Prairie - Lake Bluff

Very disappointed? I had this spot on my list for quite some time. Finally checked it out last week with my husband. Walked in with a beer in mind from what was posted on their menu and was told they didn?t have it. Rather than the bartender immediatelyoffering a substitute, he stood there looking at me waiting to ask for something else. I asked him for something similar andordered the only beer that sounded appealing. The bartender then asked if I wanted to start a tab and I agreed. As we sat alongthe wall seating, I couldn?t help but to feel as though we were out of place. It is such a small space and the regulars (youcould tell) sat at the actual bar and kept glancing at us. One couple came in behind us, ordered some type of coffees, sat a fewseats over, drank quickly and left. They too, seemed as uncomfortable as we did. The overall vibe left you feeling cold andostracized. When ready to leave, I opted to pay cash since we only had two beers. The bartender seemed bothered by my payingcash, I did nonetheless. We do not plan on returning.

Matcha and banana bread were great, people were wonderful. Shout-out to the guy who paid for our order and found one of our lost debit cards

Beautiful spot but every time I go the drinks taste terrible?not to mention extremely expensive. Staff have the strangest attitude? unknowledgeable and indifferent with a sprinkle of frat boy. Pass.

My review only reflects the coffee shop experience. Tasty oat chai! Beautiful outdoor seating. Wi-Fi was a challenge, but worth it for the views.

Overall decent experience. One bartender Tim was quite rude and this sentiment is apparently widely felt amongst the customer base. I wish their was more drink options, otherwise would recommend to go.
