I am trying to eat healthier these days, and was pleasantly surprised by the selection of delicious salads and hummus on the menu. My husband ordered the Feed Your Head vegetarian white pizza, which was superb. This time the gentleman behind the counter, Matt and Matt, introduced us to hot honey and giardiniera, both made in-house. Giardiniera is an Italian relish or condiment made from a medley of crisp vegetables--typically cauliflower, carrots, celery, and peppers--pickled in vinegar or oil. Those were delicious toppings to enjoy on pizza or a salad accompaniment. Whenever we return to Winnetka, we will be sure to stop here again!

Just so you know before reading, I'm Greek and I'm a chef, so any Greek restaurant, to me, is…read morealmost always a disappointment. However, despite my low expectations, this place was not bad. The Avgolemono, for starters, was pretty good. The saganaki was a bit salty but also pretty good. The skordalia was surprisingly garlicky, which I enjoy (I like mine like a bomb) but I think it might be too much for most people. The zucchini chips were good, for main courses we got the White fish with lemon sauce which was good, and the lamb and potatoes, as well as the chicken souvlaki. The souvlaki was a bit dry and under marinated, but the potatoes I was very impressed with. Overall not bad, and I think any non-Greek would definitely enjoy this place a lot! If you are Greek, I'd still give it a try, definitely one of the better Greek restaurants in that area.

Date night at Avli had some great moments, but overall fell short of expectations…read more First, our waitress was super sweet and she made excellent wine recommendations, which we really appreciated. Service-wise, she was attentive and kind. We ordered a full spread and specifically asked for the courses to be paced so we could enjoy everything. When three appetizers came out at once, I politely reminded them and asked to hold off on bringing additional dishes. Unfortunately, despite that, the rest of the food continued to come out all at once. It made the experience feel rushed and frustrating, especially since dishes started getting cold before we could enjoy them. The highlights were definitely the zucchini chips, artichoke, and Greek salad, fresh, flavorful, and easily the best items we had. The rest was underwhelming. The octopus was just okay, the grilled calamari was chewy and lacked flavor, and the red snapper was a bit dry. We also never received the broccolini we ordered, which added to the disappointment. There's potential here, especially with some of the appetizers and the warm service, but the pacing and overall execution need improvement to really elevate the dining experience.

Towne & Oak has an assured sense of design that makes Hubbard Woods feel momentarily closer to…read moreLondon than the North Shore. High white ceilings, pale wood, and the indoor tree give the café an unusually polished presence, while excellent coffee keeps it grounded in daily life. Every visit I've made has found it buzzing, with the easy social energy of a true neighborhood gathering place. In some ways, it feels like the next-generation version of what Foodstuffs in Glencoe represented years ago: cosmopolitan taste translated convincingly to the North Shore. Its character becomes even more apparent in the way the space shifts naturally from café to event venue to community gathering place. Spin classes are a particularly clever touch, and the Home Alone decorations during the holidays are a wonderfully self-aware nod to Winnetka's place in popular culture. Something is appealing about a place this refined having enough confidence to be playful, especially when the humor is so specific to the town around it. If I lived nearby, this would be an easy regular meeting spot: elegant, useful, and unmistakably of its place.

We got the burger and truffle fries to share, along with / rolls and the karrage chicken. The burger was good with the caramelized onions but nothing significant to write home about. My favorite items though were the truffle fries, and the hot honey karaage we asked for the honey on the side so that we're able to share with our little but it was super crispy, and the chicken bites were juicy and delicious it didn't even need the honey. I truthfully don't love pickles but the pickles were delicious and I ate them all! The sushi rolls were both really fresh and had great flavor. Overall a good experience I'd like to come back during regular hours to try their regular menu. We were a bit disappointed that the only available menu was the happy hour one which was pretty limited.
