We love Beatrix. Today I met a friend for lunch. We had a great server that gave us time to catch up before ordering. We ordered the pistachio crusted white fish which was very tasty.

Hidden gem with flavorful seasonal menu. Small plates and large plate options. We split two small plates (cauliflower and crostini), a salad and one large plate (slow cooked ribs). Plenty of food and each dish fill off interesting flavors.

We had Christmas lunch here, so it was pretty quiet and the staff weren’t so busy. With that in mind, service was friendly, prompt and attentive. The food was excellent: pot stickers for starters, then mutton stir fry, beef fried rice and Singapore noodles. Mutton is unusual in Chicagoland but it was surprisingly good. PL8 is now in our top 2 Chinese restaurants in the NW burns.
