    YIKES - with such high reviews of this newer Latin cafe, we had high hopes. We came here in the morning, and we were excited to try out their beverages and some of their items from the pastry case - we ordered: +a churro donut - where's the cinnamon? this was just a sugar crusted bread-y donut that was cold, flavorless, super dry, and inedible; this was tossed +a poblano/cheese scone - this was not even warmed up, and it was just a rock of 'bread' - no taste of cheese or the spiciness from the peppers; this was tossed +a latte with almond milk - not sure what kind of coffee they use, but this was lukewarm, extremely weak, and was unenjoyable +a Mexican hot chocolate - this was awful; seemed to be made from a generic packet of artificial-ness; in addition, the mug that it was served didn't seem to be washed, as it had a 'saliva/spit' odor to it - gross! None of the items we had ordered tasted like how they were described or were supposed to be. While the cafe itself is cute and cozy, and I loved their shelves of various figurines and collectibles that you could purchase, the food/drinks were just not worth the money nor a visit. No dice, Mil Colibris. +avoid the dried-out, flavorless pastries +avoid the beverages +street parking available in the area

    A thousand dreams, a thousand hugs, a thousand hummingbirds. -- Mil Colibris "We're devoted to making this bakery a special place: celebrating our cultures, exploring food traditions and serving as a warm hearth for our local community." This is a cute bakery/coffee shop in the Ravinia neighborhood and I want it to succeed. We enjoyed our coffee, Mexican hot chocolate, churro donut and avocado toast. It's simply decorated with a few tables, plants, inviting bakery case. My friend enjoyed their avocado toast which came with a small green salad. The churro was okay, a little dry. The scones and croissants looked very inviting. Friendly staff, they said they had been open a little over a month. Sending thoughts of hummingbirds your way.

    Here's what you need to know: Love Mil Colibris. Perfect woman owned small business that is the cornerstone of any good neighborhood. All baked goods made freshly in house. Delicious panini sandwiches (chicken tomatillo) and quiches (chorizo). Yum! Always a delightful service experience from any member of their team. Could not ask for a better breakfast/lunch spot.

    Moldy tres leches on Monday, bought from cafe on Thursday.

    Old pastries, moldy cakes, enough said. Also, gross n dirty bathroom often without soap.

    This is the place we've always needed in Highland Park! Incredible conchas--seriously best I've ever had--and the breakfast burritos can be made vegetarian. So dang good. Don't sleep on the churro donuts or quiches! Iced latte is perfect every time.

    Love the food and coffee here! The burritos are great, and so is the breakfast sandwich and quiches. Also can't forget the chilaquiles!

    Towne & Oak has an assured sense of design that makes Hubbard Woods feel momentarily closer to…read moreLondon than the North Shore. High white ceilings, pale wood, and the indoor tree give the café an unusually polished presence, while excellent coffee keeps it grounded in daily life. Every visit I've made has found it buzzing, with the easy social energy of a true neighborhood gathering place. In some ways, it feels like the next-generation version of what Foodstuffs in Glencoe represented years ago: cosmopolitan taste translated convincingly to the North Shore. Its character becomes even more apparent in the way the space shifts naturally from café to event venue to community gathering place. Spin classes are a particularly clever touch, and the Home Alone decorations during the holidays are a wonderfully self-aware nod to Winnetka's place in popular culture. Something is appealing about a place this refined having enough confidence to be playful, especially when the humor is so specific to the town around it. If I lived nearby, this would be an easy regular meeting spot: elegant, useful, and unmistakably of its place.

    For starters, let's get the spelling correct, it's the Freehling Room. Specifically, a private -…read moreyes private, dining establishment adjacent to the Bennet Gordon Hall, within Ravinia Park, in the town of Highland Park. This place should be exempt from any Yelp review, including this one, as it is (again) in the private domain, not public. Well, how much you ask, is 'membership' - correction there also, that well publicized on Ravinia's website under 'benefactor levels'. No specifics given here as that is not the purpose of this review. Therefore it is my assumption that any previous trashy reviews, should be given the reader attention they should - that being, less than none. Less than favorable reviews more than likely came from bitchy benefactors guests, not the benefactor(s) themselves, who more than likely picked up the tab for dinner, that made it possible for their ignorant barbarian 'guests' who amazingly learned to spell and dine with a fork and knife without dragging their knuckles, to write this garbage. The elegance of the room is understated, you can feel a warm vibe once you walk in This is the place for civilized dining, pre or post concert, whether the CSO or Pitbull is playing The front end is conducted by Debbie, while the staff performs in unison, just like an orchestra. The kitchen art cooked by Chef Carlos, is like Picasso on a Plate This is a 'must visit' place To miss coming here, and sharing that experience with a precious loved one, is tantamount to saying no to happiness End of story

Only 4 entrees offered but an alcohol (drink) list that takes up a whole page. The drinks menu is also terrible. Very poor wine choices. All menu is very high priced. Added more tables inside and it is difficult to enter or exit the tent seating. Tent is acoustically bad - people have to yell to hear each other and it just gets louder and louder. Very slow service as well, all 4 times. We have decided to not dine at Freehling any longer when coming to concerts. We loved it when Carlos and Debbie ran it and wish they had not retired. Now we see they also offer online ordering for people to pick up and eat on the lawn. Ridiculous, and probably hurts the service to donors actually eating in.
