“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!“

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!

“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!“

“Carlos & Carlos in Wilmette was a good night out. We enjoyed the beef carpaccio, linguine with clams, and the meatballs—all well-prepared. Loved the sangria, and the service was excellent. We also tried the cannoli for dessert—beautifully presented, though probably not our favorite part of the meal. Overall, a good experience!“

“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!“

The ambiance is fun and lively on a Saturday night. Everything from the service, drinks, appetizers, entrees, dessert was exceptional.“

“Fancy high end dining place. Valet parking, and sumptuous decor feels like snooty men's club. It's like very corporate and ...fine. Food was rich and elegantly presented and good ...it's fine, it's not special or original and exciting in anyway.“

“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!!!“

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

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

“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.“

Upon arrival, Diamond greeted us with a smile. Diamond had received the note I previously sent to the restaurant about the birthday person being handicapped.

Food excellent, cooked to perfection, the vegan of the group was pleased with the selections. Cocktails perfect and dessert was delicious. Bread pudding scrumptious!!!!
