Original Greenbay Cafe — Restaurant in New Trier Township

Let me just start off by saying, this was one of the rudest experiences i have encountered in a restaurant. Last Sunday, my friend and i had just finished cleaning a house and we wanted to go have some breakfast nearby. This place sadly was the first place that popped up on my GPS. (biggest mistake ever). We got to the restaurant and when i went in to get a table 2 waitresses started directly at me and did not acknowledge me waiting at all. I noticed that two tables were empty so i patiently waited for another 5 minutes. I waited 10 minutes and nobody seated me, nobody said hello. At one point I had to raise my hand as if i was in school waiting for the teacher to call my name. It was just so rude.. My friend and i decided to leave because we just felt so disrespected. When i got into my car, i called the place and asked to speak to a manager. When they asked what is this in regards to, i explained to her that i was the lady that was standing in front of the door for 10 minutes and not greeted. She replied with a simple "ok cool". Anyways, please don't waste your time here. I am so glad they did not...

We came here for breakfast, we ordered a tuna sandwich, 2 orders of pancakes, & a skillet. The food was good, would highly recommended their tuna and pancakes. What really disappointed me though was the service and the atmosphere. The service was mediocre at best. As a server, I understand being busy and not being able to give each table the best service but the restaurant is incredibly small and there was no reason why we couldn’t be offered more coffee, water in the beginning or boxes to go. Speaking about the place, it’s a hit or miss but for us it was a miss. It’s very overstimulated and you feel on top of each other. Just get take out...

Had brunch at the Original Greenbay Cafe in Winnetka a few Sundays back. It is a no nonsense old school diner with a relaxed welcoming vibe. I went with the Mediterranean Omelette. The eggs were spot on and loaded with fresh veggies full of flavor. The home fries were excellent, crisp on the outside and soft inside. The coffee was hot, strong, and kept coming. Service was top notch, fast, friendly, and on point without trying too hard. The place has a lived in charm with plenty of little things to catch your eye while you wait. A solid spot for a real meal...
