50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Wilmette

“Convito cafe has long been one of our favorites. Our kids give us gift card every Christmas. Consistent quality , keeping old faves on menu along with specials per season. Tonight my husband loved the calves liver and I loved the fettuccini with fro magic and peas and pancetta. We each enjoyed the Caesar salads. That's fromagia not magic. And your desserts are always yummy!“

“Hubs and I came last night for an impromptu date night. The holiday décor was absolutely beautiful, you can tell a lot of effort and attention went into it. The staff were all super friendly and helpful! We arrived during the dinner rush, and given it’s the holiday season, I’m sure there’s an uptick in guests, but we were still seated within about 15–20 minutes, which was impressive. There is a one-hour dining limit during this season, I understand they’re turning tables quickly to accommodate everyone, especially having worked in the industry myself. However, I was really disappointed that every single item we ordered was cold. I don’t usually like to complain, so I didn’t mention it at the time, assuming it was just due to how busy the restaurant was. But after reading other reviews, it seems this may be a recurring issue, which is unfortunate. I’m not sure I would return, but on a positive note, the atmosphere was lovely and the staff were wonderful. Hopefully they can work with the kitchen to make sure the food is served hot, because everything else about the experience was great!“

“This is a great spot for quick and convenient sushi takeout. While there isn’t indoor seating, the quality of the food makes it well worth the visit. The sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared quickly, making it perfect for grabbing lunch or dinner on the go.“

“Great pizza! Make sure to check out the salads and the homemade gnocchi“

“Love this place. Such a good vibe every time I come here and they make the best sammiches around. I come by at least 4 times a week and these young men are always working so hard . I noticed the last time I came in it was hot as ever in the store and everyone was still working their hardest and providing excellent service as always. Props to them!! Bravo!“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“Amazing all around!!! The food was delicious and service was great. The pita was incredible and the hummus was truly authentic. We had the schnitzel which was super crunchy and the sauce on the side was very flavorful. The patio in the back is so nice and spacious and the word burning oven inside really sets the vibe. The drinks were also unique and delicious. You have to go!!“

“The food, drinks, service and recommendations were excellent. We were celebrating a birthday, and everything from the Oaxacan tlayuda to the Cornish hen with mole and the margaritas made with mezcal from the owners’ hometown in Oaxaca made for a great meal.“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“I tried the pizzas last night. We had 4 different kinds and they were honestly soooo delicious! Can’t wait for you to open! This is GREAT pizza!!!“

“Celebrated my wife’s birthday here with three other families, as we were in Chicago between baseball tournaments. Not only was Coda di Volpe able to accommodate a same day reservation for a large party, but they went above and beyond, from personalizing menus with a birthday wish, to adding a special touch on dessert. With four teenage boys in tow, the menu provided ample carbs and comfort for them while we enjoyed a broad sample of the offerings - all were very happy with their meals! Cocktails and wine selection was also on the mark. Kudos to Jeremy and his staff. We came all dressed in white and he told us he knew he wanted to do something special for our party… they knocked it out of the park! Looking forward to coming back to Chicago and making a beeline for this restaurant… a no-brainer.“

“A must try spot! Great food, coffee and atmosphere! Definitely recommend!“

“Delicious food & great menu. The service is top notch! The Italian beef is a favorite of mine when visiting from Cincinnati. 🙂“

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“good food and good service“

“First off the food is incredible, the pizza is next level. The drinks are also insane too. They have great cocktails that are offered but the beer selection was my favorite. However, my favorite part of the whole night was the service, Yasmeen at the bar was so attentive. The bar was kind of empty and there was no one there and it was just me and my boyfriend, but I still felt like they were waiting on us and we weren’t ignored like they were trying to push us out of the bar. We went to the Photo Booth and had some cute pictures taken and got one of the strips, we were told they’d be another, but it never came. Almost 30 minutes later, Danny from the bar came up to me and said I think this is yours and handed to me the second strip. I just thought this act of kindness was so sweet. He didn’t have to do that but he still did. I really like this bar. It’s very cozy vibes incredible food, and immaculate atmosphere will definitely come back again and I can’t wait to come back again.“

“I’ve had my share of good waitresses before, but I was blown away by the service provided by Tori. She frequently checked in on our table, making sure we were adequately hydrated throughout the World Cup. She brought our drinks in a timely manner too! Was Tori born to waitress? I can’t say for sure, but she excels in the role and Parlay-Lincoln Park is lucky to have her!“

“The food, atmosphere, and the staff were amazing! We celebrated my nephews birthday there and I can't wait to go back and bring some friends!“

“Food was amazing!!!!!! I will definitely be returning!!! Big portions, bursting with flavor, the steak was very juicy and tender. Best arepa, ever. Delicious!!!!😋 The owners are so friendly and welcoming as well. LOVED IT.“

“I want to give a special shoutout to Nadia at Dave’s Hot Chicken! She is absolutely amazing and always makes the experience better with her kindness, positive energy, and great customer service. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people she interacts with, and that kind of warmth goes a long way. Nadia, thank you for always being so wonderful you are truly appreciated. I love you so much and I hope you know how much your kindness and personality brighten people’s day! ❤“

“I travel to the area for work and always love coming here! ♥️♥️“

“Always loved their Greek pastries, they are the best, started going to them 60 yrs ago with my mom and dad. We were always going to Hellas for our parties baptisms and weddings. All our holiday needs were easily available for us. Unfortunately, we moved out to Poplar Grove, Illinois near Belvedere and have missed them greatly. Always love them and it brings a tears to my eyes, that they are still around. God bless them. My parents knew the owners personally.“

“OMG -- familiar to Indian tastes & flavors, but with its own flair! Mustard Chicken pairs great with Naan or Paratha. Nicest owner too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“Ate there for the first time tonight. I am vegan and my husband is an Omni. Chef Bill came out and waited on us personally, and gave us menu recommendations, all of which were delicious! The ambiance was so relaxing and peaceful; it was a nice respite from a busy day and I didn’t want to leave. Reasonably priced as well: shared appetizer, two teas, two entrees, and two desserts was $60. Will definitely be back for many more dinners!“

“Wonderful service and family friendly as well! Try the Marin Smoked Salmon Benedict if you like fish! So good! ;)“

“I went here first time and I was so impressed. Great good. I ordered fish n chips and they brought out malt vinegar even without me asking. We ordered salmon platter. It was phenomenal. Wow. Definitely recommend this place 10/10“

“Bluegrass Restaurant is a wonderful, family-owned restaurant. We have been ordering takeout and eating in since we came to Highland Park three years ago. The owners take pride in managing the restaurant on a daily basis. They prioritize customer service, great food, and a warm, welcoming experience. Last night, they hosted the Highland Park/Highwood Professional Moms group. We had only expected 15 women to attend, but 25 women ended up coming. The owners and the staff were AMAZING. They brought over additional chairs. They provided us with top-notch service, including separate checks. They respected us when we were speaking to the group and quietly took orders in the background. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant.“

“Awesome breakfast and drinks, got to chat with the owner-what a great guy! 5 stars all around!“

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“Food was good! Super chill vibe. Love that you can substitute fries for a salad at no charge. Def will be coming back here! Great burger.

Update: second time here, server was extremely rude and kept rolling his eyes. Still tipped 20% but it was not welcoming“

“Nice BBQ place for gathering. Yummy!“
