Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Northfield

Great locally sourced food. Healthy choices. Love their salads. Great burger. My favorite restaurant in the north suburbs. Attentive service.

We had a 6:30pm reservation, and we arrived early. We were seated promptly upon arrival. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, but our server came to our table very soon after we were seated… I had commented on the last time we dined at the restaurant, and the service today was by far more superior and attentive (note, the owner of Bluestone offered us a gift coupon for the lack of service attentiveness last time, which we appreciated). The server came to the table numerous times to ask for our drink and food choices, and the delivery was quick once we ordered. The smoked chicken wings were delicious. I had the brown rice bowl with the salmon which was delicious, and everyone else’s meals were prepared nicely and were very tasty. All in all, a nice experience this evening.

We had an excellent late lunch before going to the theater next door. Our waiter was very professional: courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive. Our bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizer was exceptional and our entrees (chicken marsala and the fish special) were delicious. My wife is strictly gluten free and was accommodated perfectly.

I've been to 501 before and have never been disappointed. The food was terrific. The waitstaff is great. We were seated at a table that was off to the side so it was quiet and my friends and I could catch up with ease. Highly recommend 501!

Fish tacos and chicken salad excellent along with a bean soup. Shared these great pairings. Pretty here always and perfect place to talk. Noise level low.
