Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Highwood

Our server gave us great care and told us about the 1/2 bottle wine sale that we took advantage off. The food was great too.

Excellent casual weeknight dinner experience! Cocktails were creative and outstanding with an Enormous selection of bourbons and single malt scotch. We had salads and burgers, both of which were terrific. Our server, Sean was extremely attentive and available without being intrusive. The owner, Jen was working as the bartender as well as intermittently mingling with patrons and overseeing the busy take out section.

Been there twice since it opened about a month ago. Met the owners, husband and wife, both are very nice. Food is very good. Same chef as its predecessor Next Door Bistro. Several of the same servers and bartender as well. Service is a little uneven/slow (waited 10 -15 minutes for drinks, and another 10-15 for entre after salad course). Prices are fair but about 20% higher than it used to be at Next Door. Overall very enjoyable and I know they are working hard to address the service issues.

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.
