Restaurants near Lake Street Reserve County Forest Preserve

First time at Goat & Vine but it won't be my last!!! Vanessa was our delightful server and her recommendations were excellent! We started with the delectable roasted brussel sprouts, sweet chili sauce and cashews. Buccatini Carbonara, Eggplant Parmesan and Lasagna were our delicious entrees. Plus we got to choose a traditional pasta to take home!! Finished the night with a heavenly slice of cheesecake that was definitely big enough to share. Reasonable prices for a very enjoyable evening!

Christmas day- they were slammed! We arrived early, had an additional wait due to the crowd. We met Jamie the bartender had some excellent drinks, great service- even tho she was also slammed super efficient. Got to our table and met Paul our server- who had already put in a 9 hour day (same story on Christmas Eve), who was super pleasant. He handled our table cheerfully and efficiently. Everyone was hustling in the restaurant but we were not made to feel unwelcome in ANY way. The staff was exceptional, I know how exhausted I was after our Christmas eve with the family and it was lovely to be waited on and cared for! We make a point of spending Christmas day with family at the Bloomingdale Jamesons yearly and are so GRATEFUL they are willing to share Christmas with us. The manager is to be commended- it's not 2 days it's a marathon! Bless you!

Went for Christmas Eve. First time ever dining there. Menu was great. Appetizers were excellent. Great baked clams and the best fried calamari and shrimp with spectacular cocktail sauce. Margarita pizza was perfect. Strongly recommend the Zuppa do pesce. Sauce a bit of the thicker side than what I’m used to. But great flavor and generous amount of seafood. Excellent cannoli and gelato too. Our server was very attentive. Can’t wait to go back to try more entrees.

Our new favorite place. Excellent food and service ! The carrot cake is the bomb !

We had a group of four, one gluten free… our server immediately brought a gf menu and gf bread along with their delicious warm pretzel bread. Our appetizer of lettuce wraps was delicious and our meals were all hot and prepared perfectly.
