“A Classic! Family run for over one hundred years. You can see, taste, and appreciate why. Our server Stella is fifth generation from the original family. Her lovely mother stopped by to say hello too. Eggplant Parmesan, Halibut in butter sauce, Alfredo and Spaghetti. So delicious! No room for dessert!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Their wine selection was from around the world, food was delicious, & service was impeccable. I highly recommend it.“

“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!“

“Nice wine and cheese pairings“

“The perfect trifecta of amazing food, uncompromising service, and great value for an upscale and intimate restaurant in the North Shore area (Kenilworth, IL). Ask for Chick Evans and Rob when you arrive. Enjoy!“

“Exceptional food quality in a premium and relax atmosphere with high end service with attentiveness to detail of our 2nd anniversary!! Would highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“Wonderful experience! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Nico is an outstanding manager and was very accommodating and greeted us at our table. The ambiance is fun and lively on a Saturday night. Everything from the service, drinks, appetizers, entrees, dessert was exceptional.“

“Great service 3 dinners out of four ok My steak was ordered rare and it was prepared properly except the quality was not as it should be for a high end steak restaurant at the cost. There was absolutely no marbling and no fat leaving the NY cut tasteless and chewy, and very difficult to cut. I also ordered it boneless, but it arrived bone in. I believe it was a choice grade meat not at all near prime. I would not order steak again, but stick to their hamburger which is always acceptable. I would suggest if they are going to serve choice meat that they at least sharpen their very dull steak knives. Clean kitchen & restrooms.“

“My favorite Italian restaurant in the northern suburbs. Great food and awesome atmosphere 👍.“

“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“

“Great spot. It's not just for summer! Very nice interior, comfortable and welcoming almost cozy decor. TVs are subtle so you don't feel like you're in a sports bar. Nice varied menu. Had the autumn salad with chicken - delish. Also very nice selection of wines though limited by the glass. Will be back again soon.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Ruth's Chris! From start to finish, the timing was impeccable—appetizers, soup, salad, entrées, and dessert all arrived seamlessly without ever feeling rushed or delayed. The steaks were delicious, perfectly seasoned, and expertly prepared—though for my husband and son they were just a tad more done than their personal preference, which didn't take away from how flavorful they were. The staff went above and beyond by providing complimentary additional sides, which was such a thoughtful touch and truly made us all feel special. Every single dish was delicious, and the attention to detail really stood out. They also did an amazing job celebrating a milestone birthday, making the evening feel extra memorable and meaningful. An outstanding dining experience all around—we will definitely be back again soon!“

“Mrs Brandy take care about our table. She is very kind of very nice lady. She helped us for choice , food she’s amazing lady. When I come again I would like to she take care about us.“
