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!

Very disappointed with this restaurant tonight. Been here many times. Price of wine and cocktails out of site expensive, previously not so. The hostess at the front desk was so rude. "Get out of my way I'm busy" when I was just checking in for a reservation. No water at the table, had to ask the waitress for water. No fillup on bread. Ordered mushrooms for a pasta dish, and they never showed up. The grilled calamari was non-existent on the plate mostly arugula salad and giardiniera. No utensils(cracker, scissors) for the lobster. The soup was barely warm. and so on...... Come on you can do better then this for a "Let Us Entertain You" restaurant.

Bobby's is about the only relatively up-scale restaurant in Deerfield and they seem to be making a go of it in a location that hasn't sustained earlier ventures in the culinary arts. The variety of their menu's offerings are sufficiently diverse and their bartenders know their jobs. The wait-staff are both polite and professional. It works - don't fix it.
7. Walker Bros. Original Pancake House - Highland Park

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.

Iâm new to the area, so trying to get a feel for the local options. Based on other reviews, I went over after church for a bite. The menu for breakfast and lunch items sounded amazing. I had a hard time deciding, but finally settled on the seasonal special of pumpkin pancakes. Iâm a purist when it comes to maple syrup, so paid the extra money for ârealâ syrup. The meal was delicious! I ordered a side of chicken sausage since itâs not often you can get pork-free options on a breakfast menu. The free flowing coffee was great as well. Overall, itâs a good option for brunch. Itâs very busy on Sunday morning, but thatâs for a reason! Iâll definitely be back.

Birthday celebration dinner. In past dining experience when visiting from out of town, dinner was over the top. This time, just âtolerableâ. Server was very slow and inattentive. They were out of about everything we wanted. Not even an offer of substitute, etc. tad disappointing. I think it had been a graduation weekend. Maybe busier than normal? Local businesses should stay aprised of area events and be prepared. Pretty disappointed this time.

Family of twelve was overfed in traditional fashion with huge portions of tasty food. We came for lunch but breakfast was still served and half chose those options. Mexican eggs over potatoes were tasty as was the corned beef hash..... French toast also enjoyed as were the pancakes and apple pancakes. I had the turkey club and the turkey was excellent! The bacon reheated, lettuce and tomato ok but almost no mayo and the toast was partially burnt..... shouldâve sent it back but I didnât want to upset my host and also eat after everyone else was done..... very disappointing. Pastrami sandwich and kreplach soup were enjoyed the most and no leftovers there. All the meals were missing âsomethingâ..... unless huge portions are their only cache..... Mannyâs in Chicago is my gold standard and this was fairly close! If I couldnât get into the city and needed a deli fix, Iâd be happy here......

The menu for Lake County's Restaurant Week was absolutely delicious! The menu was created by 2 of the incredible Chefs there -- Charles and Maynor. We were so impressed with the dishes that we had to ask! A variety of options for each course and everything that was brought to our table both looked and tasted great. Please put the Tuna Tartare on your regular menu -- it was incredible! Very friendly staff including our waitress, JJ. Thank you for a great experience -- we have already planned to go back this weekend with the kids.Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. I am happy to hear you found the restaurant week menu to your liking. We strive to provide gracious, engaging and caring service and look forward to welcoming you back to our hotel in the not too distant 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!
