Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Bannockburn

We came up to Eddie Merlot’s last night to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my beautiful wife. Sat at the bar and had a wonderful evening with Sue & Antonio.  Eddie Merlots was as busy as I’ve ever seen it and yet the food came out on time and the service was fantastic! Sue & Antonio they never let you see them sweat!! Tim The general manager, stopped by just to make sure that our evening was meeting the standards. The hostess handed my wife, a beautiful rose, which she loved and cherished. Such a nice touch on Eddie Merlot’s part. I’m telling you you won’t go wrong if you go to Eddie Merlot’s and ask for Sue & Antonio. 

Amazing food and vibe. First time, on Valentine’s Day. Staff was pretty busy but the staff handled it well. Kitchen, waiters, bussers all on point. 8oz filet cooked perfectly with flavorful garlic crust, my lady had the skirt steak which was equally flavorful! Wanted the tiramisu but they sold out, will be back! Owners and their friends made us feel like family!

This is a real gem. It's the warmest, kindest gift of a restaurant in Highland Park. If you like looking around and feeling like you're in a charming little hamlet a little off the beaten tourist track in Europe, you'll love Cafe Dacha. Bravo!

Great experience! Amazing food! The server checked in on us often. Will recommend and come back.
