A True Neighborhood Tavern With its homelike atmosphere, the Valley Lodge is one of the iconic and go-to restaurants on the North Shore. Founded in 1969 by brothers Peter and Taki Adamis, the Glenview location quickly became THE popular dining destination. In 1997, new owners Bill and George Stavrou carried forward the tradition in Glenview, and later in 2014 when they opened its Wilmette location.

Our philosophy has always been and is to create a true neighborhood tavern. One where our guests can be comfortable, relax, and take the whole family, friends, business associates, or even the whole team where they can enjoy quality service and exceptional food at a great value.

                      Very good service, noise level high. Recommend the chicken kabob, but forget the onion soup. Request to sit by the fireplace. Cozy.

                      This was my first time at this restaurant and I was really looking forward to it. We were seated on the patio, which of course has a very different feel and experience than the main lodge. It was rather chilly inside, though was very cold outside. we did not order an appetizer, so can’t speak to that. The house salad was robust with lettuce, but lacking anything else other than a cucumber. I ordered the white fish as my entrée and it was adequate. The green beans were good. Just overall a very average meal and experience. Not sure we will go back.

                      Popular neighborhood tavern/restaurant for locals, always busy. Food, service and prices above average and one of our favorite restaurants in glenview, except for the noise level. It is hard theses days to find a busy restaurant that isn't noisy but Valley Lodge is earsplitting, have to yell to speak to someone across your table. We would go twice as often if it wasn't so noisy, try to eat fast and get out of there as soon as possible. I used to be in the restaurant biz and owner and very high on my priority list for ambience was sound proofing, nobody seems to care any more.

                      Good value and portion size . The patio is bright and the fireplace adds warmth and ambience to the area. The service is attentive but not intrusive

                      This, one time, run down restaurant had a change in ownership many years ago. The new owners changed the menu and added a very nice new addition. The success of their efforts can be observed by the popularity it now enjoys. The food is good and fairly priced. The "bar scene," overflows with positive energy. It is probably best to avoid dining between 6:00p - 7:30p on Saturday in order to avoid being placed on a waiting list.
