Lizzy J Cafe And Catering - Chicago

This establishment was closed, however I wasn't informed when i booked the reservation. I was sent notifications all the way up until the time I reserved. No one was there, no one answered the phone, and no one responded back on social media. I was taking my parents there for their 70th bday and they were so heart broken to see that our plans were ruined. BAD FOR BUSINESS!

Restaurant is CLOSED permanently and I was not notified. Traveled a distance to find out they closed. Terrible way to run a business and gas is too costly to have wasted it driving here

Rsvp 2 weeks in advance and received a txt message asking me to confirm my rsvp just to come to the location ON MOTHERS DAY it was closed !!!! No heads up, no call or anything . Went to comment on the owners page just for my comment to get erased and for her to announce days later they're closing the Chicago location . Just as she took the time to write that long, fake ,sad paragraph a phone call from an employee or whomever could've been done to save a pointless drive and ruined plans . So inconsiderate my comment was erased but not one person message me to apologize for the inconvenience. Wish I would've looked at prev reviews instead of IG Because this isn't this spots first time doing such . JUST TRASH

I love this place and was so excited to see 4 open slots today May 1st, so I booked 1pm. I live 40 mins away received my Open Table confirmation and arrived to a closed restaurant! I think management should have communicated with Open Table or something, I was so ready to eat this Fish and Grits!??Crazy...

I was looking forward to celebrating my friend's retirement at Lizzy J Cafe. We had made a reservation for a group of 5 at 11:00AM on May 1, 2022, which was confirmed. However, upon arrival, we found the restaurant closed with a sign indicating it was closed for a special event. Other guests who also had reservations experienced the same disappointment. I recommend that Lizzy J Cafe take the necessary steps to inform guests with reservations about any closures to avoid inconveniences like these. Many of us had traveled a distance to get there, so it was quite disappointing. I advise anyone considering making a reservation to double-check if the cafe is still open. As a disappointed customer, I had high hopes due to the great things I had heard about the restaurant and I hope they can be more professional in the future. Additionally, I found the website to be deceiving.
