Restaurants near Heritage Inn

It was a wonderful time! The crab legs were outstanding, our server was most efficient & pleasant, what a great Santa Clause, he was dressed so well & his white beard was real & he walked around & talked to everyone, I even got a picture! I think we will back at this time every year, make it our holiday tradition!!

As soon as we entered, staff was so friendly and welcoming. We went to celebrate our 10th year wedding anniversary. Food was exceptional. Our waiter was fantastic. We enjoyed it so much. Definitely recommend.

Atmosphere of Lakelawn Resort is amazing, but the food was subpar. High price for very small amount of food. $34 for a small piece of salmon with 8 small spinach leaves around it with some pecans. I was still hungry and ordered a side of fries. This is my 3rd time trying this restaurant since it became 1878 and have been disappointed for my last time. Needs a better chef & better menu options.

The crafted Italiana has an excellent fish fry. The drinks at the bar were well made. I had an espresso martini that was excellent then we went to the Christmas pop-up bar in the drinks. There were amazing and so was the decor and service highly recommend five stars.

This was a girls night out to celebrate a birthday and the holidays. My favorite thing about Ema - aside from how delicious and creative the food is - is that the portion sizes are big enough to share, but not so huge that you feel guilty ordering multiple dishes. There were six of us and we ordered a variety of cocktails (which were beautifully presented) followed by several dishes from all sections of the menu. We started with the classic hummus and the toasted almond & garlic spread. The hummus was predictably delicious, but the real standout was the toasted almond garlic spread. It was crunchy and nutty and had lots of flavor. We next had the chopped salad and the big eye tuna with Honeycrisp apple and pomegranate seeds. The chopped salad had a pleasantly surprising bit of spice to it, which we all enjoyed but….the tuna preparation was stellar and is a relatively new add to the menu. Ema’s previous tuna dish – from October – included watermelon, but this dish was truly spectacular! The bright pop of color and tartness in the pomegranate, paired with the tuna and diced apple, along with the mint… Made it look like Christmas on a plate. SK SO good!! We then had falafel, brussels sprouts and brown butter dates. The falafel is crunchy and flavorful, and served with a beet-laced tzatziki. The brussels sprouts were prepared with shallots and pumpkin seeds and a subtle hint of sticky sweetness. The dates were fine, but nobody was raving about them like we did the other dishes. We finished our meal with the harissa crusted halibut, and the cauliflower kebab. Both were excellent, although my personal favorite was the halibut. It is served on a bed of mushrooms, in a Dashi broth with a spicy crust on top. The fish was tender and flaky and full of flavor. Service (Morgan) was attentive but not annoying; ambience is chic and classy but comfortable. You would never know you are in a parking lot in Glenview as opposed to a terrace in the Mediterranean.
