New American Restaurants near Vernon Hills, IL

“Loved everything about this location! I received a warm welcome from the host stand, but what really stood out to me was the extraordinary service from Samone. She provided suggestions for my beverage, appetizer, entree, & dessert. I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 course meal thanks to Samone pointing me in the right direction. She’s truly a professional. Will be back to sit in her section!“

“Amazing service ! Bar tender Jimmy was absolutely great. My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick drink and soup before the movies and had a Good time thanks to him!“

“Food was very good. Server was pleasant and available whenever we needed. Very nice atmosphere. Beer selection is fantastic.“

“My first visit to Inovasi and it did not disappoint! Our server Lucia was fantastic- knowledgeable friendly and she helped me find just the right cocktail! We started with their delicious bread, and then had the crispy pork belly for appetizer. For entree we had a filet with shaved truffles and a blackened cod with lime and whipped edamame. Both were superb as was the dessert of flourless chocolate cake with raspberry purée and shipped goats cheese, and a pumpkin cheesecake. All was delicious, and the ambiance and decor was warm and inviting. We will be back!“

“The food and drinks were phenomenal, along with the atmosphere. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in this establishment. Our server Scott was absolutely outstanding. There should be more of him in the world! I definitely recommend this place!“

“I’ve been on their first customers from the reopening after Covid . Brought a lot of people there . The entire of the USS NEW JERSEY got to know about this place because the jersey is directly next to it . It became me go to hang out spot . Great patio. View of Lake Michigan especially during fall and winter. Sorry to hear the food truck is gone but Patrice does a great job with the limited menu specials . Always a great experience with her . Today I leave Great Lakes permanently and I will miss it and the people I’ve gotten to know there . A more mature crowd , more peaceful and less annoying environment a as we all huddled to this place for the same reason after a long and possibly stressful day on“

“Most days of the week there's something going on at Madcats. My wife and I live in the neighborhood. When the weather is good we walk over. Our favorite is the Blues Jam on the last Sunday of each month. Great food and drinks. Shoutout to Anna and Felix for friendly service as well as Savio and Madcat.“

“😀Great food, however, the “build your own burger“was a disappointment. The onions tasted bitter and very salty. I got the worst case of heartburn from this burger! OMG. Otherwise, everything else is top quality! Be careful when ordering this “build your own burger.”🍔 I’ve never tasted onions so bad, and seem to be imbedded into the meat that tasted so bitter and awful salty. Too bad because in my opinion, all other dishes are superb! Susan Lee Dzialo“

“I hired The Hungry Mule in Lake Zurich to cater a luncheon for about 65 people. The owner and staff were easy to work with. Very accommodating. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Everyone commented on how delicious everything tasted. I would definitely hireThe Hungry Mule again.“

“Delivery was fast and hot. I got the pan pizza and the crust was perfect.“

“We picked Maevery last minute for our son's navy graduation dinner and it didn't dissapoint. They accommodated a last minute reservation and put us in a corner great table for easy catching up. Service was great (which we didn't experience in multiple fine dining restaurants downtown) and food was yummy and a good selection. .. they had awesome recommendations and treated us wonderfully! Didn't rush us and from 5-6pm we nearly had the place to ourselves before the dinner rush! Highly recommended by this out of town visiting family! Thank You (from Southern CA) We will be back if we are in Chicago again!“

“Welcoming hostess and knowlegeable server. Attentive busperson. Delicious entrees, salads and dessert. Seated in quiet corner. Able to adjust reservation to arrive earlier after seeing the play at the theater. Service was gracious and not rushed. Beautiful presentation of entrees. Nice view of pool and banquet area.“

“I usually wait a day or two before reviewing a place. But I have to say this place is doing it right ! Walked in on a Monday early evening, and surprisingly it was bumpin’. Ordered the throwback Cheeseburger, served with crisp light steak fries, and a classic dill pickle strip. Everyone was watching the Sox game, the dining room was busy and the outside patio is a great place to chill and watch the outdoor tv. Great spot for weeknight drinks and cozy evenings with friends and co-workers.“

“Best place ever“

“We had a 30th high school reunion meet up at the Caldwell Grille last night. Mayra and Bridget were awesome with our group the whole evening. They were very accommodating for our group that kept expanding, friendly, and professional. The food and drinks were also great.“

“Awesome vibe! Love this cute town!“

“The atmosphere at the English Room in Lake Forest is very nice calm, classic, and a beautiful setting. The drink presentation was gorgeous. But the food itself was just okay, nothing special. I went to see what the hype was about, but overall I wasn’t very impressed.“

“We enjoyed another great evening at Coopers Hawk Kildeer. We choose Coopers Hawk not only for their great drinks, food preparation and portions, but also because they have substantial Gluten-Free options and dedicated fryers so everyone can enjoy. They take allergy consciousness seriously. While Kyle our server was prompt, courteous, and engaging I have to say the entire staff gave us a feeling they truly appreciated our choice dining with them. Everyone we spoke with or even passed in the hallway smiled and made eye contact. The Pretzel bread (including Gluten-Free bread) along with appetizers (Calamari & Brussel Sprouts) were the perfect size for our party of five(5) to share. We enjoyed a variety of dishes (Chicken, Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops, Spaghetti w/Meatballs, Gnocchi Alla Vodka, and Salad w/Chicken & Avocado), all delicious. Flourless cake and two other desserts were shared and delicious. Overall highly recommended as we have had consistent high quality food and service at this location.“

“It was your typical restaurant/bar in a hotel. Not a lot of customers were there at 5:45. The burgers were very good as well as the fish and chips. But my friend had to send back her chicken sandwich- she said it had no taste and chewed like rubber.“

“Great food, always fresh. Service is top notch, will be coming back. Mimosa’s are delish.“

“Everything is amazing, and we love the outdoor seating.“

“We used Mickey Finn’s “Amber Room” for our ~100 person wedding and it was incredible!! We had so many complements on the venue about how fun and intimate it felt and was just an amazing atmosphere to celebrate in! I’m also going to give a lot of credit to the wonderful staff! Everyone loved the bartenders. The event coordinator (Kristen) couldn’t be better at her job!! From the time we booked to when we walked out the door at the end of the night, she was there and helping! She couldn’t have made it easier for us to enjoy the night. This is an amazing venue for any event, but highly recommend for a wedding if you’re looking for something more laid back but still beautiful and practical. Everyone loved the food and said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to! We had so much fun and wouldn’t change a thing!“

“The beer and atmosphere are fabulous“
