Left feeling hungry and disappointed

by ajuniperberry

I brought my family here hoping it would be a decent vegan meal. They left out one of the main ingredients in my husbands dish and just said "oh", all main courses looked to be the size of an appetizer and the price was tremendous for what we got. I will definitely not make a second trip to The Balanced Kitchen.

• Pros: fresh
• Cons: servings are microscopic, pricey for what you get.

Fantastic food and its gluten free!

by timbo08

Whether you are gluten free, vegan or are just looking for something fresh and creative the Balanced Kitchen should be your next stop. This eco-friendly joint is pioneering a new generation of healthy food without the feeling that you are heading to woodstock or having to smell patouli oil. The wait staff and owners make you feel at home. We stayed 30 minutes longer than planned just to chat about food, cooking and chicago.

• Pros: creativity, fresh, local, green, gluten free
• Cons: some pastries are pricey

Deliciously creative cooking

by monnie56

We ate here on a Saturday at lunchtime for their prix fixe meal. The chefs use a lot of creativity in preparing seasonal, and whenever possible, locally grown food. Everything was delicious and attractively served, and although we aren't vegans we did not miss anything the menu is "free" of. Service is prompt and informative. The atmosphere is bright but relaxing at the same time.

Vegan, wheat free, and delicious

by tammie1958

The first thing you notice when you walk in is how chean everything is. This is not a "hippi joint" It is clean, fresh, brightly lit and pleasant. The staff is friendly and most important the food is great. I really like this place and I will make sure to visit again and again
