Edgewater Beach Cafe

anyone ever been to the edgewater beach cafe? the location can't be beat, but dunno anything about the food quality.

Edgewater Beach Cafe
5545 North Sheridan Road

It's French-Asian fusion. The restaurant is operated by a Vietnamese husband-wife team. Food is excellent. Wine is available too.
Use underground parking garage.

Any newer reviews on Edgewater Beach Cafe? We were thinking of visiting tomorrow evening...

although i've never been i have heard good things about the eba cafe.
i live in the hood and i can't beleive i've never eaten there .
they seem to have a strong resident-based clientele that has been supportive through the years.they have recently updated the interiors and they do have a full liquor license if you choose to imbibe.
if you go tell us what you think.

btw,the majestic edgewater beach apartments are a real treasure[it survived the wrecking ball the hotel did not]and a landmark that's steeped in history.they just restored the grand lobby and the residence boasts a private 2 acre park[unheard of in these times],sunlight indoor pool,it's own library,a florist and soda fountain as well as suites of private guest rooms that can be reserved for visitors not to mention a very gracious staff.

Mike,
How was it?

I wish I could tell you. The Mrs. and I were feeling under-the-weather and didn't make it out that night. Another time, perhaps...

Wow! I go by there all the time. The building does have a glamour to it but you would never guess it is a treasure. And I mean that with all sincerity.

dug, is it true that the Wizard of Oz series was written there (in the hotel part that's now gone?)

I always heard the story that L. Frank Baum lived in the Humboldt Park area when he wrote the Wizard of Oz (the first book at least)--unless he had to get a hotel room to get away from his kids so he could concentrate on writing his books for children.... Now that would be ironic!
