27 Best Wine Bars near Highland Park

“Nice wine and cheese pairings“

“Our watercolor art class at Lynfred Winery was truly exceptional, thanks to the amazing and professional instructor, Becca. The cozy and inviting winery setting made it a perfect event for our group.“

“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!“

“Overall this is a wonderful place to have dinner or celebrate a special occasion, the Manager is incredibly friendly and knows how to make people feel welcomed. The same could be said for the rest of the team. The wine and food is amazing. We definitely go back in the future.“

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

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

“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.“

“The food here is PHENOMENAL, everything we ordered was SO GOOD. We were in a huge group and we ate "family style" where we just took a bit and passed the dish down till we were all satisfied. My favorite was the sauce from the calamari with the potatoes from any dish. We also ordered the dessert, they were out of the vanilla one but WOW the chocolate raspberry was so rich and decadent.

Parking: Street parking is paid in some areas, free in others and very hard to find. There is a free lot down the street behind the "art wall", just be mindful of your car's undercarriage clearance because if you have a sedan, you will scrape getting in and out of the lot. Higher clearance vehicles (truck, suv) would probably be fine. There is a second entrance about 20 feet further than the first entrance that's less bad, the incline/ decline won't scrape your car so badly but it still scraped my car a little on the way out. The first entrance made me worry I'd lose my oil pan (I didn't, car is fine). Lowered vehicles have no hope of getting in or out of the lot without damage.“

“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!“

“throwing down a 5 star review for capital grille old orchard. this location has the feel and sophistication of a city steakhouse with exceptional and friendly service to match. kudos to dave and ryan at the bar, nick who is an excellent server and melody who keeps the ship running. we look forward to more meals here!“

“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!“

“3 categories of 5 stars: food, service, and atmosphere. My first visit with 2 other "firsts" and one "vet"...everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was top-notch. No glass went empty or even came close. Recommendations were excellent, food was delicious, servers and wait staff helpful, courteous and smiling ?. The sage butter...my mouth is watering again just thinking about it. Thank you, C and C...I will Definitely be back and wholeheartedly recommend dining here. Excellent. No room for dessert, but they all looked amazing as well. I looked at other dishes around the restaurant as they came out and want to try several dishes just from seeing them. Worth the price of $30-50 a meal.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“If Cheers was in Lake Bluff, it would be Prairie. Each member of the staff has a unique and inviting personality who makes each visit feel personal, inviting, and small town. The regulars are split between morning and evening hours, with a few floaters. We welcome folks to the community, catch up on happenings, and bring a little joy each day. Mandy, the chef, compiles an amazing array of food items, from cinnamon rolls and coffee cakes, to casseroles and egg sandwiches during the morning, and a variety of sandwiches in the afternoons. The spot has outdoor seating on the sidewalk, as well as a dedicated secluded covered alley space with ample seating and ambience. Summertime events include covered alleyway cookouts and inclusion of other local businesses for special bites. Evenings can feature a quiet bar, karaoke, or live music. With a recently announced addition of Jeff Urso, a local restauranteur, to the ownership, 2024 is anticipated to be a great year for Prairie. Would highly recommend checking out this local gem.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Always a solid restaurant for dinner! The goat cheese and artichoke dip was on point! The lamb chops were delicious! Their steaks are always well prepared. Asparagus and Brussel Sprouts were a nice complement! The cheesecake and bread pudding were a great finish to dinner! But tonight the service was wonderful tonight! Elisabeth took great care of us, offered suggestions and was quite attentive! The service was excellent! Looking forward to the next visit!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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