Booked 19 times todayMy wife and thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Blind Faith Cafe was recommended by my wife’s medical provider as we had flown in from Tampa for treatments in Chicago. Hands down, the Blind Faith Cafe is the best vegetarian restaurant we have patronized. And our waiter Rich was exceedingly helpful in recommending dishes and deserts because of our dietary restrictions. The granola strawberry rhubarb was phenomenal. The granola is house made and we were able to purchase some to take home with us. We will go back to the Blind Faith Cafe when we return to Chicago. More

We had an excellent meal. From the appetizer to the salads to the entrées and desserts everything tasted and looked superb. The maître' d and his assistant were helpful without being obtrusive. It's a little pricey but well worth the money. I would recommend it highly. More

The food was really good. We didn’t see the rice, as it was in pots at the front of the buffet. Should have piled the veggies up higher, and added a lot more mushrooms and broccoli... they cooked down more than I expected. Look over the entire buffet before you start, and taste the sauces before deciding. Service was ok. The server wasn’t as attentive as I would have preferred, but we got everything we wanted. More

The barn was excellent. The food was excellent also. We had just sold some reason we had never visited you guys before. Your concern with my allergy was also very very appreciated. We will be back soon and would love to continue to sit in the area outside. Thank you very much . Certainly one of the best restaurants in Evanston. More

A great waiter can make all the difference in a meal and ours was outstanding! That said, the oysters, cheeses, salmon, steak, gelato and cocktails were all perfect on their own. We liked that there weren’t any tables of rowdy young children on their iPads. Will definitely return soon! More

Good service. Food was tasty & arrived timely. Enjoyed the crab cake..could have used a bit more sauce which was quite tasty. Disappointed when my husband ordered a Southern Comfort manhattan they did not have Southern Comfort. The scallots and whitefish were both good. Creme bruele sampler didn't live up to our expectations. More

Love Tapas or small plates. Busy but not too noisy. The variety was great. A little difficult to decide. Went with the very traditional jamon manchego & tomate, the special artichoke stuffed with crab, pollo with potato and the snails. All were delicious. We probably could have had 2 more plates but decided on dessert. We chose the frozen chocolate mousse and the banana with caramel pistachio and ice cream. Very yummy. Can’t wait to return to try other plates and paella. More

Trattoria Demi is a very unassuming simple restaurant with excellent food. We loved the grilled octopus /cannelloni and arugula small plate - the octopus was so tender and flavorful. And then the Cioppino! Truly the very best I have ever had! The dish included a generous selection of seafood and a thick rich broth. I can’t wait to return and order it again. More

The 4 of us had a very nice time. The food was Chinese fusion but not the usual faire which was a pleasant change. Everything was good. Nice to see lamb and many flavorful vegetarian dishes available. Good service and surprisingly no wait at 5:30 on Saturday. More

Though we came on Sinatra Sunday and the music was a bit loud to have a dinner conversation, the older folks still loved it. There was some confusion about whether some of the items listed as vegan on the menu were really vegan or if the vegan items were still available. But the food was good. More

Half of one of our four entrees was cold, and had to be sent back for reheating. When it returned, the other half had gotten cold! Other than that, the food was very good. More

Discover Evanston
In suburban Evanston, you'll find one of Chicagoland's most noteworthy dishes: stuffed pizza. A deep-dish pan is filled with layers upon layers of toppings, sauce and cheese and is covered with an extra stretch of dough before baking. The price on stuffed pizza can be cause for a bit of sticker shock when compared to everyday pizza pies, but as a college town, Evanston has plenty of options more suitable for those on a budget. Two other Windy City favorites, Italian beef sandwiches and all-beef hot dogs on poppy seed buns, are noteworthy examples. Those looking for a more refined dining experience will find that the menus of table-service restaurants feature Midwestern comfort dishes built around meat, cheese and an assortment of farm-fresh vegetables.
