Best Lunch Restaurants in Winnetka

Truly a neighbourhood gem. One can tell the place is good by the smell of food one catches some 50 feet before the place. It's very cozy, neat, quiet, intimate. Excellent wine list, excellent food.

Being in from Boston for a quick holiday trip, we were pleased this place was open on a Monday for lunch. Valet parking, quick & polite for under $10. Hostess quickly seated our party of 3 in a covered, sunken garden terrace type dining room . Comfy seating but the youngish crowd was pretty noisy. We are older but I didn’t feel over dressed in my black blazer. The room and the attractive crowd would have been a good setting for a Jeff Lewis or Housewives episode. I got an Amalfi Blue ($16) good, tasting, fizzy lunch cocktail that didn’t leave me pulverized. Casa Lena Burger($18) was delicious. My wife got the Ahi Tuna Sandwich ($24) Looked like big portions, and our guest had the Steak sandwich, also big & she brought half home in the restaurant’s distinctive take out bag. Panettone (it’s Christmas time) and Passion fruit sorbet. Perfectly prepared . The attentive service people were professional and striking looking.

Very pricey sushi and they serve one person at a time while the others sit. They need to serve a table as they order. Food is good .

I celebrated my birthday at Joey’s, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Megan, our waitress, was incredibly kind, attentive, and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the evening. Charity, the manager, even took the time to personally come over, meet us, and wish me a happy birthday, which made the night feel even more special. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend Joey’s for any special occasion—or just a great night out!

Food is delicious. A funky environment with a menu filled with lots of unusual choices. I will go back!
