Restaurants near Kennicotts Grove Nature Preserve

Our dinner at wildfire was fabulous. From the shared Greek salad to the Wildfire Chardonnay and terrific entrées, we were extremely happy. My wife had the tenderloin tips which were incredibly delicious and generous. I had the scallops de jonghe, which I had not seen before; eight scallops in incredible buttery, garlicky, breaded sauce that was out of this world. Our server, Vito, was attentive, efficient, and a great conversationalist. He added to the quality of the experience. As usual, our dinner at wildfire was wonderful. 

Always a great time at Coopers Hawk Morton Grove. I’m a member so I frequent that location. Knowledgeable staff and friendly environment. Great food and great wine 🍷 Will be going there for many years to come ❤️

We indulged at Ema, and I use that word appropriately because eating at Ema was pure indulgence!! The food, the ambiance, and the attentiveness of the servers and wait staff exemplified what we experienced!! The flavor combinations were creative, some of which I had never tasted! It's a small plate style, and we ordered many different offerings, starting with appetizers and ending with dessert. We had the Morrocan Onion Dip, the Sweet Corn Hummus, Hot Honey Labnah (made in-house), Morrocan Chicken, Faroe Island Salmon Kebabs, and Sticky Date Pudding. Not to mention loading up on Ema's "can't stop eating" house pita bread. Five stars!! I have food allergies, so after speaking with Ellie, our server, she went back to the kitchen to discuss them with the chef and was happily surprised when Chef CJ Jacobson, Ema's chef-partner, came to our table to discuss them personally. Subsequently, the staff that brought out the food stressed each time that the dishes were made in-house and that there was no cross-contamination, which would affect my food allergies. Impressive!!

We love this patio, the service is always spectacular. Food is great Fish is always super fresh portions are crazy huge! Deserts are wonderful. Great cocktails and wine Just simply good all the way around!

Perfect service, tremendous creativity in menu design and execution, quiet and beautiful. 5 + stars
