Seating is tight, and…read morelimited, but my friend and I were able to find a spot for brunch at 10am on a Monday over winter break. The price tracks with other cafes in the area, with my total being $22 (plus tip) for a sandwich and a smoothie. The sandwich itself was delicious. I love anything pickled, so the addition of peperoncini and picked onions hit the spot. The smoothie, honestly, didn't have much flavor ... it was like sipping on green ice. Not worth the price, in my opinion. They offer 21+ beverage options, and the presentation of their lattes and coffees are on point. I'd definitely visit again, as the staff was nice, the atmosphere is cozy, and the sandwich was good, but perhaps I'll be making a different choice in drinks.

BEST BUTCHER SHOP AROUND -- HANDS DOWN!…read more Dorfler's Meats has been my go-to butcher shop for the past few years, and honestly, I can't imagine shopping anywhere else. From the moment you walk in, the owners and staff treat you like family -- not just customers. It's beyond refreshing to go to a meat shop that truly does it right, from start to finish. The quality is unmatched. I happily travel well out of my way just to stock up on their incredibly fresh meats, top-tier seafood, and the ready-made, home-cooked meals that make weeknights (and weekends) so much better. And let's not forget the deli counter -- WOW. The sandwiches are next-level delicious, and the homemade salads are always fresh, flavorful, and addictive. If you're shopping for the holidays, Dorfler's is an absolute must. Their Prime Tenderloin roasts are unreal -- exceptional quality, fair pricing, and you can truly tell how much care and craftsmanship goes on behind the scenes. It's the kind of place where excellence isn't an accident -- it's the standard. The staff is nothing but helpful, friendly, and genuinely kind. From outstanding customer service at the counter to unforgettable meals at my family's table, we have nothing but positive things to say about Dorfler's Meats. Thank you to everyone at Dorfler's for all you do to stay open, keep raising the bar, and continue showcasing exciting, seasonal products that we look forward to all year long. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out -- HIGHLY recommend!

The owner, Anthony, was very friendly and as we sat and chatted, he made a cheese pizza for us to sample. We aren't from the area, but it will definitely be a place we go again when we are nearby. I can see why they had such great reviews! Highly recommended! Don't let the location in the little strip mall fool you, it's a little gem!

When you walk in, there's a case for pastries and coffees, and you walk straight for all the entrees. You order first, and they'll bring the food out to you. We couldn't decide between a few things before we ended up with the osso Buco and the nonna's lasagna. The osso buco was delish, it did take a little while to come out but the flavors were great. The risotto was a tad underdone, but again the flavors were SO good. The lasagna needed something for a little crunch, but overall the flavors were fine. We also were recommended the garlic bread, I didn't really taste the garlic, and the Gorgonzola was a bit over powering for the pieces of toast but a great app to share. We tried a few different Italian drinks, I wanted to try the peach tea but they were sold out. Next time! We wrapped up our meal we got some gelato. We did a mix of half raspberry and half vanilla. That vanilla gelato was so good I'm still thinking about it. Overall we had a great time, parking was easy, staff was great, and food was good.

The crust was on point, the cheese was just right, and there wasn't too much sauce. I wouldn't complain about a few extra pepperonis, but overall it was still a fresh, flavorful pie. Detroit-style is always a win for me, so that was a big plus. I ordered takeout, so I didn't experience much service, but I'll definitely be coming back to dine in sometime soon.

On this occasion, I went with my mother for lunch. We got a table next to the windows looking toward the lake. We started with a hot cocoa. It came with whipped cream and was spiced. This was a nice touch that told me that they pay attention to details. I had the soup and salad combo with the club sandwich and chili. The sandwich and chili were good but I thought it was overpriced ($16) for the amount of food that we were served. Our server was nice and checked on us frequently. I recommend Joanie's Pizzeria of Long Grove.

The first tricky part is finding the entrance because it's not really obvious as expected in long grove There's no real signs. Further, the next tricky piece is finding parking if you can get it on the street or find it in the lot now luckily both are free. Once I managed to find a door to the place, it turned out to be the back door and so I had to climb up a bunch of stairs in order to get to the front part of the restaurant to actually check in for the reservation. And yes, please make a reservation. This place does get packed even for early times. The service was really friendly and very nice however, I will say overall the food was OK but nothing really standoffish. For example, if you look at the pictures of the food quite bluntly it just looks like they slapped food onto a plate. There's really no thought that's been put into the presentation. There's really been no thought also to just the pure amounts of cheese and sauce that are also creating a swimming pool on the plate. We ordered the grilled octopus for appetizer and even that was swimming in olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette and too much of everything I think the food is OK but nothing fantastic. Considering the overly saturated Chicagoland market of Italian restaurants I wouldn't necessarily say this was at the top of my list.

We tried the truffle fries, hummus, and some other finger foods that I can't recall, though everything was delicious.
