- KKateChicago / Illinois •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe new owners have delivered a varied and interesting menu at North Shore Bistro. A good selection of bistro and Mediterranean options that would satisfy the whole family. I had the barley soup and cauliflower steak and both were light, well seasoned without being overwhelming— really good! A bit noisy but solid service from a young team. Thanks for bringing this option to the north shore! Will 100% dine there again.More infoNorth Shore BistroPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Highland Park•4.3

- SsusanChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe restaurant is outstanding and beautiful. The food is outstanding. The service was a little slow at first, especially for a Monday night (but it was packed, on a Monday night!) And the line cook salting the crispy potatoes was waaaaay too heavy handed. I politely and not even remotely annoyed mentioned it to the server and they comped both the potatoes and one of our desserts, which was totally unnecessary and unexpected. We would come back again and again. In fact this is my second trip!More infoEma - GlenviewPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Glenview•4.7

- JJodyVIPChicago / Illinois •75 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThis was our first time at House 406 and really enjoyed everything about it! We had the pear burrata for an appetizer and salmon, burger and risotto for main entrees. It was all delicious. Nice atmosphere too and not too big of a place so it was great for conversation. Will definitely return.More infoHouse 406Price: Expensive• American• Northbrook•4.8
