French Restaurants near Highwood, IL

“Although Miramar offers excellent meals and a well-designed environment, that evening's service left a bit to be desired. We were seated promptly as we had a reservation.The water came quick, with the choice of sparkling or still. The bread and waiter were quick as well; the issue was with the utensils. The man who would bring utensils didn't come many times; we had to ask him three times for new forks and knives after they were taken. The food, as I said, was great. With good flavors and a balanced use of ingredients, the food didn't feel overfilling. The steak frites and crème brûlée were the shining items at our meal. I would overall say it's 3–4 stars only due to the issue with utensils; it may have been only that night; still, that was my experience.“

“We hired Froggy's from a list of approved caterers at our venue. They also provided some dessert. Froggy's tried to meet all our requests and people seemed to enjoy the food. The service was attentive during our meal and open bar time. There were some unfortunate issues at the end of the night and a missing cake, but Froggy's did their best to resolve them (for example, making a new cake top for us to enjoy on our first anniversary).“

“Michael had advertised a pop up special for Friday night of a lobster and mushroom lasagna which was simply wonderful. The portions were large and the presentation was beautiful. Many people seated near us enjoyed the same offering and were obviously pleased.“

“The food is wonderful and the staff is working under socially challenging circumstances and handling it with aplomb! I recommend Pomeroy for any meal... because their food and service are both incredibly solid... their signature apple dessert is... and I wanted to hate it, a little because it was SO PERFECT... but I couldn't, because it was also one of the most delicious things I've eaten! The staff is exceptional and they have the ability to make a busy weekend night seem like a dead weekday afternoon... you never have to wait for anything, and your needs are met by anyone and everyone who is within reach of your table... Which means, every manager, host, server, busser, and runner etc will get you whatever you need when you need it, despite the fact that they all have an actual job to do! Because this establishment realizes that working as a team to make the guest experience wonderful is the key to success, especially in a place like Winnetka. Pomeroy will last forever... or that is my hope!“

“Always reliably and delicious well-made food. I love the salmon with farro, spinach and mushrooms, as well as the chicken pot pie. Great wine list, friendly, professional service and ... FREE PARKING (every city-dweller gets excited about that!)“

“This is one of my husband’s and my favorite place! We were a big fan of Creperie St. Germaine so we are so happy that they haven’t completely changed the delicious menu and the interior is the same cozy place we love! And the crepes are to die for! This place is freaking AWESOME!!!“

“Food options and preparations were excellent. Dishes creative. Service outstanding and gracious. Choices of desserts superlative as it also had a patisserie. Wanted to try them all. The ambience was beautiful and warm. I love dining out and I live in Chicago but happened to be up north. I would most definitely go back again“

“Sunday night dinner was Le Colonial and it's typically always booked for dinner, but they have a bar lounge where it's first come first serve and we practically had the room to ourselves throughout dinner. On a gloomy, foggy day a bowl of Pho sounded so yummy, and I was right, it was yummy. The presentation of the spring rolls was very cute, but I do wish there was more than just one shrimp in each roll, but I get food costs are rising. The lychee dessert is such the perfect balance of tart and sweet.“

“In town for business and George Trois came highly recommended (Thank you, Susan!). Perfect time of year as Chef Michael is showcasing a beautiful tasting menu featuring perigord truffles. Everything was absolutely delightful from the great service (Thanks, Abran!) to the fantastic wine pairings (Thank you, Brian!) My favorite dish was the Coquille St. Jacques “En Tuxedo” which was scallop and truffle encased in a butter pastry, swimming in a lavish champagne-caviar sauce. Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much and such a great honor to meet you and your team. George Trois is a MUST VISIT for any true gourmand.“

“Incredible food! This is such a great option to have restaurant high quality Meals specially prepared to be taken home! I have tried most items, and often get some sides & appetizers, to have for lunch next day. I especially love the eggplant Parmigiano, Sour Cherry saffron rice, Prosciutto & mushroom pasta, etc. Service is really friendly, with the proprietor hands on! I highly recommend this local treasure!“
