Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Glenview

We had a wonderful holiday dinner. The staff made us feel so welcome. The cocktails, wine and dinner were all outstanding. The steak frites are a family favorite! Probably my favorite restaurant on the Northshore!

We had a wonderful Day After Christmas dinner at the CG. It was a little less busy than usual, but the staff was wonderful and the food was excellent as usual. The restaurant is a little formal looking when you enter, but the feeling is warm and comfortable. Great place for a couple or a family - as in this case for us.

The various meats here are outstanding. Today (Christmas) they seemed to be serving more steak than usual, which is always a wonderful thing! The sausage and pork were also delicious. The complimentary "shots" they were passing out were good, too. (They were actually small versions of several of their cocktails, including a couple kinds of Margaritas.) We've learned to not fill up on the salad bar, but instead to enjoy all the meats. This helps us feel we're getting better value for our meal. We've been to this location twice now, and each time have come away extremely satisfied.

Lovely Christmas Eve dinner!! Wedge salad and short ribs superb. Staff went out of their way to A.) accommodate our infirmed elderly guests B.) correct a dish that we had misordered. Thank you Carmines!!

The food is always great at Avli. It was very busy and the noise levels were quite high but bearable. Maybe they could play some music to drown out some of the chatter. We had the hummus and eggplant spread. Both were great. Big portions. We also had the mini chicken skewers which were delicious, and the meatballs. They were quite good although the tomato sauce on top was quite tart and tasted a bit like tomato paste. My husband liked it more than me. For dessert we had the orange pie which is actually orange cake. It is delicious. We also tried the cheesecake and chocolate filo sampler. Both were very good. We love Juan who has been our server in the past. Very attentive and friendly.
