Best Fun Restaurants in Highland Park

Celebrated Galentine’s with a few of my friends. Had the queso, loaded fries, and guacamole to share as appetizers. All great in flavor! Tried the Marioposa burrito and it was fantastic! Had the Cupid’s arrow valentine drink special and it was fantastic! Viva La Vida knows how to celebrate! Definitely a fun upbeat Mexican restaurant!

We were seated 30 minutes after our reservation time, but it allowed us time to experience the great bar, drink selections and “top shelf” bartenders-particularly Bradley Zimmerman (lead bartender)- who made us Benton old fashions, spicy margaritas and Fallen Apple martinis. All were outstanding! Dinner was amazing, in part due to our very personable and fantastic waitress Kendall. Can’t say enough of this young lady. Very attentive although it was busy. She was knowledgeable and helpful in guiding us to our delicious selections- crab cakes, Caesar salads, Filet Thermidor and Chicken Rosé. Kudos to the kitchen! Mad props to this staff who made this Valentine Day experience one of the best ever! We will be back AND bringing friends every chance we get.

We've consistently come to Senti because it is always good and still continues to impress. My wife and I had an excellent four course meal this time to celebrate valentines day and every course was great. The server was friendly and informative. He timed everything out perfectly. The steak was one of the best steaks I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Seriously excellent.

We dined here before a PPT performance. The service was prompt, courteous, and engaging. Everything we ordered was well prepared. I ordered the Branzino which is a mild fish and it was prepared simply with butter and lemon. Nothing overwhelming to hide the fish's flavor. My only complaint which is minor was the broccolini was a bit over cooked. All in all a great meal and a good value.

We went for my daughter's birthday tonight and everything and everyone was amazing. She only turned 24, but they brought out a piece of cake for her and a card signed by everyone. Our server was so friendly and personable. The food and atmosphere was lovely. Wonderful wonderful wonderful!
