Restaurants near Renaissance Chicago Northshore

Ema had a great ambiance and service was great. Absolutely a great social gathering place to enjoy good food and great talks.

One of my all-time favorite restaurants, Ron of Japan - Northbrook, has regained my trust as a great choice for special events or a terrific meal out with friends. A few years back, I had a couple disappointing meals and was really concerned that things were not headed in the right direction. However, I've been back several times during the last year and I'm truly happy to say that things have gotten back to where they were years ago when the food was amazing, the service great, and the opportunity to meet people while sharing a table has never been better. As a vegetarian, my food choices are a bit limited, but the tofu shitake dinner is a reliable choice. The egg-sauce, which I ask to be liberally added to every dish, is amazing. Perhaps more importantly, unlike in years past, I had no problem last night getting refills on drinks, asking for chopsticks, or any other requests. While unintrusive, the waitstaff was attentive and available. My friend's steak and shrimp were apparently good enough that he finished everything, including desert - not an easy feat. Seriously, this is a great place to share with friends and colleagues and they seem to be hitting on all cylinders again. I'm really happy for the comeback (even if their prices went up a bit). A++

Everyone there is very nice and the food is great!!!

Reservation was easy and immediate, seated on arrival service excellent and personable. Even manager came around to check on status. No rushing and my date and I enjoyed the food the ambiance and we left satisfied and full. Also Open table kept us reminded of reservation an although we did not cancel it is very easy on the app to manage the reservation. Plus you get points!

Great food and service. The booth we sat in was not as comfortable as it should have been. Next time I'll ask for a table. Overall, it was good.
