“fantastic food. great flavors and large portions. love the Huli Huli chicken and pork belly combo meal. I loved the poke nachos. thanks for your hospitality will be back.”

“Delicious! We saw the recommendation on Dine In/Dine Out Lake Bluff /Lake Forest Facebook page. So we decided to try it tonight. We were NOT disappointed. Service was friendly, nice casual dining spot. Great bar choices. The meal was delicious - we had the skirt steak and the flavor was top notch. My meal came with 4 shrimp and prepared well, not spicy. The flavors were yum and truly can’t wait to go back. From reviews the seafood looks delicious. We will try that next time!”

“Sandy’s is a local gem! The owner treats everyone like family. The food is delicious and the service is top notch. We visit weekly for good reason! Their French toast is addictive fyi.”

“This was recommended by someone so we took the opportunity to stop in for dinner.

THe staff were friendly and helpful, the food was very good, and the atmosphere is fun.

Overall a good dining experience which I'm sure I'll frequent again. The only downside is the location because parking can be somewhat of a challenge.”

“There’s a certain quiet magic in Tala Coffee, Highwood. The flavor here isn’t just good — it has depth, like a story unfolding with every sip. You can taste the attention, the patience, the care.

The space is soaked in soft, voluminous light that feels almost three-dimensional — it moves through the café like air, shaping shadows, warming wood, making everything glow just a little more than you’d expect.

And the atmosphere… calm but alive. Like a Sunday morning that forgot to end. A place where time slows down just enough to let you notice it.

Highly recommended — not just for coffee, but for the feeling it leaves behind.”

“Great place. Very friendly staff.”

“My Aunt Marcia Hoffman turned 90 and is a rehab center where she is confined to her room . We wanted to do something special so we call Scotty’s and the made a meal to order for pick up. It worked out great and she loved it . Thank you Scott and the entire staff for making her 90th as special as it could be under the circumstances !”

“Good drinks, great spot to relax. The place has comfortable seating and a quiet atmosphere, perfect if you’re looking to wind down at the end of the night with friends or family. Drinks are solid, but most definitely on the pricey side. Still, it’s a nice spot when you want something a little more laid-back. I highly recommend the Porn Star- Although a bit embarrassing to order for a dude LOL, it was tart and delicious!”

“Located in the heart of Highwood is Broken Tee, a great brewery with an amazing selection of beer and food. There are two rooms with plenty of seating, even a few couches for larger groups. There is also a nice outdoor seating outside the perimeter of the brewery. The staff are friendly and always helpful when trying to select one of their many fine brews. Great place to start a fun night in Highwood. Parking is a little tricky so come early if you’re meeting someone.”

Everyone is always friendly and super polite. The value is outstanding. I highly recommend trying Mean Weiner. You will not be disappointed.”

“There are few places that can make an authentic Quiche Lorraine and their chocolate quiches are amazingly delish! Order ahead. They run out quickly(for good reason).”

“Delightful owners, excellent customer service. The best lasagna we have ever tasted. It melts in your mouth. Beyond delicious!!!!”

“We went to Washington Garden’s last night with friends hoping to enjoy some good Italian food. The food was delicious! The portions were large and the waitress couldn’t have been nicer. We will be returning soon. 🥰👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“So glad I tried and continue to enjoy Maria’s Italian Bakery and Cafe! This authentic spot offers wonderful service and excellent quality menu items— highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Best Mexican food in Chicagoland- no questions asked. Great service too. Highly recommended.”

“I love this place really good people. Nice good fresh coffee, and great sandwiches and donuts, amazing fresh squeeze juices love it and will support it every time I can”

“Good news websiteplz like and shere”

“So so so good! We got pizza and ice cream. Both were perfect! We are so excited for summer with many dinners here!”

“Really good place! I was expecting generic Chinese but I was pleasantly surprised. I asked the owner if the egg foo young was made with real eggs, or eggs from a carton. He was kind of shocked at the notion he would use eggs from a carton and assured me it was made with fresh eggs and freshly-made vegetables, like he would not be caught dead doing it any other way. That gave me a good feeling about the place - he clearly had pride in what he does. We had a vegetarian and a celiac in the party and he was very understanding and respectful of their needs. We are picky eaters but were all very happy with our meals, which were really good. Big portions too!”

“Best tacos ever!! The taco selection is authentic and a great price! Only place to him for tacos in my mind!”

“Great service , great food ! Definitely will be back !”

“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!”

“One of my favorite restaurants. I LOVE the salad with fried goat cheese & beets. Also the croque monsieur was really good 😊”

“Since the day Lenny opened the place, I have been a loyal patron. Even though I moved out of state in 87, 5 times a year I come in for for the best beef and sausage in them we state.”

“This is my favorite McDonald’s in all of the states I’ve lived in. The staff is always friendly and I have never heard “sorry our ice cream machine is broken”. 😅”
