The next waypoint on our quest is Capitol Dime.  Another "Farm to Fork" restaurant in the downtown area.
Check out the Brunch Menu and the pictures on their website look yummy.

Morgan's Bar & Grill

The casual Morgan's Bar and grill landed on the low end of our list - compared to all the great bottomless mimosa places in town - but with the simple quality brunch and lunch menus and it being the closest to this yuppies house in Oak Park, it is still on our list of places we would like to go again. Great no fuss nearby joint.

located in the Alhambra Triangle (between East Sacramento and Oak Park)

As of this post ranked #13 of 15. Total Score 6.9

Reservations
Although we usually give negative points for places that dont allow reservations, we doubted you would never really need reservations, so no points lost or gained.

Other Bottomless Drinks
None.  Although their Bloody Mary was pretty good with the piece of thick cut bacon as a stir stick.

Outdoor Seating
None.

Food Issues
Some of the dishes were cold :(.

Food Variety
rated 5 out of 10.  The menu was even smaller than Pour House but had a nice variety and some homemade items.

Availability of Car Parking
rated 6 out of 10.  The streets around the location has parking restrictions so we had to move cars every hour.  If you go hear use their bike rack.

Mimosa kept full
rated 7 out of 10.  It was up to you to go to the bar to get it but that meant less overall waiting.  However none of us thought to ask for water too, so a couple of us were not feeling very good the next day.

Atmosphere
rated 8 out of 10. It was a comfortable bar setting. From the outside it almost looks like a place you couldn't enter as a stranger but once inside it was very inviting.
