New American Restaurants near Kenilworth, IL

“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!“

“So awesome! Great burgers great service“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Prairie Grass Cafe. The spring rolls were loaded with delicious perfectly cooked shrimp and the accompanying sauce (sweet chili with garlic and cilantro) plays nicely with them. The flounder with roasted carrots and parsnip-potato purée was as delicious as it looks. It was generously portioned and beautifully plated. We also enjoyed the mussels with parsley, shallots, and breadcrumbs pasta. My husband is Sicilian and it reminded us of the pasta con le sarde that we love to have in Sicily. The mussels were plump and delicious. The wine list is very nice. We found wines we really enjoyed and they were reasonably priced. We enjoyed the Attems, Pinot Grigio, Friuli, Italy ‘22 with our mussels and flounder, and the Fritz Haag, Riesling, Germany ‘21 with our pumpkin pie for dessert. Service was perfect.“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun“

“Loved everything about Yard House in Glenview! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We tried the burger, steak, nachos, and salads, and every single dish was excellent. Great atmosphere, great service, and a perfect spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Definitely coming back again!“

“We had the best time here for an early dinner before heading downtown for a show. Highlights of the meal are the French Onion Toast and Ricotta Gnocci. They also have a mocktail menu which had some delicious drinks on it. Will definitely be back soon!“

“Met for a brainstorming session…their coffee is a catalyst for sure! Great selection of healthy options with just enough sinful options to keep it balanced!“

“Everything was decent, easy parking in the garage , good atmosphere but when we ordered the nachos appetizer it was brought to us on a scorching HOT aluminum plate without any warning, we nearly burned our fingers just trying to move it, hopefully an isolated case!“

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“The interior of the building is gorgeous. I would gladly come in here for just a drink, but the food is worth coming in for too. Shepard's pie was delicious. Took some home, heated it up, and it was great as leftovers. I need to come back for their special events.“

“Im embarrassed it took us a couple of years to finally dine here but I'm SO grateful we FINALLY arrived and assure you we will be back again soon. Fun cocktail menu, great wine list and an impeccably delivered menu and great service! Thank you for the perfect date night!“

“Been there several times since opening during the week and this past Sunday, took our grandson which was home from college , he loved it too, invited a good friend from church will be there Wednesday. Check it out proud to say its in our neighborhood.“

“I had a great time wine tasting here! We sat out on their patio, which was secluded and quiet. The perfect armosphere for a catch up with friends or a date night. The food is delicious too. My favorite was the shrimp ceviche. On Wednesdays, they do happy hour specials on tasting flights! I really enjoyed the Mediterranean white flight. Their broader wine list is also incredibly diverse, representing many regions and flavors. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Vincent is a wonderful place. Love the food and frequently live performers as well.“

“We just moved the neighborhood and we have many choices for fun and food. Port And Park is Incredible the food is delicious. The service is genuinely extraordinary.. Then the ambience is warm and welcoming. Port And Park is our go to place!“

“Food was awesome, service... Ehhh“

“I came for a drink but left impressed with the food.“

“This is a gem that everyone should know about, but I'm thrilled there isn't a 30+ minute wait every time I go.
As someone who loves coffee, I still don't understand how their coffee tastes so good. Their plain, black coffee and Americanos taste out of this world. Some of the best coffee if not the best I've ever had. The food is always fresh, tastes/seems made to order, and again the coffee is amazing. A friend who doesn't drink caffeine loves their decaf, and as someone who doesn't drink decaf, even I like their decaf.“

“This diner was small but nice. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. There was no wait when we arrived about 12pm on a Saturday. Food was delicious I wanted to order everything on the menu. The food didn’t take long to come out maybe 20mins. The atmosphere is nice my only reason for 3 stars was it was a little crammed and cluttered and the bathroom was in the back with the freezer and it was a line. But I would definitely return“

“Nice atmosphere for friends and fellowship“

“Had a short but super nice visit. 10/10 friendly and awesome people. $5 Mimosa get in my belly. Will visit again, will rave about it to anyone who will listen.“

Great casual spot.“

“The food is fresh and delicious. The menu has a good variety of choices and the coffee is over-the-top good. The place has a welcoming vibe and the employees are personable and professional. Best restaurant in Edgewater. The kitchen is sometimes slow and the name of the place needs to be simpler to pass on to friends, which I often do.“

“Was driving past and saw a Jamaican flag in the window so I turned around. Thank God I did the food is so good ya'll I had the lamb, spinach and mashed potatoes. I'm still outside the restaurant in my car posting this cause the food is gone already!! An amazing Shout out to the owner miss tanya and her staff a wealth of knowledge a true blessing. Also thank you to Mario from Goebbarts farms for serenading me with live music while I waited!!“

“Convito cafe has long been one of our favorites. Our kids give us gift card every Christmas. Consistent quality , keeping old faves on menu along with specials per season. Tonight my husband loved the calves liver and I loved the fettuccini with fro magic and peas and pancetta. We each enjoyed the Caesar salads. That's fromagia not magic. And your desserts are always yummy!“

“Don’t order the short rib mini sandwiches! They were 90 percent fat. When I informed the waitress she indicated that there is always fat on those sandwiches. My sandwich was mostly grizzle and fat. My friend had the same thing but hers at least had some meat.“

“the ham cheese egg sandwich is very good“

“Sooo Goood. The calamari was perfectly breaded and the citrus aioli sauce was delicious. My Asada y Papas was melting in my mouth. Highly recommended.“

“These folks definitely know how to make amazing fries 🍟🔥 Not only do they have a perfect golden color, but they also stay impressively crispy even after sitting for about 10–15 minutes while I was out in the cold ❄️👌 That crunch didn’t fade at all, which really says a lot about the quality. On top of that, they were seasoned just right, adding even more flavor to every bite 😋 It’s clear they put real care into getting their fries just perfect!“

“It is so refreshing to meet an owner who is actively present in his restaurant. Mark Salmon enthusiastically and creatively arranged for my friend and I to dine outside (our request), despite the rain. We stayed dry under umbrellas and thanks to Sandra, our amazing waitress, we celebrated my birthday with fine food (impressive menu choices and food presentation) and great company! It was my first time dining at 501 Local and this restaurant met and exceeded my high standards in every way! It is a hidden gem and our new fav restaurant. Highly recommend!!“
