Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Lincolnwood

Food was absolutely delicious, fresh and exciting to try. Surprised my boyfriend for dinner here because he enjoys a hanger steak, which is a hard cut to find. He said it was one of the best he’s ever had, they cooked it to his liking, and it was perfect. Drinks were outstanding, service was excellent, very romantic and sexy atmosphere. There was a table that was extremely loud behind us, luckily they left shortly after we got there though. Other than that, everything was phenomenal! Don was our server, he was also delightful! Will be returning!

Nick was a superb waitperson Food was tasty Drinks well made

Everything was so delicious.. compliments to the chef ! It’s great place for a date night. We’ll be back!!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Artango, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff, setting the tone for the entire evening. The ambiance was perfect—elegant yet relaxed, with soft lighting and tasteful decor that made us feel both comfortable and special. Now, let’s talk about the steaks. Simply put, it was one of the best we ever had. Cooked to perfection, the exterior had a beautiful sear, while the inside was juicy and tender, just as we ordered. The flavors were rich, and the seasoning was spot on, enhancing the natural taste of the meat without overpowering it. Paired with a side of asparagus, mashed potatoes, and a glass of full-bodied red wine, it was a meal that left us savoring every bite. Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. If you're looking for a place that offers both exceptional food and outstanding service, Artango is a must-visit. We can't wait to return for another incredible meal.

What a treat to rediscover RL after moving from Chicago a few years ago! On a bitter cold and snowy day, we decided on a last minute late lunch and had a marvelous meal. Our server, Amanda was outstanding, personable and enthusiastically answered my husband's questions about the walleye, which he throughly enjoyed. It was light and flavorful and deemed as good as (though he meant better) than the shore lunches he had while fishing in Canada. I enjoyed the off the menu special crab cake that was sumptuous and delicious to the last bite....better than the ordinary restaurant fare. Though we usually like to read the dessert menu and then pass so we can smugly congratulate ourselves on our willpower, we gave in this day when Amanda told us about the peanut butter cheesecake-like texture presented as a small cake shape and drizzled with chocolate. Boy if there was ever a time to deviate from our cautious approach to desserts, this was it! This was how do they describe it, "smack your mama good?" That was it. So good we talked about it on our way back home to Michigan...the entire visit this time renewed our love for Chicago and the little moments like this that mean so much. A great way to spend some time during a classic urban winter snow storm. Thank you Amanda and the talented RL chef!
