“Any time anyone asks me for my favorite coffee place I send them here. They've got my favorite espresso of any of the local roasteries and I've never had a bad experience here. Everyone behind the counter is friendly and personable, and they always take the time to make sure things are done right.”

“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!”

“Have eaten here several times. The last time I went was in a weekend and I ate the Schnitzel on challah special. It was fantastic! A must try.”

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

“Sandy’s in Highwood is the kind of place every neighborhood wishes it had. The food is consistently great, everything tastes fresh, and you can tell they care about quality rather than just turning tables. Service is friendly and attentive. It’s become our go-to spot, a real neighborhood gem. Highly recommend.”

“This is for delivery. Pizza is all about what one prefers and or grew up on. We prefer New Haven.
This is the best we have found on the North Shore. Thin crust cooked perfectly. The food traveled well (Door Dash). A generous amount of toppings, very good sauce. Will have again.”

“Really good Italian food and ambiance!”

“Great place. Very friendly staff.”

“A great spot to hangout and grab a drink.”

“Amazing Enchiladas at Wilmette location! Beautiful outdoor seating. 👍🏻”

“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 !”

“This is really a wonderful restaurant. The price point is excellent and the value for money superb. The food was really, really good, and we all enjoyed our meal. The skirt steak, the lamb chops, the beet salad and the ceviche. The poached pear is something different (not sweet at all) and the chocolate cake was very tasty. And for 10 bucks you get a really solid pour of wine (probably around 9 oz), which is just unheard of in a restaurant. Service was good and we really enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend you try this new place. They deserve to be more busy. It’s new and people need to get the word out.”

“Stopped in for the first time and will be back again and again! My kids devoured their donuts!! Can’t wait to come back for lunch too! Customer service was amazing too, so friendly and helpful!!”

“Súper recomendado 😋 Toda la comida está deliciosa Y sus aguas frescas excelente sabor sin tanto dulce y un sabor único y especial ♥️el mejor restaurante mexicano en estos alrededores 🤗”

“An absolute North Shore institution and a total treasure in Highwood! Everything here is stunning and delicious. The fresh fruit tarts, passion fruit mousse cake, and eclairs look like works of art and taste incredible. They also serve fantastic quiches and savory pastries if you're stopping by for lunch.
Tony and the team provide such warm, friendly service that makes you feel right at home. Perfect spot to grab a dessert for a special occasion or pick up a signature white box of sweet treats for the weekend!”

“My wife and I visited after a hike at nearby Fort Sheridan on a Saturday afternoon. The beers are solid. We enjoyed the Italian Pilsner and the Light Lager. Both refreshing after our hike. There is a kitchen, but we did not order any food. The overall ambiance is relaxed. Board games are available, or you can throw darts. There is an outdoor covered patio areas. Very family friendly. Our bartender, Paul, was great. Very knowledgeable about the beers and other nearby breweries. Put this on your list of Highwood spots to check out.”

“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!”

“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!”

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

“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. 🥰👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great service, especially for a picky eater with multiple allergies. Jokes aside, we were very impressed by attention of our server to every detail of the order. And we liked the food too!”

“Cutest yummiest cookies… totally worth the visit”

“We have never had a bad meal at Mean Weiner. We have ordered in and eaten in the restaurant. We have made many changes to our orders and have never had a problem. Everyone is always friendly and super polite. The value is outstanding. I highly recommend trying Mean Weiner. You will not be disappointed.”

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

“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!”
