Tapas Restaurants near Highwood, IL

“Wow. I can’t believe I hadn’t been to this place before tonight after walking by it so many times in Highwood. This may be my new favorite tapas place. Everything was fresh and flavorful and the service was excellent.First, they brought out bread and a heavily seasoned olive oil dip (garlic, salt, paprika, yumminess!). The patatas bravas were flavorful and perfectly roasted. However, my favorite dish was the hot garlic shrimp. I would have just drank the sauce it was so good.Oh, and I’m glad we got the plantanas dessert. It was perfectly portioned sautéed bananas, a little bit of vanilla ice cream and the most ridiculous sea salted caramel sauce. Amazingly rich.“

“Came in on a Monday to catch up with a friend and this was the perfect destination. We got there on the early side and enjoyed a glass of wine from and excellent wine list 1 a lot of unique offerings. Our waitress was great, letting us taste a small sip before selecting our wine. We moved on to the pumpkin seed hummus; delish and unique. Wish it was served with fresh rather than oiled/buttered toast but it was still delish. I opened for the zucchini noodles as a main and also enjoyed. The restaurant is bright and airy, when the weather warms up the patio looks lovely.“

“This is a small, local restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and great tasting food. We celebrated a birthday with many tapas dishes to share and delicious sangria. Everything we ordered, we enjoyed and each was full of flavor. Save room for dessert!“

“A wonderfully good surprise! I met my family there for one of our sons best friends. I arrived late and the gluten free meal that was especially made for me had been eaten. I was ok with it. However one of the two hosts Jennifer told the staff and within 15 minutes I received an amazing piece of grilled chicken, veggies and really good pasta and super tasty sauce. The others who had non gluten free food were raving about how fresh it all tasted.The space is very large and it’s perfect for parties and celebrations. Really friendly staff as well. Oh yeah the pizza couldn’t stay on the table. It was that good I hear.“
