Restaurants near Columbia Park

The food was delicious. Because they were out of baby back ribs, I was forced to try something I’ve never ordered before. The stroganoff was delicious!

Despite them clearly being short staffed (and I can understand being it was New Years and some staff probably cancelled) they were very attentive and I was very impressed how friendly they were. The food was amazing and the latte I had is very possibly the best I've ever had!

This was our first trip to Francesca - Lincolnwood, as it only recently opened. We were great fans of Francesca's in our Edgewater neighborhood and were sorry to see it close several years ago. We were very favorably impressed with Francesca - Lincolnwood. For starters, there is a convenient and spacious parking garage right next door. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, who we noticed was keeping busy throughout the evening helping out in various other capacities to keep everything running smoothly. The menu and wine list both had lots of choices, and the portions were generous, leaving us enough leftovers to take home for a second meal the next night. The Italian chopped salad was especially delicious and is highly recommended. We also found it hard to choose from the variety of desserts, but all were great.

Chicken Katsu, combination “D”, nabeyaki udon, oyster fry app, were all delicious. Very classic & traditional. Nina, our server, was great, attentive as usual.

It was very busy. We were seated quickly upon our arrival. The staff were very busy and it took a while for place settings and water. Also waer refills were very slow and needed to ask multiple times. We were told timing of pizza which was acceptable for how busy they were (45 minutes) We ordered appetizers and salads which allowed us to be eating something while we waited for pizza.
