Best Cozy Restaurants in Highland Park

Scotty’s is a warm, neighborhood restaurant with excellent food, and the service is even better than the food. The atmosphere is upscale casual, friends meeting friends, but you’d be comfortable dining alone, especially at the bar. Prices very reasonable, especially for the quality of fare.

This is such a quaint and dependable restaurant. An awesome setting with great food and attention to detail. Our server got off to a slow start, but was able to make strides by the end. Wine was not exactly at the right temperature, but our server made sure to cool both bottles down fairly quickly. Great experience!

My gawd we ordered so many things from the menu. The buffalo mozzarella, fired calamari, bruschetta special and mussels were outstanding. Entrees were phenomenal and portioned generously. We had to sit at a high top at the bar and waited 20 minutes after our reservation time, but they were so apologetic and kind! I can hardly wait to return!!

Always a pleasure and a treat to dine at Bluegrass. The hosts are so gracious, the food is always delicious, and the service is excellent. Our favorite dishes are the orange chicken and the smoked chicken which is a Tuesday night special. The latter is served with the most scrumptious corn pudding. Our friend had the tilapia which she really enjoyed. You can't go wrong with any menu choice there.

The drinks and food are consistently awesome. The food is high quality and a real taste of Eastern European food. The service has always been great. We travel from Wisconsin to here often, a must try if you’re anywhere close to.
