    Northfield skillet with scrambled eggs
    Boyle W.

    My colleagues and I stopped by for lunch. It's not a "classic-styled" diner. It's a regular, classic diner, which is great to see and experience. The size is comfortable and we were greeted with a "sit anywhere you like". Even though it was lunch, I ordered off the breakfast menu... because of course you would. I chose the namesake Northfield skillet (scrambled eggs, medium rare skirt steak) and a pancake side. The skillet was mostly... fine. It could have been more seasoned, but the salt/pepper were on the table so maybe it was a "season-to-taste" kinda thing. Everything was fine... it was mostly fine. My colleagues and I finished everything cause there was no garnish or flare or anything superfluous. Everything was mostly... just... fine.

    This place is such a welcoming neighborhood diner. My wait staff was friendly, full of very relevant information to include they filmed an episode of a Amazon Prime show here last year, and provided one of the best recommendations I have tasted in a long time. I ordered my usual ham and cheese omelette with American fries and English muffin. I had to ask what American fries were and it turned out to be sliced potatoes served like hash browns. The omelette was fine. Overcooked for me, but it tasted right. Nothing special. The American fries (still having a hard time with them being called fries) were cooked perfectly. Some crisp areas areas and still you can tell this was a full potato this morning. They must have a master on the mandolin. I was still hungry after it all and my wait staff said "people love our pancakes". Challenge accepted! I ordered the short stack. Often with pancakes one of two things are off... the pancake, or the syrup. This was perfect! Perfect! The amount of vanilla in the pancake balanced out the maple syrup perfectly! I felt like a kid. The price for all of this is extremely reasonable. I would have paid more. I will definitely return.

    Hidden gem right off 94. Clean, large menu & cute place. Haven't been here since Covid & extremely happy to return.

    So nice to see this restaurant opening up again! I have missed them so muchNice service, great food- l recommend the Grecian chicken ( call ahead, since it takes 40 min. to be prepared just for you)!

    Always wonderful food there great comfort food and the people again are very nice. I've never had a…read morebad meal since going there almost close to 20 years ago. A friend of ours turned us onto this place and anytime we are in the area. We always stop by. The ribs are awesome, the burgers, and just plain old comfort food, especially on a real cold day like today Valley Lodge restaurant hits the spot. It's very nice and cozy in there and the people are always really nice including those who attend. It just seems like a down home restaurant/rustic place that I always enjoy coming to.

    Had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Chips. The chips were extremely soggy. They were dripping oil…read more No crisp to them and you could fold them with your tongue without breaking. The sandwich wasn't that great overall. Overloaded with BBQ sauce. To the point there were piles on the plate by the time I finished.. Poorly shredded, if even at all. And could tell the meat was on the dry side (maybe that's why it was drenched in BBQ Sauce). Was able to get fries instead of the chips once I brought it up to server. Fries were alright nothing great. Other people in my party didn't find their meals amazing either. Rueben Sandwich and meat sliders. Both were underwhelming and not great (from a seasoning side). Sat in the porch section. It was very invite and relaxed. Fireplace was nice and the ambiance was just right. Our server was amazing. He was friendly, kind and took care of me when I mentioned the chip issue. Overall, plenty of better places in the area that have food worth eating. Potential is there, but I won't be back anytime soon.

    I'm not sure that I've ever had a bad experience at Spirit Elephant. The handcrafted cocktails and…read moremocktails are always refreshing and flavorful and the presentation of the drinks, as well as the food is always photo-worthy. I always look forward to the seasonal rotation of menu items, as I know the ingredients will be fresh and in season, and I love looking forward to new dishes. I absolutely adore Spirit Elephant and have loved making this my go-to spot in Winnetka. I have had Meet Up events, girls brunches and date nights here, and always enjoy the experience. I've honestly been here more times than I can count. My omnivore friends are always pleasantly surprised once they've been officially introduced to the magic of Spirit Elephant. I've loved watching all of the small changes over the years, and have appreciated that the quality of the food and handcrafted cocktails has never changed. I have raved of the patio in the past, but they've since done two major upgrades, and I love spending weekend afternoons with a group of friends during the warmer months on their patio even more. The staff is phenomenal, and I appreciate that I always know my server will have an excellent recommendation whenever I stop in (I mean, you truly cannot go wrong with anything that you order).

    Always a treat! Finally made it to happy hour just tinder the wire. We tried the bao buns and poke…read morenachos - both were amazing. The tofu in the bao buns was so crispy and delicious that my carnivore friend said tasted just like pork belly. Having never had pork belly, I was happy that to me it tasted like tofu since I love tofu. The poke nachos were a bit spicy for me but flavorful and delicious. Again, my friend thought it really tasted like tuna. My friend wanted to split the steak which I thought wasn't their strongest dish because it tasted more processed and not like lovely tofu nor like meat. But for those who enjoy vegan steaks, it was quite flavorful and moist. The potatoes were so fluffy and crispy. But not my fav of their dishes. As always the manager, Jordan, comes by and makes us feel like VIPs, laughing and treating us like old friends. And the whole team works together smoothly. Being surrounded by plants with perfect warm lighting makes the ambiance just as wonderful as the food itself.
