The Chicago food is nice, but it was great to find this place and get a break with some good, organic food and drink! They have pre made things (like my meat and cheese bento), a fresh soup/salad bar, and a hot food bar! Great variety, you can find anything you're looking for!

Food Life was a tad puzzling at first but once our host explained the concept it was very simple. There are a series of different types of food set up like mini cafeterias. You go up to a specific food bar, order what you want, and you are given a card to add your total to. Each food bar uses the same card to add value to. When you're done with your meal you pay for whichever food you selected at the various bars. Super confused yet? Don't be! It will make much more sense in person. The food was good and we were able to take our time and eat unhurried.

I think this is a great spot -- I feel like I've got to visit it a few more times to 'get the hang of it' since I usually feel like a fish out of water (compare to the locals) when I pop in here for a quick bite to eat. I always leave feeling like I didn't explore it fully. Lots of options.

Convenient to the Ritz Carlton on 160 East Pearson.

This place is located in the center of the Watertown Place shopping center. It is unusal in that it consists of a variety of independent self service food stations serving everything from soup and salad to Chinease or BBQ. After you figgure out how the program works, it is pretty efficient. Each guest gets a 'credit card' they use to charge purchases. The card is presented upon check-out to pay for the food consumed. This is a place iwth something for everyone that is very fast and serves excellent quality food at a reasonable price.

You wander through this attractive area - from one food type to another. For example, there is Chicago pizza, stir fry, pasta, burgers, salads, plus. All are prepared fresh and are tasty. Prices are competitive. This a fun place for lunch.
