Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Highwood

Food was amazing! I usually don’t order chicken at fine dining restaurants but so glad I did. Best chicken I’ve ever had. Our server, Kevin, was super personable and fun. Highly recommend!

My wife and 4 of our friends dined here and we couldn’t have been happier with everything! The food was delicious, drinks were tasty and the service was impeccable. My wife has allergies to certain foods and our waiter worked with the chef’s staff to modify their menu for her! We’re so grateful for this effort and care. We definitely will be going back.

Great locally sourced food. Healthy choices. Love their salads. Great burger. My favorite restaurant in the north suburbs. Attentive service.

Our server, Sarah T, was super helpful in regards to recommendations. My girlfriend & I arrived for our 7:45pm reservation and were sat immediately, which was nice. Our server gave us recommendations upon request, which turned out great. She recommended a certain bottle of wine, which turned out to be some of the best wine we’ve had - and may be our new favorite wine. My Striped Sea Bass was phenomenal, and my girlfriends pasta (cannot remember the name, but something ‘A La Grappa’) was exquisite as well. We had multiple different people come to check up on us, and we never had to worry about refilling our own wine & water. Super attentive and friendly staff. The atmosphere was perfect for Valentines Day celebrations, as it was close in proximity, dim, and had an intimate feeling. Will 10000% be back, and it will be a challenge to try something new on the menu due to how much I loved the exact order that I got.

Fish tacos and chicken salad excellent along with a bean soup. Shared these great pairings. Pretty here always and perfect place to talk. Noise level low.
