30 Best Wine Bars near Northbrook

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

“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!“

“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!“

Plus we got a 15 percent discount for coming out on a super cold evening.“

“Me and my friends went to Crosby’s to try out a new restaurant, we were greeted by an amazing hostess who right away got us sat down, our waiter came in an instant to serve us with water and gave us the specials of the day. We ordered our food and it arrived in 10 minutes, the quickest I’ve ever got my food before. I had 1 bite of my steak frites and it tasted amazing, some of the best food I’ve ever had. My friends and I all ate our friends and the waitress recommended said the cookie skillet was a classic so we knew we had to try it. It was amazing, cookie was soft and warm, the ice cream gave it a nice cold creamy vanilla flavor. Over all the service 10/10 and the food was also a 10/10“
