“Nice wine and cheese pairings“

“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!“

“Really good. It's pretty awesome to have a place where you can build your own charcuterie board.

Charcuterie board: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything was high quality and really good. The only critique is that the apples tasted really strongly of onions.

Black bean quesadillas w grilled chicken: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh man, so good! The chicken tasted like it came off the grill and the shells had a nice pizza oven-style char on them. Flavor was top notch

Lamb bolognese: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was really good too. You get a lot of meat and it's all very tender. The sauce isn't too flavorful but the meat is and they go well together

Key lime pie: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's tart and tastes like real key limes, but it's not bitter. The graham cracker crust is great with it“

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

“Excellent experience! Service was great, from the hostess seating us to our waitress, Alex, being very attentive and accommodating with gluten free options. Food was EXCELLENT. Very tasty and perfectly cooked. You won’t be disappointed.

I don’t do valet often, but seemed a little weird that they only hold the door open for the driver, not the lady. Little awkward having them hold the door open for me, while I walked her around to the passenger side to open, then back to my door where the valet was waiting. Is this normal?? They also did not open for her when we arrived. Maybe for efficiency since it gets backed up there often?“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere and food!“

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

“My palette’s lack of sophistication prevents me from doing justice reviewing the menu items I enjoyed, but my belly is satisfied , and there were no leftovers; however, no matter the exquisite culinary notes I, likely, missed that a more refined pallet might’ve identified, there’s no way there was anything on a plate in the Chicago land area this evening that matched the atmosphere, service, and proud history shared by the staff and current owner, a descendant of the original owners who established the restaurant 123 years ago. A truly delightful experience that I intend to repeat as often as I’m able!“

“I ordered the Veal Barolo and it was excellent. Another member in our party ordered the Veal Carlos, and that too was excellent. The overall service was outstanding. One member of our party had special needs. Specifically, this person required a walker to get around. The service that the retaurant staff rendered to this member of our party was truly extraordinary.“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This cozy neighborhood gem was outstanding on a cold Saturday night. The hospitable and warm wait staff made it feel like we were family. Small booths and tables. Intimate. Got very noisy as it filled up midway into our meal. Tuna tapas and scallop dish simply amazing. Spanish flan desert was firm with small strawberries a nice addition. Plus we got a 15 percent discount for coming out on a super cold evening.“

“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 a fantastic new spot located at the Wilmette Public Golf Course ⛳️✨ The place has been completely renovated and looks fresh and modern, which really adds to the overall vibe 😍 The menu is thoughtfully put together by an experienced manager named John, and you can tell there’s a lot of care behind it 👍 The food is great, and they also offer an impressive selection of top-shelf spirits 🍸

It’s exciting that the menu is still evolving, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it develops over the summer ☀️ They’re planning an open-wall concept that will blend the indoor and outdoor spaces, along with a spacious patio where you can relax and enjoy drinks with friends 🍹 Definitely a place worth checking out!“

“How lucky are we to have Evanston Pour?

I always pop in when I’m up here and I’m really glad I remembered I could come here as I was leaving an early am beach event.
This spinach feta quiche is the stuff of perfection.
Wait the 12 mins to have it heated up for you and TAKE YOUR TIME to enjoy it.
I also love that they knew what I was referring to when I said I wanted the coffee “on tap” for my mug…

Good stuff and great folks 💛“

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

“Ruth's Chris does not disappoint! Service is friendly and impeccable. My filet came out exactly as ordered and extra butter of course. Garlic mashed potatoes are shareable. All descriptions are true to their word. From cocktails,apps, salads, soup, steaks, lobster,shrimp and desserts, it is truly enjoyable and delicious. As usual, we will be back again!“

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