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!

With that grandiose opening, only these two "Starkers" could take me out for dinner to a restaurant 50 miles away (round trip) on a Saturday night. This better be good, I thought. Charlie Beinlich's Food and Tap out in Northbook is this Dive Bar / Tavern established in 1950 and looked and felt every bit of its 75 years; I absolutely LOVED this place. Wow, talk about nostalgia! Beinlich's emanated an era way back when that just doesn't exist anymore. At 7:30 pm this Saturday night this cash only place was packed to over flowing. I mean Humming like a turbine engine. The bar was sold out and we jumped on the only table left. Now the fun started: * Their Chili con Carne is this cauldron of meat and beans done thoroughly right. We loved it * Their shrimp cocktail was equally wonderful * My Cheeseburger was out of this world. With sautéed onions, real cheddar cheese, on toasted rye bread - Wow, it was so good. * Their French fries and coleslaw were great sides * My Miller Highlife Beer in a bottle took me back to my college days. The service was great, the ambience was better and the crowd was just this mess of very happy people. Will I come back here - a resounding YES! This is exactly what happens to you when you go out with the right people.

I visited here on a recent Friday with a group of almost a dozen and had a great time. We had a…read morelarge table (not sure is someone reserved it or not) looking right out onto Roger Williams ave. We had plenty of room and it was nice to have delicious beer, good food, and a pleasant view of this part of Highland Park. I've been here before when it had a different name, but it seems like little has changed. This is a well warn bar! Comfy seats at the bar and a smattering of booths and table with a homey feel - lots of wood and available light from the large front window. This is not a huge room by any means but it never felt crowded. Our group had mostly apps like guac and chips and a quesadilla or two. I tried a Kolsch lager and a Marzen lager both if which were a little cheaper than usual due to the Happy Hour Special of $5 a beer. Margaritas are $6 at Happy Hour. The beer was very good! We had a great waiter and being seated just a few feet from the bar meant no one went thirsty or hungry for long. On past visits I was seated on the back patio but we had rain on this most recent visit, and it's also March! (Patio season does not start in the Chicago area for at least another month or month and a half!) The patio is a nice little wood fenced in area with lots of tables and a back tap bar. Not sure if that set-up is still the same.... This is a great local bar with a lot of rustic, homey charm. I'd definitely recommend if you want good local beer in a friendly old-school bar.

We got the burger and truffle fries to share, along with / rolls and the karrage chicken. The burger was good with the caramelized onions but nothing significant to write home about. My favorite items though were the truffle fries, and the hot honey karaage we asked for the honey on the side so that we're able to share with our little but it was super crispy, and the chicken bites were juicy and delicious it didn't even need the honey. I truthfully don't love pickles but the pickles were delicious and I ate them all! The sushi rolls were both really fresh and had great flavor. Overall a good experience I'd like to come back during regular hours to try their regular menu. We were a bit disappointed that the only available menu was the happy hour one which was pretty limited.

I tried the fajitas and they were just ok. They don't come out super hot like you get at a mexican restaurant. Waitstaff is mainly college age adults and man they are slow. My buddies swear they aren't this slow normally but 2 times in a row, I'm not sure. It's hard to be there for less than 90 minutes for lunch. I get that we have a big group, but I don't think the kitchen can handle that many orders on a weekend quickly. The rest of the place was less than half full.

So the food was decent, the majority of them were overly oily.

It finally came to the table when the rest of us were almost finished eating our meals. This is not an acceptable practice.

The elote dip is quite tasty but the do not provide nearly enough tortilla chips to eat all the dip. Sadly, the chips tasted quite stale. The burger was very good, however, don't pay $5 for the fries, definitely not worth it. Mine were under seasoned and overcooked. My husband said it was bizarre how salty the breaded fish was. He was also not a fan of the fries. Being our first show at Ravinia we didn't know what to expect. I probably would skip the restaurant, maybe try the market there instead. We had pavilion seats, so we did not bring anything in.

Morton's made it extra special by printing Happy 12th Anniversary on our menu. Our waitress Cece was phenomenal!!! I cannot say enough about her. Her presence, kindness and prompt service was beyond our expectations. She made our night so special by congratulating, and complementing us and she was SO attentive...to top it off she gave us a free slice of key lime pie which was devine! We had the steakhouse wedge and split it and the split portion was so large that we were starting to fill up on the salad. It was excellent. Now to the main event, the 8oz filet which I ordered medium rare plus was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. The sour cream mashed potatoes and broccolini were perfect sides. I would go back here and order this whole meal if I could!! Highly recommend this Morton's location and request Cece as your server you won't be disappointed!
