Best Cocktail Bars in Lake Forest

We've been several times to both the Chicago and Lake Forest locations. The Lake Forest restaurant has a clubby feel with wait staff that are professionals - not always the case in the suburbs. Everyone in our party loved the shared plates -- especially the tuna tartare appetizer and the "Shaking Beef" entree. We ordered a second one of those to take home. Wonderful place for a special occasion or to sit in the beautiful bar.

Great atmosphere, fun show and crowd and the steak is one of the best I've ever had.

Cocktails were good, food was mediocre. The crab dip lacked seasoning except excessive char (not browning) on top. The warm cookie was like a big Toll House, which went nicely with their egg nog variation. But it was a nice atmosphere and was otherwise a nice experience.

I loved my experience tonight! I’ve been here back to back weekends and throughly enjoyed my time.

Pandan is one of my favorite spots in the city after visiting with my husband for our anniversary. The stunning views paired with the amazing food and delicious cocktails made it a night to remember. The service is something that also deserves props, they were on top of everything from the moment we sat down. Great restaurant with a guaranteed nice time out if you’re visiting the city.
