Restaurants near Nico Park

Great time at Cafe Touche. Wide selection of food and drinks between the menu and the specials. Food and service were great. Fun ambiance reminiscent of a french bistro. Valet parking a big help because it can be a challenge to park otherwise. We had not been to Cafe Touche in a while and we vow to get back more often in the future!

This was the second time I had lunch at Ema in Glenview and like the first experience, everything was excellent. I highly recommend the tuna patisse (it is slightly spicy) and both the brussels sprouts vegetable dish and the brussels sprouts salad. We had an early reservation for so the restaurant was quiet when we arrived but by the time we left, it was almost full, which was festive.

Always love a night out here perfect lighting --it was surprisingly vibrant for a Wednesday night great service

A group of us met there to catch up. The music made it hard to hear and when the live music began, it was more of a challenge. The food was good and portions nicely sized. We had 2 burgers, the daily special NY steak, and a salad &soup. We all enjoyed the food. Service was inattentive- I think she had too many tables throughout the restaurant. But, we are looking forward to returning and enjoying the outdoor patio.

01.16.2025 Ryan, Bartender and Server Ryan, like Tina, his typical bartending partner (see below), does his job extremely well. He is thoughtful, professional, kind, polite, warm, caring, and genuine. His food and beverage ordering suggestions are always helpful and instructive. Ryan makes customers feel comfortable and valued. He always remembers and to my continuing delight, usually delivers my favorite libation without being asked. Also, as with Tina, Ryan treats everyone with the same high level of care and service, not only the regulars. We have observed him and them long enough to know. Of special note, one truly valuable and rare highlight of Ryan's character is that he is chivalrous. To be clear, every Cooper's Hawk Morton Grove employee with whom we have interacted has been above average. I point to these two in particular because they are exemplary. If I had employees or perhaps even children, I would feel quite fortunate to have Ryan and Tina be among them. This may seem over-the-top, though I mean it most sincerely. And I believe S. feels the same. Also, for clarity, we receive and expect no compensation for these reviews. We hope to provide some warm return and share our gratitude for people whose presence and kind assistance make our lives better.
