    I have noticed that our visitor seems to be a somewhat conservative eater, always ordering the same meal. I asked them what they wanted for dinner and they replied, salad. Since I left this somewhat late in the afternoon on a Saturday, it was somewhat difficult to find a reservation for our entire party, food that we all might enjoy as well as the wished for salad. I thought House 406 satisfied our requirements. House 406 in Northbrook is named after the restaurant's Montana vacation home, and features locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, bringing a farm-to-table experience. This sounded intriguing, especially after our enjoyable Glacier National Park jaunt last fall. We enjoyed gawking at the Cybertruck in the parking lot. The restaurant is located next to Francesca's North and there is a Sunset Foods there as well. The parking lot was extremely crowded but we found a spot next to the Cybertruck. Inside the space is rather small and cozy but we were seated in comfortable chairs at a standard table. There were a few people at the bar and small groups seated throughout. I ordered an Italian Brambleish which was a mocktail although the way they served it gave it all the elegance of a premium cocktail. It was delicious and the greenish fresh note that I enjoyed was juniper essence. I ordered the horseradish Parmesan crusted whitefish and a Brussels sprout salad. The salad was fresh and green with crisp Granny Smith apples, salty cheese and fennel and hazelnuts. I loved the horseradish sauce on the tender flaky whitefish -- a little kick but not nose-clearing. My friend ordered the spicy corn soup and the oven roasted frenched chicken breast which had a crispy skin and rich bone marrow and ramp sauce. We also split some Parmesan truffle fries. The visitor ordered a short rib and brisket burger which they liked but said was a little dry. They asked for bbq sauce and said that tasted great and helped the burger. They did not order a salad. By this time the entire restaurant had filled and was quite noisy with friends greeting each other and the bar was full. We tried Grandma Dory's carrot cake which was four layers high, although the cake was dry and I would have preferred cream cheese frosting on it to buttercream. I did see that the carrot cake was gluten free. We enjoyed the fresh and seasonal tastes at House 406 and will make another housecall soon.

    We've been recommended this restaurant by so many folks and decided to come by for dinner for date night. The restaurant is a bit tucked away in the same plaza as Sunset Foods. We had a reservation but was running late due to catching the tail end of a freight train. But once we got there we were seated right away, and our waiter immediately came over and asked for drink orders. While I wasn't ready in that exact moment I ended up getting their blueberry mocktail which was delicious. They then brought out some warm bread, which was rosemary flavored. It was a bit overpowering but was still enjoyable. I got the skirt steak while my husband got the burger. I think I was a bit taken back by the steak because it was a bit overdone and rather burnt on the ends. The flavors for the caramelized onion and the sauce were Divine. For an entree costing $50+ it was rather shocking that it didn't come with sides. The We also got a side of truffle fries ($11) and Brussel sprouts ($9) to share. The fries were great, we didn't really taste the truffle flavor on them or in the aioli, but the Brussel sprouts were great. We didn't really see our waiter much after receiving our food as he got busy with the tables around us. After a while we were able to flag him down for our check. He was super sweet, but may have been a tad overwhelmed. Overall, we had a decent experience.

    Chicken with polenta and mushrooms

    My friends and I popped into House 406 for a quick dinner after a day at the Botanical Garden. Since it was a Saturday, we called ahead, and they were able to seat us right away (it was ~6 pm). By 7 pm, the restaurant and bar area were pretty full - it's a cozy place with both indoor and outdoor seating. The patio just overlooks the parking lot of the strip mall, but still a nice option to enjoy the weather. Inside was giving bourbon & leather vibes - great for a date night. The service was pretty good - everything came out pretty quickly, including some yummy complimentary bread to start. I can't remember the name of the cocktail I ordered, but it was basically a smoked old fashioned and it was phenomenal. For food, I opted for the chicken with mushrooms and polenta, and I basically cleaned the plate. My friend let me snag a bite of her shrimp & risotto, which was also very good and flavorful! It's a limited but thoughtful, quality menu - so I would just check online ahead of time if there's a picky eater in your party. My bill for a cocktail and entree was ~$55 with tax+tip. I would definitely return if in the area.

    We've been to House 406 a handful of times, and I'm genuinely surprised I haven't reviewed it yet. When we moved to the area in 2018, House 406 was recommended to us and has never let us down. From a date night to Valentine's Day to celebrating professional wins, it's a place that makes us feel welcome and adds some extra sparkle to our experience. They have an incredible bourbon list and offer bourbon flights. On our most recent visit, we opted for cocktails instead and were both happy with our choices - an Old Fashioned for me and a gin cocktail for my husband. Food is very good. It's upscale and elevated without being pretentious. I often opt for fish here because I don't like cooking it myself but enjoy eating it. I most recently had the horseradish Parmesan crusted whitefish. The sauce was excellent and the fish was flakey and mild. We shared a side of Brussels sprouts, which were also very tasty. Service is warm and friendly. Even at their busiest, we've had good experiences with kind, knowledgeable servers who can make suggestions, explain a cocktail, or steer me away from an allergen. We'll keep coming back here. The food is interesting and well-prepared, the service is great, and we love supporting a small local restaurant in our community.

    Social Inn has been on my to-try list for some time.  My husband and I finally had a chance to…read morecheck it out on a Monday evening recently.  I made a reservation via Tock that I already had an account for years, so that was simple. On a weekday evening, as expected, the restaurant was not busy.  We were promptly seated at a 4-top table (2 × 2-top) against the right wall, with some other 2-tops on both sides.  Like many reviewers had mentioned, the venue was beautiful, modern and chic. There were 7 tables occupied, including us.  The music that they had was not too loud, just that customers' conversations were amplified by the box shape open dining area.  If we focused enough, we could hear every conversation if we wanted to.  This was obvious when a table of about 6 women got seated at a table near the front door, some of them laughed and talked very loudly.  My husband and I just found it funny and didn't let that bother us.  However, when the restaurant is filled on busier days, it might be a different story. Our server, Patrick, was very nice and attentive.  Since they did not list drinks on their menu except those with alcohol, I asked him about non-alcoholic drinks.  After a brief "discussion", he asked me to leave it to him to make me a drink with mango.  He came up with a beautiful drink that was good and refreshing, with some mango flavor.  It was Virgin Paloma on our receipt for $8, which was reasonable.  He was very polite and checked in on us several times at appropriate times during our dinner.  The pace of the dinner was good, we spent a total of an hour and 15 minutes in the restaurant. Patrick might be the only waiter serving all the tables that evening, though. I also ordered Grilled Octopus ($22) which was very good, tender and flavorful, but was a little too salty to my taste.  The small pita bread wedges were warm and fluffy with some crispy edges, the beet hummus was creamy, and everything was delicious and tasted fresh.  I generously shared 2 little bites of octopus with my husband and I finished the entire plate, it was so good!  My husband really liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) and I shared a bite of that too.  He also had a House Salad for $6, that was a very good value.  He enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Crossing ($12) too.  We also shared an order of Crème Brulee ($8), that was creamy and cooked perfectly.  We ordered a takeout order of Rigatoni with Sausage ($23), that was a good portion, and was still delicious and al dente the next day after being microwaved. I am so happy that we found Social Inn - a hidden gem in Plaza del Prado, it's not far from home, with comfortable and beautiful ambiance, excellent service (from Patrick), an attractive menu with enticing food (fresh ingredients and appealing plating), and reasonable prices, we will definitely be back!

    It's been a while since I went to Social Inn. They used to be open for lunch as well as dinner, and…read morethat was easier for me to get to. We were in the area late in the day and remembered Social Inn was open, so we went. We ordered a variety of items. I had the Social Burger (at least 1/2 pound), we also ordered their chicken dinner salad and the beet hummus. Everything was delicious. I did order my burger medium and it was delivered well done, but it was still good. They also have one of the best gluten-free buns I've ever had. I do wish they were open at lunch time still, but I understand they need to be open for their busiest hours. Social Inn is a great option when you are in the Glenview area.
