Best Date Night Restaurants in Lake Bluff

Our family gathered here for a holiday happy hour with my best friend’s family. For a large group of 9 people, the staff was attentive and orders taken swiftly. The drinks were fun and the hot dishes delish!

Excellent experience every time we go. Chopped salad is always a great go to (as are mussels). Had the lasagnatonight which was excellent. Small restaurant - nice local option with a varied menu

The enchiladas with mole sauce is my favorite! The black beans and rice side is delicious too.

First time visiting Coppolillo's Italian Steakhouse. There was a little confusion as too who was actually our server. Apparently our servers family was in in the restaurant so he was doing more visiting than serving. After 5-6 minutes of sitting at our table one of the bartenders asked if we had been helped yet. I shared we haven't and he was the one who told us that our servers family was there. After that the service was great. Drinks were great. Got the mussels and they were amazing. We both got dinners of the specials list for Christmas night. Both were really good. Mine was exceptional. We have been to similar steak restaurant's around the country. I would say the value here was one of the best. I would defiantly go back. I'm not going to hold the small service glitch against them, but I do always try to share the exact experience.

The atmosphere is very pleasant at the Oaken Bistro and Bar. Service was excellent and the food was great. We had the wild mushroom and sausage penne, salmon and chioggia beet salad.
