Best Date Night Restaurants in Highland Park

Always a great experience. Food is consistently good and servers are always friendly. Check on you regularly but didn’t rush us or leave us stranded.

Best dining experience in a while for us. We ordered the medallions, tomahawk steak, lobster tail, and crab legs. Everything was delicious, the juke box was juking, and the service was top tier 🥰 oh and the Rueben egg rolls were amazing 🤤

I am in a wheelchair normally. We arrived with a reservation during a snowstorm. There was handicapped parking listed on the website and it was open and easy to use right by the valet parking. My husband went in and they seated us right away in a very handicapped accessible area. I did not need to use my wheelchair it was so nice. The wait staff is superb. The bar staff really knew their stuff. Wish more wines on the menu that were not from California. The food was superb. This is a very special occasion restaurant my family has been to for years for family birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversaries. It never disappoints. It was hard when they closed to remodel but when they reopened, we were back and it was a beautiful space. My family was in St. Paul. We are in Cambridge and we still drive there.

Always a wonderful experience at Joan's. The food is amazing and we love the fact that it is a family venture. Joan and Susan always remember us - even though we only go there 3-4 times a year. Also love the fact that their 4 course tasting menu does not include a desert course, which we always consider a throwaway. We are patrons for life!

Dinner was spectacular. We got the scallops and pork belly, roasted cauliflower, rainbow trout, artisanal seasonal pasta, roasted carrots, and the donuts and chocolate creme brûlée for dessert. Wow! Everything was so delicious! Our favorite was the trout which had this exquisite sauce and the skin was crispy and delicious. The pasta was awesome with zucchini, peas, asparagus, mint, and lemon. The carrots had the most delicious lemon yogurt sauce! And the cauliflower was seasoned with some Indian tasting spices and had these crispy chickpeas which added the perfect crunch. The donuts were to die for! It’s a huge portion of 10 gigantic beignets style donuts. So good! Amy was our server. She was engaging and attentive and the food came out perfectly timed We will definitely be back!
