Restaurants near Silver Spring Park

Very pleasant experience with Sunday brunch—service was excellent and the views of Lake Michigan were outstanding. While the brunch menu is somewhat limited, the offerings were well prepared. This was our first experience with the brunch and I wish we had been forewarned about the special menu—thought that I had done due diligence re the menu on Open Table, but it was very different. I do recommend this restaurant.

Another outstanding experience at Birch, like some of the changes to the menu. Had the hamburger for the first time, and it won't be the last - one of the best around. Hard to believe that with such fine food, they also know how to do fun bar food!

We traveled in from Columbus, Ohio to see family. We enjoyed our visit very much. The food was delicious. The ambiance was great. Only complaint was our waiter. He acted annoyed by me asking questions about the food (I have a gluten-related medical condition and my daughter has special needs). Our server moved on to take my brother-in-law’s order and commented to him “alright, good, that was simple” as if my questions were an inconvenience.

Jack Pandl’s is a classic and I’m so happy it’s still around! The atmosphere is quite lovely and the place is super charming. The wait staff was very attentive, was well-versed in the menu and could make recommendations, and very pleasant. Food was good and portions were large enough that three out of four diners had leftovers. We treated ourselves to dessert, including the strawberry schaum torte, chocolate mousse pie, and apple strudel. The chocolate mousse was the best and I highly recommend. The others were good, but the mousse stood out. I thought the prices were reasonable for what we ordered and look forward to going back soon. 

The service and food were great, will definitely go back.
