Restaurants near Lakewood Forest Preserve

The restaurant was exceptionally busy but we were taken to our table shortly after arrival for our reservation. The waitstaff were friendly and service was good. Food was above expectation, except for the chocolate dresser which tasted like lumps of sugar. Definitely will go back.

This is a very nice, upscale, chain restaurant. Had a very relaxed and enjoyable lunch with a carafe of the vinters' reserve blend. The short ribs were melt-in-the-mouth fabulous.

Once again, Jane and I had a marvelous evening at this venue. Our server was superb despite the restaurant operating with minimum labor (not the owners fault). The salmon special was quite tasty and the asparagus was delicious. Jane’s escargot was so tasty I had a few (first time in 40 years!). A lovely dinner.

This was our third time eating here, first time sitting inside. Excellent all the way around. A great addition to our area.

Cute place in the heart of Wauconda! Other locations in Vernon Hills& Rosemont per our server. Great choice of appetizers to share: ( we had stuffed mushrooms & Nonni’s meatballs) Italian salad, & 2 pizzas: one tomato based the other with white sauce base: both were delicious! They offer sandwiches as well, & gelato in the front of Slyce! We enjoyed our meal, & will be back
