| - Didn't impress me the first time, but gave it another shot. Same poor results.
-Food: bland, small portions that don't justify the price. Had a breakfast sandwich the first time, and it was all bagel with little-to-no egg or meat. My girlfriend and I both got burgers the second time, and they were very disappointing given the hype they indicate on the menu and signage. Burgers were small, bland, and way over cooked. Best part was the bun, which engulfed and otherwise paltry piece of meat. Fries were awesome.
-Timing: took way, way too long. I understand the "fresh" aspect of the food, and respect that greatly, but if I knew I was going to wait 15 minutes for 2 small burgers in an otherwise empty restaurant, I would have gone somewhere else.
- Staff: somewhat friendly, but were much more worried about socializing in a group in the back corner.
-Atmosphere: awesome, great feel! Really like how they bring the food to you, even though it took much, much longer than expected.
Overall, I'm not sure I'd try Hello Bistro again. There are plenty of other options in the South Side, and I'll likely be taking my daily business elsewhere.
