- MMeredithChicago / Illinois •12 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOh my gosh. This place is amazing! The service was 5 star and I will go back as often as I can. Unfortunately, I have some disrespecful jerks of friends, so my reserved party of 10, which changed to 8 when we arrived ended up being only 6 because some invitees didn’t come and didn’t feel a need to let me know in advance. The staff was responsive, respectful, attentive and all around amazing. I apologized that we took an extra 2 seats from them due to overbooking and they were magnanimous and lovely. This is the behavior that makes me want to book every single event I can at this restaurant. And post their exemplary service to every forum that takes it.More infoFrancesca's IntimoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Lake Forest•4.6

- LLindaVIPDenver / Colorado •20 reviews5.0Dined on 28 Dec 2024Scotty’s is a warm, neighborhood restaurant with excellent food, and the service is even better than the food. The atmosphere is upscale casual, friends meeting friends, but you’d be comfortable dining alone, especially at the bar. Prices very reasonable, especially for the quality of fare.More infoScotty's on SheridanPrice: Moderate• American• Highwood•4.8
- EErikaChicago / Illinois •11 reviews5.0Dined on 24 Dec 2024My gawd we ordered so many things from the menu. The buffalo mozzarella, fired calamari, bruschetta special and mussels were outstanding. Entrees were phenomenal and portioned generously. We had to sit at a high top at the bar and waited 20 minutes after our reservation time, but they were so apologetic and kind! I can hardly wait to return!!More infoDisottoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Highwood•4.6
- SShannonChicago / Illinois •1 review4.0Dined on 23 Dec 2024This is our second visit to Del Rio and we were so excited to return. This time around, the food was much less impressive. Wait staff was perfect, responsive and friendly. Menu was limited due to special events in the main dining area, which was fine as our preferred order was on the limited menu. Disappointing.More infoDel RioPrice: Moderate• Italian• Highwood•4.7
