The Scout Waterhouse + Kitchen — Restaurant in Chicago

NEGATIVE INFINITY STARS. Went today with my cousins and our 4 children. We left 2 pairs of sunglasses on the table and returned within literally minutes and they were gone. The staff acted dumb founded. Had no idea who cleaned the table or where the glasses went. They have "security" and this particular man came to intimidate us while we were enquiring about the glasses. Everyone claimed ignorance and said they had no idea who had cleaned up the table. Keep in mind, no one was sat there and we literally returned in 2 minutes from when we left.

We had to insist and literally talk to 10 different people before the manager said she would look at the security cameras. She came back after 15 minutes and claimed they couldn't see the cameras. We said that's fine. We will wait around and file a police report. One of the staff members seemed nice and sympathetic and offered to take down a phone number in case they were found. My cousin went back in to the restaurant to discuss the phone number and the very same security guard who attempted to intimidate us in the first place literally pushed him out and to the ground in front of our children and other customers who were just trying to have a peaceful dinner.

To make matters worse, there was some strange business with the officer that came to the scene. We called him but when he got there decided to say my cousin was trespassing. I'm not sure when a patron who was waiting for some information is trespassing but nonetheless; the owner came out and said he would press charges if my cousins didn't sign a document saying they would not sue the restaurant. The office was clearly closely affiliated with The Scout. I won't conjecture as to the actual relationship but I can say it was stereotypical Chicago corruption at it's finest. The whole thing has left me disgusted and I can promise I will NEVER STEP FOOT in their again and I would encourage anyone with children to avoid this place...

We came here for a special event, brunch with Grey Goose. We had never been here before and we had a great time!

They serve burgers made with locally raised farm beef, bacon-wrapped Angus meat loaf, and signature grilled cheese sandwiches as well as other sandwiches and brunch items.

The interior has a rustic cabin vibe. With beautiful wooden bars, cross beams, tables and chairs, the decor is reminiscent of a hunting lodge. The eatery seats around 200, has 24 flat-screen TVs, and has a semi-private area in the back with it's own bar. A sidewalk patio is open in good weather.

In the back of the space, there's a semi-private room with three 50-inch flat-screen TVs and it's own bar for small gatherings. At the front of the space, there is booth and long-table seating and another bar.

The food that we had for brunch was excellent! We dined on chips and guacamole, eggs benedict, pot roast eggs benedict (my favorite), tempura green beans, their signature grilled cheese, pulled pork, buffalo chicken and short beef sandwiches as well as rustic flatbread.

We enjoyed great drinks including: La Provence (Gray Goose l'orange, aperol, strawberry and peach purees, champagne foat) La Vanille Creamy Martini (Gray Goose la vanille, five farms irish cream) La Vanille Coffee Martini (Gray Goose la vanille, Patron XO Cafe)

They have a large variety of drinks from bottled and draft beer, to cocktails and wine, something for everyone.

This would be the perfect place to have a drink or grab a bite to eat and watch a sports event, meet friends or family and enjoy the casual laid back atmosphere. I know that we will be...

The Scout was awful my date founded big napkin inside of my cocktail no one knew where the napkin came came from not sure if somebody wipe their hands or blew their nose on it.they accused us of walking out without paying a bill . never I'm sorry or we'll take care of the bill. they flag the police down like we were criminals I'll never eat there again! How embarrassing never in my life have I ever been treated like that before. The manager and other staff members laughed when the waitress told them what had happened to our cocktail they thought it was a joke I truly believe they did this because we were a black couple inside of a 95% white establishment I'm never a thief I am a child of God . not knowing that I also work for the police why would I steal something from this establishment I work every day 6 days a week i I explained to the manager that I wasn't happy and he was like oh well so me and my date left then they had the bouncers chases us out of the restaurant like we were stealing ! They flagged down the POLICE !! i could not believe it. They had the receipt With items that I had ordered but never received. I told the manager that I no longer wanted the food that I had ordered because now I was afraid to eat or drink anything else in the restaurant! what a way to be treated.. so sorry they lost a good customer my money spends just like everyone else and I'm going to be treated just like everyone else in there again we're living in the...
