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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Great atmosphere and food!“

“The food and wine were outstanding. The service was superb. We discovered new things on the menu that we hadn't tried before and the experience was wonderful. I eventually want to try everything on the menu; I have not been disappointed yet. This restaurant is a gem.“

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

“Wonderful experience! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Nico is an outstanding manager and was very accommodating and greeted us at our table. The ambiance is fun and lively on a Saturday night. Everything from the service, drinks, appetizers, entrees, dessert was exceptional.“

“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!“

“Great service 3 dinners out of four ok My steak was ordered rare and it was prepared properly except the quality was not as it should be for a high end steak restaurant at the cost. There was absolutely no marbling and no fat leaving the NY cut tasteless and chewy, and very difficult to cut. I also ordered it boneless, but it arrived bone in. I believe it was a choice grade meat not at all near prime. I would not order steak again, but stick to their hamburger which is always acceptable. I would suggest if they are going to serve choice meat that they at least sharpen their very dull steak knives. Clean kitchen & restrooms.“

“My favorite Italian restaurant in the northern suburbs. Great food and awesome atmosphere 👍.“

“I love coming here to sit and catch up with friends! Their pastries are so yummy (if you can snag one they sell out pretty fast throughout the day) and so are their drinks! I normally get a london fog or an iced matcha latte and they're always great! I also love that they're open late and also serve delicious cocktails & zero proof drinks at night. Their outside patio is great to sit at under the string lights if the weather permits. I love that this cafe also supports local artists by hosting an artist by displaying their pieces on the walls for a certain amount of time and also does an opening introduction night for the artist! How amazing to support other local artists. I also love that this cafe is more for connecting with other people where you can't sit and study/work at their tables but you can sit at the bar and study/work so you get the best of both worlds! Can't wait to come back soon!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“Great spot. It's not just for summer! Very nice interior, comfortable and welcoming almost cozy decor. TVs are subtle so you don't feel like you're in a sports bar. Nice varied menu. Had the autumn salad with chicken - delish. Also very nice selection of wines though limited by the glass. Will be back again soon.“

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!!“
