Chef Dale Levitski creates inventive breakfasts for people who are just plain sick of the same old stuff. Items such as French Toast Kebabs (marinated in coconut milk, baked, then grilled and spiked with pineapples and strawberries) and Frushi (fresh fruit rolled in rice paper, topped with mint leaves or edible flowers) might just be intriguing enough to open those half-closed eyes.
Orange has a sister location at 75 W Harrison St also. Opens at 8am, phone: (312) 447-1000. This morning had the French Toast Kebabs, unfortunately very poor breakfast. There was no hint of the coconut milk, french toast was baked until dry, so not good at all. The best part were the strawberries on the kebabs that due to the baking almost became packets of warm strawberry essence. A wide variety of fresh juices were offered which I really liked. Service was great. I'll go back and try the Frushi sometime. Another special they had which almost caught my eye were their jelly filled buttermilk pancakes, jelly changes weekly.
