Best Global Restaurants in Skokie

I thought this restaurant was great - a nice addition for healthy clean food. However, the menu was confusing - there were items that were clearly not vegan such as prime rib but there was no explanation of what the item actually contained. When we asked the server, she seemed somewhat indignant that we did not know that the tuna special was actually tomatoes.

Every single dish is outstanding, flavorful, generous, and complex. Service is fantastic. The cocktails are innovative. While a bit noisy, the feel is energetic and comfortable. I love this place. Try the Solterito.

Americano far exceeded what we expected! It is absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful, elegant booths, stunning decor and so classy. Best martinis in the city and a great menu! We can't wait to go back!

My wife and I always enjoy dining at Alpana. We love the cozy date-night vibe, fun and quirky decor (yes, female portraits!). The service is always really great -- I'm vegan, and I particularly love the vegetarian menu and how many dishes work for my preferences. Delicious cocktails, exceptional wine, and creative, satisfying food. Also a great value considering the neighborhood. Fun to see Aplana herself at the bar when we walked in. Love this place!

1st time hear celebrating my best Friend's birthday and yes they Didn't charge us for the dessert but all the server did was put a candle on it and come out and hand it to her no special song or Even say Happy Birthday just lit the candle and put it down in front of her and walked away. Grateful for the dessert but It would have been nice to sing a little Happy Birthday or make it a little special for her since it was a milestone birthday. When I asked about things on the menu the server seemed bothered that I asked...we never been here so I was asking what he suggests. Maybe he had something on his mind but they AUTOMATICALLY ADD 18% gratuity to your bill so I assume that's why he really didn't care. I tipped in addition to that added gratuity but the service on this 1st experience was not warm or welcoming. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was amazing that I would give 5 stars the drinks during happy hour were also very tasty we will be back...and hopefully we will experience better service. The food was spot on...loved it!!
