Marisol At The Mca

Such warm, kind staff here! They were so nice from the initial phone call with questions to greeting us at the host desk. On top of that we enjoyed some incredible food! We were so glad we chose to visit Marisol today. Delightfully designed space inside the museum. We enjoyed the breakfast burrito, beignets, breakfast potatoes, and lattes. I added lavender syrup to mine which I recommend as a beautiful touch!

Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Unique flavors and delicious. We had the Cilbir Cotija, Polenta Cake, and Beignets. Now we want to try everything. Beautiful atmosphere and a real hidden gem. Our service was unreal and our waiter was so nice and friendly. He gave us free tickets to the museum of contemporary art which was a huge surprise and we explored for a couple hours. Highly recommend! We can’t wait to go back.

Vegan tofu scramble was very good. It was more like a stir fry with uncooked spinach, but the tofu was cubed and cooked perfect. The only suggestion I have is to add more tofu, I was still hungry once I was finished. They also had a vegan burger that the waitress said was better than the regular one, so I will try that next time. Happy to have vegan brunch items 🥑🌱 🥔

Vibrant atmosphere, lots of energy. We went on a Saturday late lunch. We enjoyed the biegnets with espresso cream sauce. Our kids ate from the kids menu, cheeseburger and fries and a grilled cheese with apples. My wife ordered the salmon tartine. It was a little too smoky for us. I enjoyed the vege burger with chickpea salad on the side. It was delicious, one of the best vege burgers I've eaten.

Recently spent a day at the MCA as it is free for Illinois residents on Tuesdays. Made sure to have lunch at the newly reopened Marisol. It is located at the basement level with a sleek and modern design. There is a cafe along side of it as well. I would love to go back to try a latte as I am a lover of crafty baristas. Nonetheless, the experience at Marisol was spectacular. Andres, my server was a delight and very helpful with his suggestions. The Asparagus Panzanella and Salmon Tartine showcased fresh and vibrant ingredients. Everything was quite unique and the flavors were exquisitely balanced. The bread was of great quality and the chickpea side dish was sweet in all the right places. My friend and I shared two dishes and we were pleasantly full. I would love to go back for dinner. Wine list has great options; it features more of an Old World approach. The sparkling Gruner Veltliner was just delicious and went with lunch quite nicely. Soo glad Marisol is back!
