Best Casual Restaurants in Winnetka

My server recommended a dish I thought exquisite. The service and the food was excellent. Great portion on the mussels. My server was polite and informative and helped to make a great Christmas Eve.

Being in from Boston for a quick holiday trip, we were pleased this place was open on a Monday for lunch. Valet parking, quick & polite for under $10. Hostess quickly seated our party of 3 in a covered, sunken garden terrace type dining room . Comfy seating but the youngish crowd was pretty noisy. We are older but I didn’t feel over dressed in my black blazer. The room and the attractive crowd would have been a good setting for a Jeff Lewis or Housewives episode. I got an Amalfi Blue ($16) good, tasting, fizzy lunch cocktail that didn’t leave me pulverized. Casa Lena Burger($18) was delicious. My wife got the Ahi Tuna Sandwich ($24) Looked like big portions, and our guest had the Steak sandwich, also big & she brought half home in the restaurant’s distinctive take out bag. Panettone (it’s Christmas time) and Passion fruit sorbet. Perfectly prepared . The attentive service people were professional and striking looking.

I celebrated my birthday at Joey’s, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Megan, our waitress, was incredibly kind, attentive, and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the evening. Charity, the manager, even took the time to personally come over, meet us, and wish me a happy birthday, which made the night feel even more special. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend Joey’s for any special occasion—or just a great night out!

Everything about this staff is five star. Stephanie , Claudia, Isais, and my wonderful server at the Bar . I wish I could remember everyone’s name. Ever since they opened, they have been there for me for every wonderful occasion and I won’t go anywhere else to eat meat. love the WOODLAND HILLS STAFF!

I just love this restaurant. Love it a little bit more when I can eat outside as the noise level is very high. A little tough to carry on a conversation. Other than that, though, perfect place. Always good food and always good service.
