    Super Salad
    Anne Marie H.

    I always love coming to Pinstripes, especially during the holiday season when they decorate so beautifully. After seeing the national news, I came to realize that many Pinstripes' locations have closed, but fortunately this one was purchased by a different owner to keep it going. At the host desk, where you check in to get a table, I've always asked for their vegan menu. This time, however, they told me they no longer have one which was disappointing. (Later, I found one on their website.) I ordered their whipped hummus appetizer which comes with some veggies and crostini. It's also one of their happy hour specials so it was a great price! For dinner, I ordered their super salad which was an incredible blend of veggies, figs, raspberries, etc. The service was excellent; our server was very friendly and attentive. The one thing that I would highly recommend that this location do immediately, is clean the walls next to the booth. And if they can't be cleaned, they should be repainted. They are in bad shape.

    Went here for an Easter brunch and had a fine experience. I had previously gone to the South Barrington location for a brunch, so I already knew what to expect. That is, a nice buffet with above average presentation and a wide variety of different food options to satisfy all needs. Given the spacious layout of Pinstripes, it's pretty easy to wander around the different stations to get food without feeling too cramped. Even when the dining room was completely full, our server Sargoon was able to quickly refill drinks, clear plates, and checkup on us from time to time. Throughout the meal, there were also other staff who periodically helped to clear the plates as well, so that finished dishes weren't sitting around for too long. The food itself is fairly good for brunch food. In particular, freshly baked/griddled items such as waffles, biscuits, pizza, etc. really shined and were noticeably better than most buffets. The quality of ingredients was also quite evident in the sausage, smoked salmon, salads, fruit cups, etc. that all tasted quite fresh. The prime rib here is pretty good, though not as good as steakhouses that offer a brunch option. With that said, the entrees overall are better than most brunch places I've been too -- with items such as the pastas, grilled veggies, and brussell sprouts standing out as delicious savory items. The dessert table is quite a site to behold, though I found the actual sweets to only be okay. I've had better elsewhere, but the different options to go with the chocolate fountain definitely make for a fun experience. Overall, worth a stop if you want to enjoy a delicious brunch. This is one of the more upscale and elegant options that is great for a special occasion.

    The bag my wife's gift was in

    To begin, I must preface this and say it is Mother's Day. The busiest day in the restaurant business. And my family comes to Pinstripes Mother's Day Brunch every year. And now... Our service was terrible. Server did not check on us, was late bringing out water and silverware. He was loud, abrasive, and inattentive. Appeared to avoid making eye contact with the table. Said words like Huh, Wha, and did not act professional at all. On at least 3 separate occasions there were no plates available at the buffet. The first time we went to the buffet, we waited so long for plates that when we returned to our table, it had been cleared. Our food, drinks, my wife's gift from our daughter...all removed from our table(see photo of the bag they returned the gift in). And the explanation given to us was we were gone over 10 minutes. Well, had there been plates at the buffet we wouldn't have been gone that long. I did share my concerns with the GM. And sadly, he didn't even say I'm Sorry. Poor customer service. Lastly the food...Many empty steam strays, bacon sitting in grease, waffles that we could not bite thru. Ran out of coffee creamer before noon! Just completely unprepared for today. In summary, I have brought my wife and daughter here every year for Mother's Day for many years. We have always loved the time here. However, Pinstripes was not prepared today. This was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've ever had. The price was almost $150 for the 3 of us. I do not mind spending good money for good experiences. And I have many choices where to spend it. Sorry, but never again at Pinstripes An update to this review.... After posting this review, I received an email from Pinstripes the next day, offering their apologies and giving me a link to their website. This link did nothing to address this issue. AGAIN, I responded to them. Mother's Day was May 10, today is May 16. It has been 6 days since I contacted Pinstripes, per THEIR request. This is the only communication I have received from them (see below)... We have received your inquiry and a member from our team will be reaching out soon! Thanks, The Pinstripes Team NO WONDER they have closed most of the Pinstripes...their lack of customer service says it all.

    Great spot for large parties or celebrations. We did a graduation dinner here and our family had their outdoor reception area all to ourselves. Lots of space and great service. Food was good for what it was, but wouldn't come here on the regular.

    I attended a special celebration at this location on a Saturday in mid October - a bar mitzvah. We were situated in the far right banquet/party room with access to the outdoor fire pit, etc. the party had 100+ kids plus adults so it was very crowded. The layout was really nice and all of the service people that we ran into were very friendly and helpful, especially the one serving food and beverages. The kids were served an appetizer buffet with cheese, curds, mini cheeseburgers, and other items for their main meal. I think they also had chicken tenders and some other items which I couldn't see clearly. The adults were served family style, which was garlic bread, ravioli, salmon, and Caesar salad. I thought the adult food overall tasted really good. And there was plenty of food for everybody at the table. My only qualm is the soft drinks, Pepsi, didn't taste like it had enough carbonation or was cold enough. Overall, we had a really good time there there's plenty of parking out front. The location was clean. The restrooms were clean. Can get very loud for an event. Kids seems to have a good time.

    Been to a few different Pinstripes locations but never this one. Met some friends on a Monday night. They have a Happy Hour in the bar Mon-Fri from 3-6 with limited small table seating. Since we're were having dinner,we sat in their Bistro area. They also have a huge outdoor patio with outdoor seating as well. It was fairly crowded mainly because of their Monday unlimited Chopped Salad and Spaghetti and Meatballs special for 12.00. Needless to say,we all took advantage of this special. My wife is Gluten Free so they made her salad and pasta gluten free with an upcharge of only 2.00. The Signature Chopped Salad is the real deal..grape tomatoes,roasted corn,kalamata olives,gorgonzola,burrata,cannelloni beans ,dates and crispy noodles. Delicious! The spaghetti was with a flavorful marinara sauce with beef meatballs. You can add a meat sauce for 2.00 extra. The food was delicious,our server Emma was fantastic and we were not rushed at all. I will definitely be back ,maybe to try their Happy Hour specials in the bar area.

    Warm brownie & ice cream

    I came here on a weekday for lunch with some friends. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. This is my first time at Pinstripes - I've heard many good things about their weekend brunch which I'll have to try one day. I was surprised to see how fairly busy they were for a weekday lunch. I'm glad we made reservations. I ordered the spicy crispy chicken sandwich with parmesan fries. For dessert I got the warm brownie with ice cream. Everything was delicious and my friends and I had a great time catching up.

    Chicago-Style Baby Back Ribs with Truffle Fries
    Agnes K.

    Tuesdays is Two-Fer Tuesdays where you can buy one item and get a second same item for free. We chose the baby back ribs and substituted the parmesan fries for truffle fries. The ribs were fall of the bone and full of flavor, however we questioned if we actually received a full slab as the portion seemed small. The truffle fries were a bit over seasoned with pepper and took away from the truffle flavor. Our server was wonderful though and she made sure were had everything we needed. While we came for dinner a bit early the dinner rush hour filled up fast and kept the servers on their toes. The manager noticed we were waiting for our bill and stepped in to get us our check and processed our payment. It was nice to see management helping out!

    My family went to Pinstripes for brunch on Easter weekend. Brunch is served buffet style. They have a huge selection to choose from. They offer an omelette station, ham and roast beef station, waffle and donut hole station, eggs, bacon, sausage, vegetarian and breakfast pizza, and many more items to choose from. Some of my favorites were the waffles, donut holes, and biscuits and gravy. The waffles were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The biscuits were moist and flaky and the sausage gravy was a perfect compliment. Don't forget to visit the dessert table featuring a chocolate fountain, cookies, strawberries, rice krispies, marshmallows, and more. Since it was Easter weekend, we got to take our picture with the Easter bunny. Since it was Easter weekend the brunch buffet cost more but I didn't see anything additional on the buffet to justify the price increase. In addition to great food, you can also play bocce and bowling. I recommend Pinstripes, I'll just come on a non-holiday weekend next time.

    Don't come here...

    I first knew The Glen Club as an employee and later came back as a patron. In high school, after…read morecaddying at a country club in Northfield, I moved here because the money and culture were better. I worked the bag drop and cart barn while also caddying, which meant long days moving between clubs, carts, and loops around the course. The experience was awesome, and I genuinely liked the people I worked with. Years later, I still think The Glen Club offers one of the best return-on-effort golf experiences in the Chicago suburbs, although I am now a bit removed from the local golf scene. The Tom Fazio course is beautiful, well-maintained, and challenging enough to stay interesting while remaining playable for an ordinary golfer. You can walk with a caddie or take a cart, and both experiences are great. It feels removed from the city even though it is easy to reach from Chicago and close to the major highways. Beyond the course, the entire property works unusually well and is great for events too. Since I left the area, family members have stayed in the guest rooms, and we also held a baby shower here. The driving range is spacious, the food is good, and the staff is friendly and helpful without making the place feel stiff. The terrace overlooking the 18th green is an excellent spot for food and drinks, while the surrounding Glen has plenty of restaurants and bars for before or after a round. Today, the clubhouse still feels sophisticated and has aged remarkably well since I watched the property take shape while living nearby. I have also attended professional tournaments here, and it is a great place to watch golf because the course, terrace, and clubhouse connect so naturally. The Glen Club has the quality of a private country club, the accessibility of a resort course, and more polish than a typical public facility. I play whenever I am home and can make it work, and I highly recommend this place.

    The course was nice and well-kept but the service was horrendous. We walked in the afternoon as a…read morefoursome and ON THE FIRST hole told to "speed up play." At that point we decided to play best-ball scramble style. And realized that there were solo players behind us in carts. We let them play through and didn't see a single person until the final hole. During the time when there was nobody in front of us or behind us we were approached 3 more times by the marshal telling us that "people were calling the clubhouse and we needed to speed up." We then couldn't even tee off of another hole because one of the residents decided to have a prom party on the tee box and had hundreds of high schoolers take pictures on the tee box. Until the service gets better I cannot recommend this course. You would be better off playing at just about any other north side course or even a true muni. At greens prices over $200, it just doesn't make sense to have service like this.

Wonderful dining -- casual attire but a nice menu; phenomenal service, and plenty of TVs and an activity room available to keep kids occupied. Tennis. Paddle tennis (one of the biggest programs in the US apparently, with a relatively recently rebuilt paddle hut that is spacious, well appointed, and has a regular bartender). A well appointed and maintained fitness center with personal training, classes, massage, and all of what you'd expect at a fitness club. A four lane 25-yard swimming pool that is surprisingly underutilized much of the time...and also features a kids' swim team that has become competitive among the North Shore programs. 18 holes of par 3 golf -- fun, family friendly, and again, without the pretense or expense of a "big time" golf club...and still with leagues, lessons, and events. The real showpieces of the Club, though, are the beach and lake open from Memorial Day through Labor Day (sometimes a little earlier and a little later depending upon weather). Sailing. Kayaks. Pedal boats. Paddle boarding. Swimming (some triathletes train by swimming around the lake -- it's about a mile around). Catch and release fishing (mostly for the kids). An adults-only area. A super casual beach cafe. Unsurprisingly, servers who'll deliver soft and adult beverages to your chair. A recently launched outdoor bar that complements the outdoor dining, weather permitting, in the warm weather, with lovely views of the lake and surrounding areas. Along with that, there are myriad family oriented and adults-only events, from bingo nights (really -- and they're a riot) to a "turn back the clock" New Year's Eve party where "midnight" is nine pm to the expected holiday events (gingerbread houses, caroling dinners, St. Pat's, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc.). Breathtakingly good and popular 4th of July fireworks (usually on the 3rd) on the back nine of the golf course -- this typically draws over 1000 people and, along with many of the other events, features kids' activities like games, small rides, face paining, etc. Among the biggest draws is the youth sports camp which is as brilliant as it is well executed. Drop the kids in the morning; pick up in the afternoon. They get exposure to a variety of activities and sports and get fed. Counselors tend to be teenagers who are well trained and lead the events; the camp is run by a seasoned professional whose approach is to sneak in ideas of character and sportsmanship along the way. The clubhouse and grounds (golf course, beachfront) are great spots for a wide variety of events including corporate outings, family parties, prom dinners/photos, and weddings. Through the years, Valley Lo has maintained itself well and made significant investments to keep up and improve its clubhouse, athletic center, paddle and pickleball facilities, and now golf course. It's welcoming and inclusive -- while it is a private club that requires sponsors, it's not a draconian and super selective process like some country clubs, and tends to welcome all comers. Economics are considerably more attractive than big time golf clubs as well. We've been members for more than 15 years, raised our kids here, and have come to know and love the team ("staff" always seems demeaning to this reviewer) and the membership. If you're not a swanky golf club person but prefer something less stuffy and more fun and family oriented, Valley Lo should seriously be on your list to check out.

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.
