Fine Dining Restaurants near Skokie, IL

“Service and food are EXCELLENT! I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! Perfect place for a special occasion. We had a Ribeye with Kona rub cooked to perfection! Salad and mashed potato sides. Delicious dessert beautifully served with fresh raspberries and strawberries. Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants. We were here for a celebration and the staff made it all the more special! Lots of attention to detail. Highly recommended! And perfect ambiance, classy, warm, and friendly.“

“I went to Indienne with friends to celebrate 50th birthdays. The experience did not disappoint. Indienne delivered an exceptional dining experience with its tasting menu. The food was truly phenomenal—beautifully presented, thoughtful, and layered with bold yet refined flavors that felt both creative and rooted in tradition. Each course was memorable with different takes on recognizable dishes. While the drinks were just okay and didn’t quite rise to the same level as the food, they also didn’t detract from the overall experience. The tasting menu alone makes Indienne well worth the visit, especially for anyone who appreciates inventive, high-quality cuisine.“

“Amazing food and service. We had the tasting menu and it was incredibly tasty and really well thought out. Service was great and really contributed to being able to enjoy the food and understand the vision of the chef. Atmosphere was alright, I expect it will improve as they settle in to their new location.“

“What makes Cariño special for vegetarians is the intention behind every dish. The team clearly does more than “remove the meat”; they rethink each course so the vegetarian version has its own personality and depth. Thoughtful use of seasonal produce, umami-rich elements, and bright, layered sauces means you never feel like you're getting a compromise.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful service, and delicious food. Their lobster bisque was very good, as was their signature burger. I also really love the decor here! It totally captures that art deco style that Chicago's historic buildings are known for.“

“Alinea is an extraordinary dining experience…intimate, romantic, and impeccably executed. The cuisine is inventive and beautifully balanced, each course feeling thoughtful and surprising, while the service is warm, attentive, and seamless. It’s far more than a meal; it’s an unforgettable evening.“

“Chef Devon and his team are phenomenal hosts. The meal prepared by Chef was a 5 star experience. I would highly recommend trying Loon if you haven’t yet.“

“This place doesn't stick around for this long just,for no reason.☺️ Let me start saying that the service from beginning to the end was excellent. Driving up they have complimentary valet parking! My reservation was for 1:30pm as the day was totally booked, but this was a mid day lunch. We were seated right away and the hostesses were very friendly young adults. We were seated in a section with a very jovial, friendly, and aiming to please waiter name Gustavo. He was a great waiter everything we asked for he could explain or brought back quickly all of the food we chose was excellently cooked very tasty and filling the atmosphere was cozy, friendly, and easy to converse in. The menu has great options and the sides are big enough for two. It was a great experience all around and will be going back again.“

“Always a wonderful meal at Meg’s. Food, service, ambience, staff....all are outstanding!!!! A true treasure in Glencoe!!!“

“Initially we had a few issues. The room wasn’t ready and the kids were fussy and tired but the hotel gave us free deserts in the restaurant Adorn. They were amazing. The customer service was excellent. We finally got to our beautiful room with spectacular views and were very happy but the kids stuff that we requested wasn’t there. They again made up for it and went over and beyond. The kids loved getting an ice cream party, robes and treats. Four Seasons is an outstanding hotel. We will definitely be back. We’ve been home for 2 days and the kids already want to go back!“

“Great food & Wonderful setting!“

“If you’re looking for a top-notch steakhouse, The Palm is where it’s at. I had the most incredible dinner here, and everything from the food to the service was absolutely terrific. The steaks? Out of this world! Perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and bursting with flavor. You can tell they really know what they’re doing back there.

The vibe in this place is on point—classy but not stuffy, and the staff? Totally on it. They made us feel like VIPs the whole night. Every dish we tried was a home run, and the portions were seriously generous. Plus, the cocktails were killer, like, we’re talking next-level good.

If you’re in Chicago and craving a seriously good steak, The Palm is the spot. Trust me, it’s legendary. You’ll leave stuffed and already planning your next visit!“

“The first thing I noticed was how engaging the hostess was. We were seated upstairs and we loved the feel of privacy there. Our server was Blake a conscientious young man. I informed him that this was our first visit and he walked us through the menu and specials. We order various cuts of steak and one chicken meal. The sides were Brussels spouts, Lobster Mac and cheese and broccoli. The drinks were apple martini and lemon drops both served on dry ice and was quite the presentation! Every entree was delicious and served with the perfect temperature. We don’t live in the city of Chicago so driving down for over an hour to Mastro’s was worth it!“
