I had a business lunch meeting at Morton's in Northbrook and enjoyed the food there. Service was outstanding - the food was very good. The ribeye steak I had was rather thin, but it was cooked perfectly and was wonderfully tender. The mashed potato side was nice - it did not stand out as much as the meat. The Caesar salad was really good with great greens and the slice of cheesecake for dessert was really tasty. Great establishment and great people working there.

This is the best restaurant between Chicago and Milwaukee. We’ve 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 I’ve had outside South Carolina. The tuna, either as appetizer or entree, is fresh and satisfying. I’ve had the steak, but I’m not particularly a steak guy, so didn’t think it was as special as the other entrees I’ve had. We’ve 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!

Walkers, a legend in our own minds! When we return to visit family we always have to go to Walkers! If you order the Apple Pancake, bring a friend with an appetite! We got crepes, and a Western Omelet that was baked and was Awesome! 5 Super Stars!

Frank & Betsie's Restaurant

Since 1984, our menu pays homage to French traditions while blending comfort, culture and a touch of Californian cuisine. Each dish is made from scratch using only the finest ingredients, and we always endeavor to use products grown regionally and locally

We have been making the rounds in Winnetka and crossed over slightly into Glencoe for our first meal at Frank and Betsie's. Started off on the right foot with a reasonably priced, excellent bottle of French bordeau. We had a cold Scottish salmon appetizer, Scottish lemon sole, and panko encrusted eggplant. We were rather full, so we took dessert as takeaway: lemoncello cake and pecan torte. All superb. Lovely atmosphere and service.

Wasn’t 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 I’ll 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!

Really enjoyed our visit this past weekend. I got the Chicken Milanese and my wife got the Fire Roasted Tomato pasta. We tried the butternut squash soup which was just perfectly crafted. Samuel was a Fabulous server that was very informative about the selections. We topped off the evening with melt in your mouth Raspberry pie. What an amazing experience. Will definitely go back again.

Had an early dinner here. Visiting a friend from out of town, who’s been there before. We really enjoyed our dinner. Had a an appetizer and shared some vegetarian gnocchi. The lentil soup was delicious, the kale salad was ok- nothing that special. Gnocchi were really good.. my friend is vegetarian, so we shared a few vegetarian things.

Restaurant chains and hotel restaurants used to have negative reputations, like cold pizza or warm beer. No longer. In our travels from coast to coast, my wife and I have been impressed with the quality of chain restaurants, especially steakhouses, and hotel restaurants. One of the best chains is Ruth's Chris Steak House. Founded in 1965, Ruth's Chris has over 130 locations across the United States and has established itself as the largest luxury steakhouse chain in number of locations, operating income and overall profit. In other words, a lot of people like the product. Unfortunately, there are only five Ruth's Chris locations in the Chicago area. One is at 933 Skokie Boulevard in the Renaissance Chicago North Shore Hotel in north suburban Northbrook. It offers an elegant and comfortable setting, impeccable service and a menu sure to please every steak lover. We started with lobster bisque, shrimp cocktail and Caesar salad. For entrees, there is nothing comparable to a Ruth's Chris steak, sizzling, butter-topped beef, as in an eight-ounce filet and an 11-ounce filet. With baked potatoes and creamed spinach. For dessert, we shared a plate of Ruth Chris' signature creme brulee, consisting of classic Creole egg custard topped with fresh berries and mint, and white chocolate bread pudding. One of these times we're going to have to sample the 40-ounce porterhouse for two. At Ruth's Chris, there's always something to enjoy.
