“Wonderful local wine/beer shop. Surprising variety of great beer and wine. The owner is extremely helpful in selecting bottles. Highly recommend!“

“My first visit to Inovasi and it did not disappoint! Our server Lucia was fantastic- knowledgeable friendly and she helped me find just the right cocktail! We started with their delicious bread, and then had the crispy pork belly for appetizer. For entree we had a filet with shaved truffles and a blackened cod with lime and whipped edamame. Both were superb as was the dessert of flourless chocolate cake with raspberry purée and shipped goats cheese, and a pumpkin cheesecake. All was delicious, and the ambiance and decor was warm and inviting. We will be back!“

“Wow this new location is amazing, great bar and inside dining area, a large covered and shaded patio area and a private room that’s perfect for corporate or private parties of up to 40 people. The food and wine was as fantastic as always and the service was tremendous. One of my favorite places to go whenever I am in the area.“

“The perfect trifecta of amazing food, uncompromising service, and great value for an upscale and intimate restaurant in the North Shore area (Kenilworth, IL). Ask for Chick Evans and Rob when you arrive. Enjoy!“

“OUTSTANDING! What an amazing place that has been around and in the same family for decades. We all had homemade pasta including the gluten-free option and they were all delicious and authentic. We had just returned from Italy the prior week and it felt like we were still there! KUDOS to the family and Chef.“

“Great atmosphere and food!“

“Wow! I cannot understate the experience I had at Jackman & Co. From the ambience, to the food, to the drinks - you can see the effort and you feel at home! Cannot wait to come back.

The star of the show for me was the Duck Confit Tacos - I’ll be dreaming of them until I return.“

“Best Pizza in Evanston. The dough, the unique ingredients. I. Am.Hooked👌“

“Our food was delicious! We ordered the goat cheese as an app. Our dinner was the Braised short ribs with risotto, And I got the Filet Trio. So yummy!!!“

“Carlos & Carlos in Wilmette was a good night out. We enjoyed the beef carpaccio, linguine with clams, and the meatballs—all well-prepared. Loved the sangria, and the service was excellent. We also tried the cannoli for dessert—beautifully presented, though probably not our favorite part of the meal. Overall, a good experience!“

“Tapas del Lago is worth a visit in Highwood! This cozy, casual spot serves up delicious tapas perfect for sharing. The inviting facade, complete with a charming patio and rustic tables, sets the tone for a lovely evening. Our server, Gio, was outstanding - knowledgeable about the wines and tapas, and happy to guide us through the menu. We enjoyed his favorite picks, including octopus, gambas, and scallops, paired with a fantastic blend of Garnacha and Syrah. Even without dessert cravings, we ended up ordering another drink and that's how great the experience was! Perfect for date nights or family dinners, Tapas del Lago is a must-visit for sharing good food and making memories. Can't wait to go back and try more tapas!“

“Fancy high end dining place. Valet parking, and sumptuous decor feels like snooty men's club. It's like very corporate and ...fine. Food was rich and elegantly presented and good ...it's fine, it's not special or original and exciting in anyway.“

“In a town known for great steak restaurants, EJs, is my favorite. Their steaks and seafood are outstanding, their sides and desserts wonderful, and their wine list never disappoints. Throw in a cozy atmosphere with wood paneling and the smell of the fireplace. The best part is the service. From the moment you arrive until you get back in your vehicle their service is unmatched with a staff of professionals who have been there for years. I highly recommend EJs and look forward to our next visit!“

“This is one of my husband’s and my favorite place! We were a big fan of Creperie St. Germaine so we are so happy that they haven’t completely changed the delicious menu and the interior is the same cozy place we love! And the crepes are to die for! This place is freaking AWESOME!!!“

“Mrs Brandy take care about our table. She is very kind of very nice lady. She helped us for choice , food she’s amazing lady. When I come again I would like to she take care about us.“

“We dined at Froggy’s on Valentine’s Day, and had a wonderful time! This was our first time ever here, even though Froggys has been here for over 40 years! The interior is warm and inviting and we were welcomed in and seated promptly. Our server Peter was terrific all night, personable, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was truly a delight! We had Beef Wellington and Chicken Cordon Blue. Both were delicious and our overall experience was really great. We highly recommend this place and we will be back!“

“Exceptional food quality in a premium and relax atmosphere with high end service with attentiveness to detail of our 2nd anniversary!! Would highly recommend!!“

“A very pleasant “go-to” for a meal. Food is very good. Service is friendly but can be spotty depending. Location at Wilmette Golf Course is very nice with large windows overlooking golf course and outside seating. In the winter, the fireplace warms the view. Recommend.“

“We have visited Cooper Hawks in Morton Grove several times, sometimes for drinks and appetizers and sometimes for dinner and drinks, we have never had a bad experience. Great food and drinks, but we have been able to experience the same waitress Lori P. She is the best great personality food and drinks fast…… she is totally awesome. Thank you Lori for making our experience at Morton Grove Cooper Hawks great! See you next week.“

“There’s not much of a selection on food/pastries for a coffee shop. However, there is good coffee and tea. One thing I wish that they’d change is they do not allow laptops at any of the tables other than the high top area. If this changed I would give it 5 stars. For me, I’d like to sip on coffee, work on personal things (pay bills/family matters/travel plans/read through online articles) on a laptop in a good vibes scenery but it’s not the same if I can’t do that at a table. I wouldn’t necessarily say this place is very kid friendly but that’s more because I don’t see kids there, the staff has never said anything otherwise. Very friendly staff!“

“Great pizza! Make sure to check out the salads and the homemade gnocchi“

“Fantastic addition to Northbrook…dine in or carry out, food is consistently delicious!“

“10 out of 10. Upon arrival, Diamond greeted us with a smile. Diamond had received the note I previously sent to the restaurant about the birthday person being handicapped. To our surp 10 out of 10. Upon arrival, Diamond greeted us with a smile. Diamond had received the note I previously sent to the restaurant about the birthday person being handicapped. To our surprise, we were given a private room that was decorated with lovely birthday sparkles throughout the table. Our hostess Tina was amazing. Our party of 8 never waited for service, never ignored and were checked on throughout our dining experience. Food excellent, cooked to perfection, the vegan of the group was pleased with the selections. Cocktails perfect and dessert was delicious. Bread pudding scrumptious!!!! Ruth's Chris Northbrook is stellar!!! Of my many many reservations here, this one by far was the BEST!!! Thank you!!“
