Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Northbrook

This is a hidden gem, inside the The Forester Hotel. 5 off us, drinks, appetizers, dinner, dessert, espresso. From Goat Cheese and Honey to Crispy Gochujang Shrimp, to Roasted chicken breast over charred scallion risotto, Classic Cobb Salad and Fish & Chips…EVERYTHING was delicious. There wasn’t one thing we would change, including the service! SO happy to have this in the neighborhood and look forward to our next visit.

Alcove is our new favorite restaurant! From the excellent food to the serene elegant ambience - this is a venue that provides a superb dining experience. The low noise level and quiet music is a welcome factor for a great evening of conversation and fine dining. Additionally, the prices are reasonable for the upscale menu.

Great spot with above average food. The salads were great, the French onion was very average, the ambience was cool. I would definitely go back but wish they can improve on the soup a bit.

The drinks and food are consistently awesome. The food is high quality and a real taste of Eastern European food. The service has always been great. We travel from Wisconsin to here often, a must try if you’re anywhere close to.

Very good food. Large portions and very reasonably priced. Service good and very accomodating.
