Dream Hall At 51 - Elgin

A gem in the Chicago suburbs, although it's in a food court, the quality and presentation of the food are impressive. We ordered the simplest things, an omelet and a waffle. Both were surprisingly good. The omelet was perfectly cooked, even though we chose tomato, it wasn't soggy or dry; it remained moist inside and tasted just right. It's one of the best I've tried in the past few years. The Belgian waffle was also perfectly made, and nicely set on a ceramic plate. The coffee at the corner was also very good, with many different specialty lattes available. I ordered the lavender latte, which went so well with the Belgian waffle.

Rude staff and horrible food. they even gave me a hard time because i asked for a cup of ice water on my way out! terrible place and i’d give it zero stars if i could.

Terrible food, terrible service. the ambiance is dull and it smells old in there. tell me why did this place open again? how do you run a business with terrible workers? overpriced food just for it to be served overcooked? ask for soda and they give you something that tastes close to seltzer water. take your money elsewhere folks!

The food hall gives a delicious varied selection for groups to choose from including a full bar and coffee shop. The food is well presented and portioned. The party hall mezzanine accommodates guests comfortably yet intimately.

Fun stop for a filling and affordable lunch after visiting Elgin museums. This variation on a food court IS a dream hall!I enjoyed the Mediterranean Bowl from Around The Bowl. I chose the veggie version with no meat. Didn 't expect the freshly grilled veggies they added. Good protein combo (saffron rice hummus). My bowl was filling without being heavy. Not overly spicy; yummy.My husband enjoyed the veggie version of the Fajita Bowl. Good protein combo (rice black beans). Also fresh and filling; not overly spicy, so you can taste the flavors of the foods themselves.Very open feel to the space, yet pretty quiet. A few other people there when we were, but sound of voices wasn 't annoying at all.Looking forward to coming back for breakfast from Brillo Breakfast too!Vegetarian options: Most of the bowls have a vegetarian option. Good proteins and fresh veggies. Also good veg choices for breakfast and for flatbread pizzas.
