Restaurants in Lake Forest

“Super…Great service from Ashley!!”

“We came to Sophia Steak for our anniversary and had a great server- Carol. She took care to help me with my dietary needs and made the meal so special. They gave us a little champagne toast and special anniversary menus. It was all the little touches that make it perfect. And then there’s the steak! Next level taste, quality and sides. We highly recommend!”

“Omar gave great service! Good was very good (ravioli with tomato cream). Good for kids too!”

“Best burgers in the area!”

“Best sushi. Better than your fancy Chicago spot. It’s the only restaurant we frequent regularly. They have something for everyone including non sushi lovers.”

“Grate food and service acutely and fast”

“Happy Susan Simms has brought this iconic spot back to life! The menu now offers vegan choices as well as those “dogs” we love. Couldn’t resist the chili cheese dog! Warm bun -perfect amount of cheese and chili. A yummy blast from the past back and better than ever😀”

“Great place to watch sports, have team parties, play sim golf and hang out with friends. Great open air atmosphere with their new garage style doors that they open during warm weather. Food is good and atmosphere is great. Local owners that truly love and support their community.”

““The Gallery made my wife’s surprise 75th birthday celebration absolutely unforgettable. Cecilia handled every detail with warmth and professionalism—helping me find a photographer, musician, flowers, and balloons that made the evening shine. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres followed by a beautifully paced five-course dinner, complete with honey-inspired cocktails (using our own honey!) and a honey mustard salad dressing the chef created just for us. The food, wine pairings, and service were all outstanding—friendly, polished, and perfectly timed. The room’s unpretentious elegance and local artwork created the ideal setting for a night full of laughter, connection, and joy. Mission accomplished!””

“Excellent food and friendly staff with great prices!”

“God bless Egg Harbor Cafe and all personal, The best service”

“This was a little more classier then what I am used to but glad I went. This made for a fun evening with good food and the environment set the mood for me and my friends”

“I had a work lunch here and ordered the Sukiyaki, Udon, Ika, and Uni handroll. Everything was fresh and fantastic. I needed a copy of my receipt more than a month after I had dined with them, and the staff went out of their way to retrieve it and send it to me. I'm very excited to dine here again!”

“Awesome Cocktail and Small Plate experienced”

“hope they pay their employees well nice people work there yeah. seems busy whenever i'm there but i don't go often only if im out that way visiting family. but i like the breakfast sandwiches. coffee is decent yeah”

“good food friendly environment nice in route Pit Stop”

“I love stopping on the go for the quick service and healthy options. The service is always wonderful, the staff always goes out if their way to make every customer happy. I am a regular for the juices and smoothies. So grateful to have this family business in the neighborhood!”

“Food was decent . Not great but not bad. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful.
But the food was just good. Didn't like the fries but the short rib sandwich was tender. The burrata was good but not enough bread to eat it with. Did not like the sticky toffee.
I'd go back though.”

“long time fan! Everything about this bakery is awesome!”

“Very good fresh Mexican food. The usual menu choices were offered along with a few specials. My drink was strong, friends margaritas were pricey for the size but ok. Their chips and salsa were nothing special. We enjoyed the fried calamari but the sauce was a bit odd and we would’ve enjoyed a cocktail sauce more. The empanadas were tasty but I wasn’t sure there was actually any beef inside. \n\nMy chicken fajitas were very good but could’ve used a bit more flavor. The chicken, peppers and onions were grilled just right. The beef tacos were a hit as well as the taco special. Beef fajitas were so so. \n\nService was excellent but the room was very loud and made it hard to converse. Eating outside might be nicer! I’d return.”

“Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere”

“Nice spot for a meeting with a very special realtor! Me! (Weichert Realtors) Sell Buy Haus (dot com)”

“I really enjoyed the bagels and cream cheese selections and taste. I wish there was somewhere to sit when we were there but we couldn't wait to have one so we started eating our fav's right in our vehicle.
It's definitely worth the trip to try some tasty bagels and any other selections you might favor. We'll be back for sure!”

“Went for Easter brunch and the food was terrific! We were greeted by the host and served promptly. The host stopped by a couple of times to see how things were going and was both pleasant and professional.”

“The girl at the register was really nice and she helped me out with figuring out what i want. Speaking of what i want, my foods was absolutely packed full, I've never been to a taco bell with such full tacos, and it was still really good 100/10 amazing experience”

“Love having a Starbucks in Lake Forest. So convenient. Also love some of the workers there. Daniel and Jay to name a couple. I just wish they would get the free refill program correct for gold card members. I get the snarky face from the manager and a couple others when asking for my free refill. They keep telling me I need to buy a regular coffee to get a refill when in fact Starbucks web site says get a free refill regardless of the original beverage.”

“I don’t live around here but I came in for a coffee and I sat and drink it for about 10 minutes and went back to the register to order a pastry. Ryan remembered my name and asked if he could get anything more for me using my first name. It was just a small gesture but felt so personal and wonderful. Great job Ryan! If I lived around here I would come back to this Starbucks all the time!”

“Another amazing experience at Le Colonial. The best food, great service and the ambiance is the best in town. Can’t wait until our next visit.”

“The ataff is always great and knows how to make the drinks properly. The atmosphere is very cute inside too. I drive from libertyville to come here since the one over there is awful now. Highly recommend the lake forest location!”

“Dunkin' always delivers a quick and convenient coffee run. Iced coffee is consistently good, and donuts are fresh. Drive-thru lines can get long, but service is usually speedy. Prices are reasonable. A reliable spot for a morning pick-me-up. ?☕️”

“Great food. awesome customer service.”
