It's on flat Devon Avenue in the old Speakeasy space, but somehow the Edgewater outpost of the Wrigleyville hangout Uncommon Ground has an Alpine feel—must be the fireplaces, upscale-rustic decor, and leather easy chairs. As at the original, the seasonal menu emphasizes locally produced, family farmed, and organic products including house-infused vodkas. (Order a "TreeTini," made with the pear vodka, and the restaurant pledges to plant a tree.) It's also the site of the city's first certified organic rooftop garden. The menu's eclectic and surprisingly carnivore-centric given the crunchy mantras: large plates include a pork chop, a duck duo, Gunthorp Farm chicken, and a Dietzler Farm steak with chimichurri. Breakfast and brunch feature standards like huevos and a breakfast burrito but also chilaquiles with house-made chorizo and a breakfast melt with Nueske peppercorn bacon served on Red Hen black bread. There's live entertainment most nights of the week.
