I go to Lucky Fish several times a month with a buddy before listening to music elsewhere in Highwood.I can honestly say I have never had bad service, bad food, or a bad experience. From the moment you walk in you are greeted from the hostess to the moment you leave everyone is friendly, the food is fresh and well prepared, and the servers are helpful and enthusiastic!!When we were there two weeks ago on Tuesday night it was closed and had a sign that said open only Wednesday thru Sunday which was very disappointing to us.I hope they continue to do well and stay open!!

I recently attended a surprise B-day get together with friends and colleagues in the back room at Beelow's. The staff were extremely cooperative in helping us set up the room and surprise our guest.All the food was awesome. I had salmon (was very tasty) and I saw many great steak and rib dishes. Even our vegetarian friend was able to find several great options on the menu.

We stopped in for lunch while shopping on Christmas Eve. Our service was great and the food was very yummy. We had salads, sandwiches and soups. The hubs said he really liked his tomato basil. Was a little runny for me - I like it thicker and creamier but the flavor was good. I had a salad that had all the deli meats with balsamic. Was a heaping bowl of yumminess. The hubs said his Rachel (pastrami sandwich) was to die for - he all but licked the plate. No one complained and I think our entire party was happy! OH the pickle sices you get at the table are super yummy!! We kept asking for more!Hi, Thank for stopping by. It's great to know that your experience with us was at par and we are glad to learn that we were able to serve you well during your visit. Further, it's feedback like yours which keeps us motivated to constantly work towards perfection. Do visit us again sometime soon!

This is my favorite place in the Chicago suburbs to grab a quick breakfast or lunch, and my go to place to carry out a dozen of mini bagels for breakfast at home. Their bagel is chewy not also soft. For lunch, I always add a bowl of their chicken noodle soup which is so tasty.

We were on a trip in the Highland Park area looking for some historical information. We decided to stop for brunch about midway through. We decided on Walker Brothers Original Pancake House in Highland Park as it was nearby and it looked interesting. The ambiance and decor is great with the oak paneling and the stained glass windows. We happened to be seated next to one of those windows. The restaurant was not busy, considering the time of day. Our server was there quickly for our drink order & our entree order. We decided on the Albacore white tuna salad on a toasted Challah roll and some fresh fruit. I chose the apple cinnamon pancake. I half expected that the pancake would take 20 - 30 minutes, but it came out very quickly. It was hot and tasty. The tuna salad was also very good. The total price was reasonable. The staff was efficient and our server was friendly.

Wasnât sure what to expect from this American Bistro... but what we ate was five star goodness. After the Ravinia crowd left, it allowed for a more leisurely experience and we sat outside. Service was attentive and excellent.We chose to dine tapas style.... a couple Old Fashioneds were very sweet and good, enhanced by the fig. We started with the ribs, spicy hot but smoky meaty too. The cauliflower was so well flavored that I barely knew I was eating it.... bonus! Spicy shrimp were indeed spicy but great. Chicken pot stickers were made with a nice skin and excellent filling..... asparagus salad, crispy Brussels sprouts and mini cheddar chive biscuit were also devoured and who can forget the polenta fries! I found the predominant flavors to be more spicy Asian, which I love, than American, but I can live with that! Seven different tapas shared flavors this visit, perhaps Iâll try an entree next time.... we will return!Love that it is finally warm enough to have outdoor dining! We are happy to hear that you were able to enjoy your meal outside and leisurely. You definitely hit some fan favorites in the dishes you tried. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

This is the best restaurant between Chicago and Milwaukee. Weâve been guests monthly for almost 10 years. Have tried just about everything on the menu ... never disappointed. The NOLA items are a treat (if you want to experiment, just try the Shot of Gumbo). Seasonally have Soft Shell Crabs, try them tempura style. Shrimp and Grits best Iâve had outside South Carolina. The tuna, either as appetizer or entree, is fresh and satisfying. Iâve had the steak, but Iâm not particularly a steak guy, so didnât think it was as special as the other entrees Iâve had. Weâve visited as a couple, and as family group of a dozen ... service is always, consistently outstanding. BBQ and sandwiches are top notch. Not a beer guy, but there is a large selection of domestic and imported brews. You will not be disappointed.Thank you so much for all your kind words! We're so happy to hear you've enjoyed your experience with us time and time again! We look forward to the next time!
