At the end of our meal he turned to me and said "it either used to be way better here or maybe the restaurants in the burbs have just gotten a lot better over time." Our meal last night at Pescadero was just A-OK. Our waiter got the job done, but wasn't overly helpful. Ex: he asked after we put in our entree if we wanted anything else and we decided to throw in some oysters. He then told us he didn't know if he could get them out before our entrees since he already put in the order. Well he asked, didn't he? When we asked if the east or west coast oysters were meatier his response was "they are all the same here." They get a star for having Riesling and it was a pretty tasty one. We had very unexciting shrimp cocktail and oysters for our apps. I would skip both next time, which is sad for a seafood & oyster bar. For my entree I got the scallops special. According to my last review from here i loved the scallops. These scallops (served with risotto) were enjoyable, but would probably order something else next time. And my husband said his salmon was just fine. I love a good seafood & oyster bar so bummed this didn't live up to our past meals here, but it's a nice atmosphere so was still a nice Sat evening out in downtown Wilmette.

Utensils are provided, but this shellfish paradise is essentially a finger-food fort. The napkin dispenser on the table sure does come in handy. You can get a generous glass of wine for $6.95 (I forgave our server for not knowing the difference between chardonnay and cabernet) and a beer for even less. The hush puppies melt in your mouth. My Missus enjoyed a bowl of seafood gumbo and a fried scallops basket. My colossal fried catfish basket contained 4 planks fried to perfection, a generous mound of fries, and salad with a very good ranch dressing, all for $16. Need I say more?

We went on a Saturday and this place was phenomenal. They had a special that included lobster,…read moreshrimp, snow crab legs, potato, and corn. We added sausage, crawfish, and blue crab. Started out with hush puppies and some fries. We went with the combo flavoring and medium spice. It was amazing. My son and I got all of this and split it. In hindsight we should have each gotten the special rather than the split. Our favorite was the lobster and if we both got the special we would have each gotten one. Shrimp were our 2nd favorite and the crab legs a close 3rd. The sausage was a great addition. It's a bit of work to get the food but well worth it. My first seafood boil and will definitely be back. They had quite a bit of fried food that also looked delicious. Awesome spot!

We went there with another couple. Even though we arrived an hour before our reservation, they were…read moreable to accommodate us. This was our second time there, the previous being as outstanding. My girlfriend and I both opted for the halibut with farro special. I'm a pescetarian and picky about my fish and this was perfectly cooked. The basmati reduction was mellow and savory. The couple we were with had pasta and both loved their dishes. This is the quality of food one would hope for in a downtown or River North restaurant, but it's in Evanston with more reasonable parking. The menu leans towards elevated Italian, and not the heavy red sauce stuff (not that there's anything wrong with that). Everything has been great. The restaurant itself is in a vintage building with nice high ceilings. It's much larger than what it seems from the outside. All in all, a nice place to take a date, or for a special occassion or even if you just feel fancy. Not too spendy considering the food quality and service. Can highly recommend.

Happy Hour is a decent deal. We were the only people at the restaurant when we arrived and were…read moreseated at a table. We asked about Happy Hour and were told it was only at the bar.

Confusing Anyway, our bartender was lovely and the food was very good. Highlights were the lamb meatballs, the onion and goat cheese tart, and the taquitos. The crab cake wasn't great and definitely not worth the price. The space is cozy and you don't hear the train at all. Drinks were fine - mine seemed very light on the gin.

We started with the Dan Dan Noodles, Soup Dumplings, and Pork & Chive Dumplings. Both types of dumplings were good, although definitely be careful with the hot broth inside the soup dumplings! I personally preferred the Pork & Chive Dumplings because I thought they were seasoned a little better. For the entrees, we ordered the Fried Tofu with Yu-Shiang Sauce and the Clay Pot Tofu with Mushrooms and Vegetables. I preferred the Yu-Shiang Tofu because I really liked the sauce. We also tried the Salted Egg Yolk Shrimp, which was just okay. I've had better versions at other restaurants. The Hot Chili Chicken was a favorite among the group. It was a good portion and had great flavor. We also pre-ordered the whole Peking Duck, and there was a generous amount of meat. The skin was nice and crispy, and I really enjoyed the spring pancakes that came with it. I actually prefer the pancakes over the mantou, and they gave us plenty, which I appreciated. The toppings paired nicely with the duck as well. My only complaint was that I wish the duck itself had been seasoned a little more. Service was okay overall. When we first arrived, it seemed like they were just getting started for the evening, so things were a little slow at first. As dinner progressed, though, the service improved. Overall, it was a solid meal for a large group, and there were several dishes I would order again.

The salt and pepper ribs were perfectly seasoned, and the clay pot tofu was pure comfort food packed with fresh veggies. The quality here is top-notch, and the portions are great.
