    Dinner reservation for a birthday. Our reservation was on the earlier side, 5:30, and it was a phenomenal experience. Restaurant was busy, but tables available. A very nice atmosphere, active but comfortable, perfect for anything from casual family dinner to dress to impress date night. It was a Saturday night, but we were blown away by how fast our orders came out, and the quality was nothing less than exceptional. The service was top notch, not just from our server, but the staff as a whole seemed to stay aware and responsive of all the customers. Can’t wait to return!

    The venue is very nice and is perfect for a small gathering. The food is delicious, my only knock is that the lunchtime food menu/offering is a bit limited.

    Nice menu offerings with a little bit of everything (maybe a bit light on seafood). Enjoyable evening with good service and decor decked out for Christmas.

Discover Lake Forest

Home to many technological startups, Lake Forest is located in the affluent suburban area north of Chicago. Thin crust pizza with a light, crispy texture is a favorite in the neighborhood. Lake Forest features many Italian restaurants that serve this type of dish as well as meatball subs and more. Mexican food is also prominent in Lake Forest. On South Street, you can find Mexican restaurants that have outdoor patios for the summertime. Consume some spicy tamales right along the lakeside for a thrilling experience. In the downtown area, smaller bistros complement these full-scale restaurants, combining fresh, farm-to-table dinner menus with pastries and snacks to go.
