The chef and owner making rounds to check on all the guests.
Cassady H.

Having found this place on the North shore restaurant month list and then looking at the menu I was already psyched to check it out. It did not disappoint. When you walk in there's two directions you can go, right or left. To the right is the dining room and bar area, to the left is the family section. The family section is a very impressive concept. Adjacent to the tables it's got a few arcade games so that young kids can entertain themselves and their kids menu offers a special "toddler" style which just means that they cut the food up for you so you can enjoy your own food a little easier. It's very clever to offer these options, and even more so to separate this section from the general dining room. Of course, we were here for the more traditional dining experience in the main room. With full window siding, white tablecloths (covered with a white paper cover for easy clean-up), adjustable table lights, cloth napkins, white brick walls and several hanging lights and fans this space strikes the perfect balance between high-end and casual. The dining room is very comfortable. We ate lots of food on this visit, I really wanted to try out as many things as I could. We started with the tomato basil flatbread. The base is actually a thin croissant crust, a really unique spin on a traditional dish. This was the best flatbread I've ever had! Just the right doneness, a perfect but simple balance of flavor, and amazing preserved tomatoes on top make this dish something special. For our mains we ordered the lobster roll pasta and the picnic chicken. The pasta was great. Very buttery with a good amount of tasty lobster pieces throughout the dish. The picnic chicken was excellent as well. It was cooked perfectly and still juicy. The topping of sweet and spicy peppers really brought it all together adding some much needed acidity to chicken. It comes with your choice of two sides, I opted for crispy brown butter potatoes and cacio e pepe green beans. Both sides were excellent but I was really impressed with the cook and seasoning on the green beans, the parmesan and pepper flavor really shines on these. Completely full, and with leftovers for the future, I still couldn't leave without some dessert. We ordered the apple bread pudding and the gelato sundae. The bread pudding is quite the big piece, it was like a slice of cake made into bread pudding! With lots of great flavor and a moist texture this was a great finish. It comes topped with some fantastic gelato as well. The sundae has 2 flavors of gelato over a bed of strawberries and chocolate and was devoured and enjoyed as well. I haven't been this stuffed in quite some time, this isn't one of those places where you leave hungry. All throughout our dinner the service was spot on. The waitress was friendly and checked in often. Our server brought us extra plates so we could share and they removed our used plates and utensils promptly and with a smile. I even had the pleasure of talking with the chef/owner for a bit before things got busy. She's working hard to fulfill her vision and I'd say it really shows in the concept and small details. She asked for any and all opinions, the good, the bad, and the ugly. This was really a perfect meal, I wouldn't say I have any complaints, but I'll offer a few small notes I have. For the chicken, I would have liked more peppers. Getting some in each bite would elevate the dish further. The crispy potatoes could use a slightly smaller cut to really get a crispy texture. The bread pudding would benefit from more apple pieces, it was delicious but it wasn't apple forward. A bit more of the maple sauce or syrup that it came with would be welcome as well. Those are all really minor things but those tweaks, I feel, would improve the experience. They've only been open a little over a week but I'm blown away with the effort on display here. I'll certainly be back to try even more dishes. Overall this is an elegant and family friendly spot that's upscale in design but doesn't break the bank. A must try!

Tomato Basil flatbread
Marianne P.

Outstanding! Went here for dinner on a Sunday night. The location used to be Pizanos pizza. The restaurant is beautiful. The decor is very stylish. I had the tomato basil flatbread. It was amazing. My friends enjoyed their choices as well. The chef was on Hell's Kitchen. Our server was very nice. She did double duty as server and bartender. I will return.

Grazing Board
Amy O.

Awesome dinner. It was fun to pick the items on the grazing board as a starter. We had the detox salad, lobster pasta, smash burger and keto chicken stir fry (special). In other words, there was something for everyone and lots of healthy options. I would order any of the dishes we tried again.

Lobster roll pasta - good flavors but a little dry
Ellen C.

Came here in search of comfort food, and while it didn't deliver on that, the food, service, ambience were all pretty solid. Interesting location in a random spot in Glenview - we've crossed it many times, really glad we finally tried it! This place is pretty unique - it looks nice, cloth tablecloths covered with kraft paper, contemporary coastal designs and leather chairs, it even seems to have semi-separated sections for families (with kids) and those without. In the same areas as the family section, there is a little play room with video games and toddler toys to entertain the young'uns while waiting for food or while the adults talk after a meal. The staff is amazing - everyone is so friendly and welcoming, huge smiles, thoughtful and attentive service. This is a great place for anyone - families, girl get together, date night. The only callout is that it can get LOUD here, whether it's the bare flooring or just the crowdedness, it can be hard to talk/hear in this restaurant. We ordered the kid's charcuterie board ($12) was absolutely adorable and SO creative. It wowed us in terms of presentation (on a cheese board) and the amount and quality of food (fresh berries, grapes, croissant bread sticks, waffle fries, deli turkey slices, half an avocado), and reminded me of an adult cheese board - what a great idea! They quickly brought us a little kid's plate to help make the food and portions more manageable. We also ordered lobster roll pasta ($38). The lobster pasta was good, could've been better, and apparently is a popular choice. The flavor was certainly there - you could taste the lobster throughout, balanced with a squeeze of lemon, including on the pasta itself. The pasta was cooked al dente, in a good way. And there was a fair amount of lobster pieces in it (don't expect huge lobster tail chunks), but there wasn't enough sauce. The pasta ended up a bit dry. The smashburger ($17) was promising, but the waffle fries left something wanting. The burger itself was packed with double patties, and a bunch of other deliciousness, including some type of relish that gave it a good bite. If you're not a fan of pickles, you might not like this burger, but if you are or don't mind it, then this burger is one of the better burgers I've had - well balanced!

Came here for a late date night and sat at a high top by the bar. The service was quick and our server was attentive throughout the whole night. We got the lobster Mac and cheese and the lobster sliders. The lobster sliders is like a lobster roll cut into thirds. The truffle lobster mac and cheese was priced at $40 but the portion was very large. Both were delicious and I definitely would get them both again. We also tried the espresso martini and the pear martini. Loved both but the espresso martini was very strong. It definitely kicks. Lastly we ended with the strawberry shortcake. Highly recommend. We truly enjoyed everything we ordered that night and can't wait to be back again.

Blueberry bread pudding
Jennifer D.

Excellent food and ambiance! Love what they have done to the place. Great drink selection and nice menu! Had the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and broccoli and blueberry bread pudding. The owner Jamie greeted all the guests. So excited for her new restaurant to thrive in Glenview!

Greek chicken w bacon Brussels
Chicago G.

I'm in heaven! Huge range of gf options - almost everything on the menu has a gf option, plus lots of vegan and dairy free options. Dedicated range, oven, griddle and fryer for gf. 2 kiddos have celiac (wheat allergy) so we appreciate this!!! Everything we had was so flavorful and fresh. It is a bit pricey ($35 chicken, $19 burger). We sat in the kids area which I think is wonderful if you have very small kids, but otherwise is a bit loud and lacking the ambience of the main dining room.

Smash burger with fries and lobster roll
Faith D.

Getting yummier and busier every week. Last night 4 of us shared wings to start. One person had soup and chicken meatballs for his entree. Other entree photos below. Forgot to take photo of gelato sundae which was a huge hit!! Love that managers and owner are checking in with diners. Way to go!!!

Lobster pasta
Lauren F.

Based on the great yelp reviews, I decided to try this restaurant for takeout tonight & it did not disappoint! Between three people, we shared the lobster pasta & lamb chops (2 double cut), which came with two sides. We chose broccoli oglio olio & the mashed potatoes. Both were very good, and the lamb chops were delicious. The lobster pasta had tons of lobster, and the pasta is clearly homemade, and it had great flavor. We will definitely order again!

Is there a gluten-free option on the flatbreads?…

I'm not sure about the corkage fee but the menu states that they have gluten-free options for the flatbreads, as well as dairy free and vegan options.

I had the California omelet (avocado, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese) with hashbrowns and pancakes. I upgraded to the berry pancakes (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries) for an upcharge. My child had the pancakes from the kid's menu which came with two small pancakes and a meat of her choice (she chose bacon). Food took some time to come out and we had to ask for water. My omelet was decent but the hashbrowns were overcooked and dry. The berry pancakes were just okay. There was fresh fruit on top but I didn't care for the berry drizzle on top of the pancakes as it tasted artificial. The kid's meal was very plain (I don't know what I expected) and I should have shared my meal with my child since she ended up eating all the berries off my pancakes anyway.

And it was tasty - my steak quesadillas and my mom got a house Cobb salad. Both were tasty and looked great. Our server Miriam was awesome with our orders, she came by to check on us and not too many times, and was there to help us with leftovers and leaving stuff. She struck a nice balance of not being there vs being here too often, so that's Ace's in my book. Since it was Mother's Day, it's crowded and a bit loud but not too loud where it was too obnoxious, except for a few people who had no manners at all on dress, but that's another topic I won't go to, for now. Tables, plates and silverware were clean, and one can still get around, even with one table behind us with a handicapped person, it didn't crowd up much at all - it was all very reasonably spacious. Definitely will come back here, though I do miss that older lady who was our server the last time before today, who was very nice - had a bit of an attitude to her personality but not too much to make it tasteless, some sass makes for an interesting day. (Hope you are doing well, ma'am!)

We were in the area looking for a good brunch spot and stumbled upon this gem: Walker Bros…read more Original Pancake House The place has charming old-school diner vibes, with decor that feels straight out of the early '60-70s in the best way possible. Cozy, nostalgic, and super inviting. We were seated quickly, and our server took great care of us throughout the meal. We started with fresh orange juice and coffee, which was the perfect way to ease into brunch mode. I ordered a small stack of pancakes with spicy hash browns and bacon, while my husband kept it classic with scrambled eggs and toast. And wow...the food absolutely knocked it out of the park. The hash browns were insanely good. I never realized hash browns could pair so perfectly with pico de gallo, but now I'm convinced. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, and the bacon was thick-cut and cooked just right. This is definitely a spot we'd come back to. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food somehow manages to be even better.

If Walker Brothers has something going for it, then it's the cuteness and charm of the interior -…read moremore on that later. Walking in, the setup is confusing. While there is an "in" and an "out" door, it seems that the host stand and cashier station are one and the same, resulting in a bunch of people queuing. Thankfully, one of the hosts/cashiers noticed, asked if I was waiting for a table, and I was promptly seated. It is perhaps a blessing that the menu lists calorie counts, for I would have ordered the Apple Cinnamon Pancake without a second thought. Only it is 1,880 calories, and that's before the ice cream upgrade that's still tempting me as I read their menu. I ordered the Blueberry instead. What I liked about these is that they weren't overly sweet, and had a hearty amount of blueberries within. I'd also like to recognize that biting into them, I didn't encounter a spray of blueberry-gut-lava that's burned me when I attempted blueberry pancakes at home. However, while not bad, I found them in no way remarkable. Neither the textures nor flavors were anything to write home about. Rather than a gently crisp exterior and fluffy interior, they were instead similar to something between custard and cake. In terms of the service: I thought it was friendly, polite, and once the order was placed, the food came out in no time. Otherwise, the service felt a little inattentive. For example, after I said I needed just a minute to decide, the server did not stop by in longer than expected. Also, towards the end of the meal, it didn't click that I was to pay the cashier rather than the waiter... a little "D'oh" on my part, but a reminder would have been appropriate and welcome. As for the vibe: there is so much wood, if you dumped the restaurant into the lake, it would float! Adding to the vibe are some lighting fixtures with stained glass, and others are decorative, but mismatched, if not outright missing. Staff wore uniforms reminiscent of those seen in old movies. Final verdict: While I appreciate what Walker Brothers is trying to do, and their prices are reasonable, I do not feel the experience was enjoyable enough to warrant a return visit. Okay pancakes, and service that could use some polish are not enough, especially with many fantastic breakfast spots in Chicagoland.

My dad had an office and n Glenview when I was younger and this place was there and he had never heard of it. I guess if you were local or took the Metra, then you knew. I made a reservation as there were twelve of us coming in. We arrive for our monthly Burger Club with high hopes. It's a cute place. They have a nice outdoor deck area and the inside has a nice wooden bar with tables around it with two or three additional rooms of seating, too. We asked for separate checks, and our server told us it was no problem (it was). They have a lot of burgers to choose from so we thought that this would be a great place to go. I'll say this, our server was wonderful. Super nice, really friendly, always refilling drinks. Just a wonderful experience with her. And that's where it ends. My burger came our perfectly prepared (they ask what temperature you want and I wanted medium rare). The patties are insanely thin and toppings, while fresh, are overly abundant. Fresh lettuce, tasty pickles, etc. the burger had no flavor. No salt or pepper to season it or anything. And mine was the best of the group. Others received burgers that were overcooked, had the wrong buns, came with caramelized onions, but were raw -were sent back and came back raw again - and the sides were underwhelming. I don't like ketchup, so I asked for ranch and it was thick and had a funky flavor to it. Then bills came and they were all wrong. She had mixed up every bill. Thankfully most burgers cost the same, but drinks and some side upgrades don't. We will never go back here. I have no idea how they stay in business.
