I was surprised to find this Once Upon a Bagel when I was in Winnetka and stopped in to grab some…read morebreakfast. The sandwich was ok but the bacon was barely cooked, it was totally translucent. Gross; that part went in the trash and it would have been cheaper just to get an egg and cheese sandwich so bummer I wasted a bit of money. I got a few bagels and some jalapeño cream cheese but haven't tried them yet. There's a better selection of bagels at New York Bagel & Bialy, but this is where I was. I'm curious about the pumpernickel bagel for sure. I had a bagel with the jalapeño cream cheese and it was really good; the spice level is enough that it raises the heat without being uncomfortable. Service was good. The restaurant itself was fairly large--I actually forgot that they have a sit-down section since they're kinda separated. There's some parking right outside but also the village has a parking structure down the block on the other side of Hubbard Woods Park.

I live nearby, and have been going to Bluestone for 10 months. Each and every time I would go--the…read moreservice just gets worse, Worse, WORSE...to the point of completely unacceptable (today). I sat at the bar, did not get so much as an icewater, let alone any eye contact, or even any acknowledgement that I have a pulse; I am at your bar; and at some point in time, down the line--I actually might want a MENU--which I had to personally ask for--over 20 minutes after seating myself. There were four workers on their staff, behind the bar. They did not seem to be doing much (of anything). I had to personally ask for my water refill, each and every time. The service is so completely slow and incompetent, I had to cancel an order and leave--it took so long, and I was having diabetes problems--still, however, for the price they try to charge for their drinks on tap, and the price they try to charge for their overrated (at best) food; the "bar talent" and/or professionalism/efficiency of their staff, from top to bottom--is considerably lacking. My experience at Bluestone is worse, Worse, WORSE--each and every following time I make the (poor) decision to go. I really wish Central and Prairie had other bars, with better culture, better professionals, and better "bar talent"--because a place like Bluestone would be GONE in FIVE MONTHS. As I checked out today, one of the bartenders, a young African-American male--made it a point--to tell me "he was giving me a great deal on my tab; half price off my second beer." There is a problem, though--I only ordered, and drank, one beer. He was clearly embarrassed (as he should be), when I explained this to him, and then he 1)stared me down, and 2) threatened me. That is a walking definition of U N P R O F E S S I O N A L. I will happily drive across the North Shore--than walk 200 yards to Bluestone. The food is decent. The beer on tap is solid...but the Glaring, overall lack of Bar Talent, along with the piss-poor and UNPROFESSIONAL service--I just...I can't...I can not, in good conscience--bring myself to ever go back there, again. I am 46 years old, and have worked in the restaurant/bar industry for 30 of them... It is "Amateur Hour" at Bluestone, every moment of every day. They do not even look at you (customers). Totally unaware, spaced-out, not-at-all focused...Not just (anybody) can be a decent bartender--it kind of helps to be somewhat "sharp", somewhat "alert", be somewhat cordial, friendly, or amiable...Nope! NONE of that, at Bluestone. What a waste--of perfectly-good real estate--in an otherwise beautiful part of Evanston. Bluestone is a STAIN on the Community.
