Best Casual Restaurants in Evanston

Met a couple of friends here and we had a great time. The food was delicious and the staff was very helpful. I have to come back and try a Catalan martini!

Our first time even though they’ve been open for a year and we’re locals. Went for Thanksgiving buffet. Reservations were actually too early for the buffet, but the hosts were so nice they sat us and gave us brunch drinks until the buffet was available. Such nice people working there. The Thanksgiving buffet was delicious!

Cozy neighborhood place to eat in Evanston. Upscale American cuisine.

Fantastic sushi. Service was great as well, with waitstaff coming by to check on us frequently. The nigiri were well done, and the rolls were very consistent and aesthetic. They of course tasted good as well, and the spicy rolls really do have a kick. The only issue is that I had booked this through open table and it only lets you do an "experience" that you must pre-pay for. I thought it was for the hibachi but it turns out it is for the all you can eat sushi. The staff had trouble verifying the prepaid amount so they had to write down my credit card number to compare it to their open table reservations. This seems to be more a technical thing. It might be better to just have reservations and bill at the end as usual.

We loved our celebratory dinner here. The food was wonderful, plentiful, and beautiful presented.
