Best Casual Restaurants in Evanston

Chicken vesuvio was very good ! Fish was excellent and filet very good . Salad was very crisp and generous portion. Service was outstanding with the waiter and helpers brought water and drinks. Best t ime to go i on Saturday night is 5:00 or 5:15 ! Enjoy , you will love it .

We had the tasting menu and loved every dish. The ambience and service were delightful. I recommend Khmai if you’re looking for an authentic and elevated food experience on Chicago’s north side.

L. Woods is such a great place!! I go there quite often, and I try to get something different each time. I can honestly say that everything that I have ever ordered is really, really good!! Tonight I had fried fish--Walleye, to be exact, and it was incredibly tasty! I often get the Mahogany Chicken, because that is my favorite, but I do try to mix it up. Not only is the food excellent, but everyone is very friendly and accommodating if you have a special request. I travel from downtown Chicago to the suburbs because this restaurant is so wonderful! Also, I ordered some side dishes and desserts for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, and they could not have been better. It is just a simple down home darling place to get a great meal--the bar is always totally hopping, as well as every table being filled. So make sure to make a reservation or you may be disappointed! I cannot say enough great things about L. Woods--just a great meal at a very reasonable price!! Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises has done it again!

I've eaten here several times, and every time is a great experience. The menu has a wide variety of delicious dishes, and the servers are always great - engaging, fast, and kind. I love that the menu notes whether items are vegan, gluten-free, etc. And the food is delicious - both the entrees and the desserts!

Service was fast and they had excellent calamari and octopus tapas!
