“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....read full review
Visited for the first time last night! What a lovely experience admiring beautiful art and sampling light hors d’oeuvres. Can’t wait to try again for dinner!

The Gallery is a rare gem on the North Shore that combines outstanding cuisine with art from local artists. This art gallery-turned-restaurant offers a unique dining experience with a menu updated every three months. While the menu is limited, each dish is expertly prepared and rivals top-rated restaurants in Chicago. The Gallery is particularly known for its deviled eggs with balsamic and bacon, which have become a must-have, and its pastry desserts, which are executed at a high level. Guests enjoy the halibut and the signature bao buns, along with a delicious chocolate s'mores dessert. The restaurant also encourages guests to bring their own wine with a minimal corkage fee. With excellent service and a quiet, private atmosphere, The Gallery is an excellent choice for special events, such as private parties and baby showers. The outdoor space is lovely for gatherings, and the staff is flexible and accommodating, making it an ideal venue for events of 50 people or fewer. The ambiance, complemented by the art on the walls, creates a delightful dining experience that guests appreciate.
