We went on Father's day. We were concerned that they would be too busy and challenged with service…read more Instead the opposite. Well service wise - it was empty when we got there, but filled up quickly. Very attentive staff from water refills, wine refill, and quick food. And very attentive on clearing plates (of course, all plates were empty except the leftovers to take home). With so many courses, the portions were generous. My favorite was the lamb - probably best I have had. She liked the chicken - it was tender and juicy with just enough charcoal flavor to balance the kabobs out. The decorations and ambiance was a nice mix of art without feeling over stimulated. The tasting menu was fun to refer against and made it easier to just enjoy and converse. A great addition to the neighborhood. We planned on it being a pre-theater meal, and it worked out great time-wise, but we mixed up showtime. Nice and close to Writer's Theatre around the corner. On street parking was easy. A great meal and service for a great value. Enjoyed talking with Chef and his passion for great food.

This is a gorgeous new restaurant in Glencoe! I've seen at least 5 restaurants open and close…read moreduring my 13 years in Glencoe and I'm hoping this one sticks. This definitely wins the prettiest of all restaurants in the space. The concept is unique. It's a tasting menu along with a glass of wine + dessert wine. All for $50/person, which i thought was a pretty good deal for the amount of food. It was sooo much food and quite good. Favorites included: - The bread was some of the best I've had. It came with a bunch of different tips, but the tzatziki was my personal favorite. And we liked the bread so much that we went for a 2nd bread basket, which was probably unnecessary with the amount of food that continued to come out. - there was also a cheesy bread that was quite good. If I ever run a marathon (unlikely) I will be coming here to carb load ahead of time. - Mixed grill platter was also tasty and the meat was a nice welcome after all the bread - Baklava was the perfect sweet dessert to end the meal on. It wasn't a very large portion, but we were quite full by then. The wine was tasty and I ordered a lovely drink as well. We were a party of 6 and i thought this was the perfect spot for a big group. While we saw plenty of parties of 2, my husband and I mentioned we thought it's a better option for bigger groups. I'm assuming they'll switch up the menu from time to time. I"d go back for this menu, but looking forward to trying different food in the future as well!

Great DoorDash deals during happy hour! I ordered the grilled Atlantic salmon filet with two sides…read more Mashed potatoes and the tomato bisque. The mashed potatoes were very plain but the creamy butter lemon sauce on the salmon helped out the taste of the potatoes. The soup was incredible, smoky and sweet with a little texture. Overall great price, I spent $20 with delivery and DoorDash tip! I was expecting a smaller sized soup, I was surprised how much they give for just a cup size.

My coworkers and I went here for a dinner after work. The interior is so pretty and well decorated…read more I love all the chandeliers and the plants (fake, but it works!) I like the complementary garlic bread. We got the chip to share and it's so good! So crispy and thin! The aioli is really good too. I got the branzino as my entree. I asked for whole. It was perfectly cooked. The parmesan crust was perfect and it was well seasoned too. I was told it's like 90% deboned. I wasn't too worried about seeing bones considering I asked for it whole. It was accompanied by garlic noodles and broccolini. I think the addition of the pasta was perfect. Most of the time the fish by itself with a vegetable doesn't really fill you up. As for dessert, we also got a few to share. I can't remember the names of all of them, but I think the cheesecake is banana foster? It was pretty good. The cake was like a lemon mousse? We liked that one too. I don't remember the name of the ice cream, but it was my first time trying it. It was interesting mix of flavors, it's not my favorite. We all want to go back to try other menu items, considering how close it is to work too!

I met some friends at Ovvio Italian Taverna. It's on a busy stretch of Waukegan and the small lot…read moreis valet parking only. It's a beautiful restaurant (my friend said it used to be a garage). We split some grilled bread with fig jam, whipped ricotta and olive oil and also shared some fried zucca chips. We also had salads, and I enjoyed my Ovvio Chopped salad which was generously portioned with soppressata, provolone, peppadew (love peppadew!). I'll have to come back for the homemade pasta (gluten free upon request). The staff was so accommodating and friendly, considering the restaurant quickly filled up and we were still lingering.

Was excited to try this place for my bday dinner. Loved the vibe but it was so extremely loud you…read morehad to yell to hear and we were sitting against the window. Taste was decent but not the best. Mozzarella log - best thing we had by far. Super crispy and cheesy, it was amazing. Only thing is we didn't love the sauce. It's sugary and sweet without any texture. Fennel arugula salad - was all arugula , no topping. Like literally 4-5 small shaved fennel pieces, a couple grapes, little nuts, Gorgonzola cheese, and they forgot the apple. It was all lettuce, barely any topping, and therefore flavorless. Plus they forgot the apple which they layer helped rectify but the whole salad was a disappointment. Sausage vodka sauce pasta - I expected more. Very minimal sauce (and it was sweet sugary sauce we didn't like), only a few chunks of sausage, and almost no cheese. Sauce is the texture of canned tomato soup, thin and watery. It was nothing special at all, it felt skimpy. Expensive for the small portion. Branzino - sooo salty! My mom can't have added salt and she couldn't even eat this. My dad and I also found it extremely salty to the point it wasn't as enjoyed. Expensive for a small piece that comes with no sides and nothing else at all. Twice baked gnocchi - loved the cheesiness of it! The gnocchi itself though was super firm and hard, not the soft and fluffy kind I would have expected and better enjoyed Butter cake - questionable. I've had many warm delicious butter cakes, but this was very sub par. Dry, barely warm, and no flavor. No crisp edge and buttery bottom either and the scoop of ice cream was skimpy as well.

Here are some highlights: great service (very attentive), family friendly, excellent food (nachos, calamari, wings, burrata salad, steak tacos, the veg flatbread, steak frites - phenomenal, and the chocolate cake), nice sports environment but not too loud. Areas of improvement: while I like their burgers and handhelds, my only knock against is the bread sometimes is a little stale, which is disappointing. An excellent addition to community!

Zenzi Den was an absolute treat from start to finish! My husband and I visited to celebrate my…read morebirthday and were surprised with custom menus! The inside wasn't overly large but was very well designed. They had a series of booths and banquets to accommodate all group sizes. I loved the unique light features, semi-private feeling of the booths, and warm atmosphere. We start with a round of drinks. I got the Kintsugi which was a sweeter old fashioned style drink. I really enjoyed the flavors and balance of the drink. My husband tried Star Platinum which tasted like their version of a Vesper Martini. For food, we shared a couple of dishes. First, we got the Golden Scallop Motoyaki which had crab and scallop mixed and baked with other creamy flavors. We then shared the Emerald Spider Roll, California Crab Roll, Crispy Duck Miso Yaki Rice. The Emerald Spider roll was a standout with great flavor and a beautiful presentation. The rice also came with a table-side poured sauce that sizzled in the cast iron bowl. Overall, there was not one bad dish. The presentation was all top notch and portion sizes were shareable for two people. If you aren't sold off the food and drinks, know that Zenzi Den staff will treat you so kindly. Our server Levie went above and beyond for us, made great menu suggestions, checked in on us enough. He also gave us a complimentary glass of sake to share for my birthday! He truly made our experience that much more special feeling which always deserves extra kudos.

This is a nice touch and makes it easier to understand what each dish entails. They also have a decent amount of outdoor seating, making it a good spot to visit on warmer days. Everything I ate was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had a nice light sauce. Moreover, the pork chop and chicken vesuvio were tender and packed with flavor. The portions were generous and everything seemed to be well worth the price. They also had a large selection of fresh pastries, pizza, panini, and coffee that I hope to try as well. Sorelle is great new eatery in the Glen shopping center and adds to the increasingly vibrant food scene of Glenview.

The beautiful presentation goes in pair with the flavor and everything we had was simply delicious. The service and the servers are super nice. Tuna tataki--absolutely deliscoius, fish was fresh. Combined all the umami flavors with spicy kick of jalapeno. Wild muushroom croquetes --crispy on the outisde with very mushroomy flavor inside, could have been a little bit saltier inside in my opinion. Beef Tartare-- made a french way , with awesome presentation. All the falvor mixed correctly. Good tartare is alwys a showcase for a good restaurante. Top notch , would definitely order again. Mushroom Risotte--had all the good risotto supposed to have, deep falvor, creaminess, rice al dente. Skrei Cod--refreshing, not boring with the sauce. Addition of sugar snap peas and bok choy went well with delicate fish. Lam Rack--perfectly cooked, served with demi glace, potato puree and carrots. This was very satisfying dish Dessert--Lazy dumpling , a polish classic. Allt he flavors of the childhood on the plate :) The wine selection is simple white or red wine which is not complicated but maybe in the future a wider selection would be a better option to accompany the dishes. Thanks for great dineer and we willl definitely come back !
