454 Sheridan Rd, Highwood

“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!“

“I worked closely with Sonja to host a surprise 'Whiskey & Blues' themed b-party for my husband’s 60th. She was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with and very communicative and accomodating throughout the planning process. The party turned out fantastic, complete with signature cocktails - and great whiskey - for the birthday boy. Everyone loved the ambiance, the personalized cocktails and the overall vibe of the space perfectly matched the theme.

As an event planner, this venue was the perfect setting for a party!“

“Had been a while but wanted to give it a try on a nice late fall night. Good crowd, always see neighbors there. Very friendly spot, lots of college football games on but conversation friendly. Tried some new things. Really enjoyed the Firecracker Shrimp. Crisp coating and huge plump shrimp. Great sauces. Lobster burger was good, over the top with chips and fries. Finally tried the French Dip. It was very good and au jus was not overly salty like most places serve it. Good sandwich but for the price it could have been bigger. Sean our server was great and took great care of us.“

“Good solid breakfast establishment, service friendly and quick, but no rushing the customers to seat others.
I asked for my toast to be buttered and was told " we don't for covid concerns". I rolled my eyes, but said no more. I checked later to determine if there were any state or federal prohibitions for buttering toast, OF COURESE THERE WEREN'T!
I'M there are a few people who love hard cold butter spread on cold toast, NOT ME.
injury to insult the butter Is in tiny tiny little sealed plastic small square packs, open 3 or4 just to butter the one piece of toast, what a waste of landfill with plastic, but that isn't a consideration.
Suggedtion... butter the toast as the customer requests, get rid of the small butter packs and go to the paper foil wrapped butter for those who wish to butter there own toast.“

Didn't rush us and from 5-6pm we nearly had the place to ourselves before the dinner rush! Highly recommended by this out of town visiting family!

But the kitchen forgot to add shrimp to a salad, and when it came it was simply pan sautéd in butter. We tried two of the desserts that were acceptable, but not exceptional.“

Since her bridal party was small and the guitar shots were too much for our group, this thoughtful gesture made the day even more memorable.
