boy into the surprise that it wasn't just the two of us. The manager said it was their "policy." It's my "policy" not to return... Pissed Off more

The food is good but the service is terribly unpredictable. Somewhat kid-friendly. more
