Wife and I visited for a date night dinner experience on a Wednesday evening. We were greeted and seated by the hostess shortly after arriving. We did have reservations, but the place wasn't overly crowded at the time of our arrival. Waiter was professional and prompt with taking our drink and appetizer orders after we were seated.We tried the mashed potato ball appetizer, which was very good. Wife ordered and enjoyed the shepard's pie for her main course. I had the Connacht burger with mac n' cheese as the side. Burger was excellently cooked and toppings were wonderful.Pricing isn't cheap, but the portion sizes and quality of food exceed what you're paying for them. Wife ended up getting almost three meals worth out of her Shepard's pie (i.e., meal after restaurant and a couple lunches with the leftovers. Parking was a little problematic, since the restaurant is in the downtown Arlington Heights area. Fortunately, they are only about a block away from a parking complex if you cannot find a spot on the street outside their building.

We started coming to Mr. Allison's Restaurant after we found out how good the ham was. Their portions are huge and everything, including entrees without ham are really good. Our server, Kim W., was attentive and efficient. We were with my 6 yr. old and 13 yr. old grandkids. My 6 year old granddaughter ordered the Oreo cookie pancakes, which she pronounced as excellent. My grandson ordered biscuits and gravy which was a good-sized portion and was very tasty. We ordered a ham sandwich without any sides, as well as a 1/2 ham sandwich and a cup of chicken rosemary soup. Both were very good. The total price was reasonable.

Great Italian Beef And Awesome Italian Ice

Since we discovered the unmatched Italian beef at Johnnie's some years back, we have never failed to visit it at least once when we return to Chicago. My wife reminds me of one short trip where we had lunch there three days running. Get the beef sandwich 'dunked' to totally soak the sturdy Gonnella bread. Thin, crisp and hot fries, too.

Looking for a great pancake spot ..it was cute and friendly but the food was only average.. and it was another outrageously noisy restaurant. The place was mobbed but the wait was tolerable.

We've eaten at this well managed eatery at least a dozen times, and it's been consistently excellent. Steaks and fish are both carefully prepared, and although the service may not be Michelin perfect, it's friendly and consistently efficient. The trick here is to go early if you can or to prepare to stop at the bar for a libation before going to your table. Parking is a problem - the place is so popular, you'll have a tussle finding a spot to stow your car.

Was here on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. Had the shrimp and scallop risotto, and it was just okay. I was sort of sad they took the mustard pretzel maple pork chop off the menu - big mistake, that was the best thing ever.Ordered a S'more dessert to go, got back to my room and later than night went to have it, and it was key lime pie - blech. This really is a winery atmosphere, and they do tend to push the wines and the wine club, but you just need to say no if you want.

We went to Palm Court for my husbands birthday. We were excited after looking at their website. The menu looked fabulous and the location was perfect for what we wanted after spending the day at Arlington Race Track.Both the server and the food were both a huge disappointment. Our waiter didn't bother to tell us anything about the specials unless we asked, couldn't tell us how some of them were prepared, didn't know the Market Price of oysters or crab legs without checking, didn't bring horseradish or horseradish sauce for my prime rib until I asked for it and never did bring the au jus...both of which were listed on the menu... and insisted on treating the bill as if my husband were paying, even after I handed him my credit card. The food was very unremarkable. The vegetables were frozen not fresh and barely noticeable on the plate, my prime rib (listed as a house favorite) lacked the deep flavor I associate with it, and my twice baked potato should have been labeled five times baked. My husband said his halibut was very good, he had their red potatoes which did look nice, and his frozen vegetables included half a brussels sprout rather than just a few pieces of chopped broccoli and cauliflower. I will say the oysters on the half shell we had were delicious. I would not return.

The Egg Harbor in Arlington Heights expanded several years ago so those of you who found it too cramped or too small should give it another try. Unfortunately, they have also changed their menu and taken off some old favorites. While I know that it's good to keep innovating and some of their new items are quite good, I still miss some of their old signature dishes! Coffee is decent, and their fresh orange and orange-strawberry juice is delicious. I appreciate the fact that they actually prepare the eggs as you like them - as someone who has a visceral reaction (not in a good way) to under-done eggs, this is important!

It's been years since I've been to Walker Brothers, but this past trip reminded me of what I've been missing. Short wait to get in (which is surprising for a Sunday morning). Promptly greeted by the wait staff, and food came out hot and fast and AMAZING!!! Highly recommended!Also, they do have gluten free options for those with food allergies.

Iâve visited Mortonâs several times when staying in Itasca. It never fails to impress both on the service but especially on the food side where the meat is excellent and well prepared. The pricing is in the higher range but you get what you pay for and in this case excellent meat and side dishes.Go there next time you are in the area.
