    Food and cocktails are on the pricier side, but everything was delicious. The portions are just right - you won't walk out of here feeling overstuffed. One person in our party had a food allergy and staff handled it with tremendous care. Service was exceptional, and I really loved how our server treated the younger members of our table individually, with the same kindness and respect as the adults. If you're a dessert person get the Donut Drops - they might have been the favorite thing we ordered!

    Location is fabulous. View all the way to the city skyline! Outdoor and indoor bars and seating. Limited menu for now of some of their standards from their Northbrook location but well - prepared. Friendly staff. We will return and we’re not golfers!
