Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Riverwoods

Excellent casual weeknight dinner experience! Cocktails were creative and outstanding with an Enormous selection of bourbons and single malt scotch. We had salads and burgers, both of which were terrific. Our server, Sean was extremely attentive and available without being intrusive. The owner, Jen was working as the bartender as well as intermittently mingling with patrons and overseeing the busy take out section.

Been there twice since it opened about a month ago. Met the owners, husband and wife, both are very nice. Food is very good. Same chef as its predecessor Next Door Bistro. Several of the same servers and bartender as well. Service is a little uneven/slow (waited 10 -15 minutes for drinks, and another 10-15 for entre after salad course). Prices are fair but about 20% higher than it used to be at Next Door. Overall very enjoyable and I know they are working hard to address the service issues.

We love this restaurant! The service was good at the beginning but then got a slower over the course of time. Some food and drinks were cleared before we were done with them, we weren't asked if it was okay to clear them. Then, we had to seek the waitress out for our bill. She was very kind and helped separate the checks which was wonderful. It can be loud in this restaurant, so just be aware of that. None of this will hinder us from coming back, we love the food and drink here!

Sat outside. Beautiful, good food, great service, great ambiance.
