Bakery • $
“oh my gosh, Hewn is so cool – – such inventive and hearty and wholesome and beautiful flavor combinations – – I especially love what they do with fruit and nuts. I’m not surprised at all that their holiday special offerings sell out so quickly – – This is a special kind of bakery – – not too refined as to only have the sweetest and most delicate of desserts – – but more of a chefs kind of place – – you know the ingredients are going to be the finest out there. My only quibble is the inflexibility with the vegetarian sandwiches in their refrigerator – – the staff would not make me a fresh sandwich. But this is a minor quibble. I really do recommend them without reservation.”

Steak House • $$$$
“We visited this amazing establishment last night and ordered the filet and the Manhattan strip for our entrées with a side of the mushrooms, and it was possibly one of the best steaks we had had. Our server and Jesse was wonderful, and when he wasn’t available home, there was another manager who came and brought items out, so there was no delay in service while he was attending another customer and socialized at the table. We dined outside on the patio underneath the heat lamp and lights. The Barn was the perfect atmosphere for our relaxing evening together. We were very pleased with all that we ordered as well as the service. We would highly recommend the Barn restaurant to others.”

“Delicious Mexican fare, including fresh tortilla chips, salsa, and guacamole. But the real standout was our server Aidenn, who was extremely warm and attentive, making for a fun and memorable afternoon.”

“This is our second visit to Burl, and it did not disappoint! The food is ultra fresh and the flavors are vibrant. The ricotta honey spread, the carrots with a dreamy black lime yogurt sauce and the trout were standout dishes.
The service was attentive and unfussy, which I appreciated
This spot is such a great addition to the North Shore.”

“I am not local, this is a regular go-to place for a friend, so when I visit with her, she wants to bring me. I had a Chinese Eggplant with chicken dish, flavorful and spicy. Also had some nigiri sushi, all very good. The Black Tobiko was plentiful and fresh. The Tamago and Inari, which are types of sushi that are deceptively simple seeming but really show a chef's knowledge and artistry, were excellent. I'm sure I will go again.”

Looking back at our wedding photos, it is truly impossible to tell the difference between the inspiration photo sent and the cake delivered to our venue. It was GORGEOUS! In addition, the flavor was out of this world. They even sent a custom box to package our top tier for easy transportation after the reception. From planning to delivery to execution, Sweet Temptations exceed all expectations. Photo credit: Emma Petersen Photography”

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff that makes you feel at home, and huge portions at rock-bottom prices like true American classics: eggs, chilaquiles, and perfect hashbrowns. Cash only, but it’s absolutely worth it for the old-school, genuine experience without frills.”

“Not the best dog or polish in Chicago, but definitely in the top ten. This from someone who has been shoving them into his face for over sixty-five years. I've been to 'em all on the north side - Lerner's, the Ranch,' the Pit, Sammy Skobel's, Wolfy's, Fluky's, Dear Franks', Michaels, Stashes, Mutt and Jeff's, Shmendels, and all of the Irvings. ALL of them. Little Island stands right up there. What they do have that is the best in Cook County are their fries. Best ever. They don't travel well, so have them there. Grilled polish is outstanding. And NEVER, EVER, EVER order a dog or a Polishj with anything red - ketchup OR tomato. Two stars for atmosphere - if that's important to you, go to Portillo's.”
Coffee & Tea • $

Overall, it was a wonderful meal, greatly appreciated by everyone. We'll return!”

“Amy Morton doesn't know me at all. We live 235 miles away and we are not able to dine at her restaurant anytime soon. Nevertheless, we sent a blind inquiry looking for information on a performer who appeared at Found Kitchen 3 years ago. Our inquiry is never going to make any money for Amy, we know that and she knows that. Altho she could have blown off our request, she had her staff reach out to us the next day with all of the contact info we possibly could need....because she's an awesome business person and a great restaurenteur! Every restaurant comes up short on the quality of an entree from time to time, water glasses might not get refilled as rapidly as a Yelp reviewer might want......it happens. We wanted to share with your FB viewers our experience with Amy's staff and let you all know how much we appreciate her and her dedication to customer service.”

“Solid spot to eat. Staff was very friendly, menu choices broad and interesting, food good, and neighborhood was a nice vibe. Only issue was service. The people part was great, but there was some kind of breakdown, as we ordered drinks when we sat down, they didn't come until after dinner was delivered (some 30 minutes later), and even to get a follow-up I had to call staff over. But overall it was a good option, and I'd return again.”

“The best roast duck in US !!! It is a tie compare to the best roast duck in China!!!
All fat under duck skin is melting out and leave crisp skin and attractive aroma. Duck meat is tender and delicious, and the black sauces is soulmate for the duck!!!
All dish is good , even the side pickles is done very right!
Than Bistro is clean and new, air is fresh , environment is relax and cozy,
A hidden gem in this area.
As a good home chef, I am very picky on food, i donot write review until some dish real surprise me. This time, is the duck.
Sorry for the half eating dish , I am not prepared for write a review. 幸福来的太突然，哈”

“Run. Do not walk to Fred's. This is not a 'european style' cafe, or a 'french themed place'. Fred is French. His flour is French, his receipies and techniques are French, and as I found out when I visited last weekend.. all of his ovens and various baking machines have been imported from France too.
Where to begin? The pastries were divine. Fresh, packed with flavour and refreshingly light, I tried my best to taste as many of them as possible but I failed. Though I was stuffed to the gills, I still had to try some of the lunch options - Le Parisean (the sandwich) was exceptional, so too the quiche.
They are also serving locally roasted coffee from one of Evanston's own roasting companies - we love that, especially when it comes in those beautiful Vero glasses.
As an owner of a coffee shop myself (in another country) I want to compliment and congratulate Fred's for the exceptional attention to detail throughout this lovely place. Those who have not done so before will struggle to appreciate the many multitudes of decisions required to put together a perfectly designed Brand and shop experience. The glasswear, the plates, the cutlery, the chairs and various shapes of table - hell, even the light fittings are a bueatiful metalic shade to compliment the strong 'french blue' accent colours throughout.
This independent bakery & cafe is doing absolutely everything right, and it will be an absolute scandal if you have read this far into this review and you don't drop what you're doing right this second and run to Fred's. They deserve it and you won't be sorry.
