Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Highland Park

I order the duck dinner < worst I ever had . so tough hard to cut send it back did not eat it they said I could have another dinner but didn't have the time

I invited two colleagues to Aboyer as a thank you for their excellent work. We were greeted at the door where our coats were taken and then ushered to our well placed table. We then met our friendly and capable waiter who explained the menu. The fig Manhattan was the perfect beginning to all of the small plates that we ordered during happy hour. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and delivered by the capable staff. I/we will be back!

I had a NY strip steak that was perfectly cooked and was the most tender strip steak I have ever eaten in my life—which, at my age, is saying something. In addition, I cannot rave enough about the service in this restaurant. Perfect to the tiniest detail. Highly recommended!

The food is always great at Avli. It was very busy and the noise levels were quite high but bearable. Maybe they could play some music to drown out some of the chatter. We had the hummus and eggplant spread. Both were great. Big portions. We also had the mini chicken skewers which were delicious, and the meatballs. They were quite good although the tomato sauce on top was quite tart and tasted a bit like tomato paste. My husband liked it more than me. For dessert we had the orange pie which is actually orange cake. It is delicious. We also tried the cheesecake and chocolate filo sampler. Both were very good. We love Juan who has been our server in the past. Very attentive and friendly.
