Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Lake Villa

Great food and wonderful service! Will definitely be coming back here again

The new brunch at Tala House is fantastic. We had the Halloumi to start and it was the perfect sharing size and tasted great. We then had the Dill Omelet and Egg Sandwich, both of which were fantastic. The coffee was perfect and the service was excellent. The experience you get at the price point of Tala’s menu can’t be found anywhere else here in Chicago. Will definitely be back for brunch again very soon!

Wood is fast becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! There menu is ever-changing and highly unique. The cocktails are also exceptional. Our server last night was fabulous!

Outstanding dinner after Botanical light show! Really great food! Brussels sprouts and burrata appetizers were both wonderful as were the fish and chips. Cocktails great too. Service was just wonderful. Great experience at a fine price point!

Region never disappoints. A restaurant’s vibe is the most important thing to me, then food and then service, but Region hits it home on all. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant and fun at the same time. Starting with cocktails, the martini and old fashioned were perfect. Soups (baked French onion and corn chowder) were delicious and the sea bass I had as my main was, honestly, one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Our server, Joanna or Johanna, was knowledgeable, helpful and delightful. These are the reasons Region is at the top of our list!
