    I had to wait more than 20 minutes with no greeting and no assistance. Very disappointing customer service

    I was visiting a friend in the area and decided to give Kanela a try and it didn’t disappoint. The chicken and waffles was incredible, and their carrot ginger juice was the perfect complement. The restaurant has such a bright, cheerful atmosphere with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. I plan on coming back.

    This was a disappointing brunch experience for me. Maybe it’s because I was a solo diner, I don’t know. I was seated immediately and order was taken immediately. I started off with a latte and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was in a small cast iron and a decent size, but it was dry and the cream cheese frosting was not good. My actual meal, the crab cake Benedict, took over 30 minutes to arrive. The food itself tastes like your typical standard Sysco grade meal. The crab cake was fried and greasy. The chipotle hollandaise sauce was different. Atmosphere was nice. Service was offensively slow. I will not be coming to this chain again. Chicago has too many other places.

    Food was fine, service was terrible. The place was about at 60% capacity at 10 am on a Saturday, probably when you should be fully staffed as a breakfast place, but unfortunately it didn’t seem like it. They squashed three of us into a two person table so elbows were knocking, but we could deal with it/didn’t want to complain. We then waited 40 mins for our food, our coffees and drinks were gone well before any food arrived, didn’t see our server at all. Food started to trickle out after 40mins - in the first round, one person got the side they ordered, someone else got their full meal, the third person didn’t get anything. The next wave came eventually, when the first round of food was already eaten - we had to share individuals meals due to hangriness. We had just moved to the area and had out of town guests with us, so it was a very disappointing experience. We won’t be back - the old town location seems to be better run.
