Best Date Night Restaurants in Highland Park

We had a few snags being seated. The restaurant has a large draft area and when we asked to be moved to another two top that was empty we were told no as it was reserved. Except so was our table. The dinners were after us that took the table. We were offered a communal table seat by the manager but the host - he would not budge and honestly had an attitude all night even when we thanked him and said good night. We pushed the seating aside and dug into the menu with our waiter who was super attentive. Explained all the dishes. Made excellent recommendations and spaced everything out perfectly. He made sure we knew dishes were to be shared which we usually like to do anyway but made this made our choices even better. Let me just say start with the dates- you will be drinking the butter they are in! We added chicory with bacon vinaigrette which was a warm tasty bite of goodness. One of my favorites was the seasonal squash with farmers cheese. I can’t wait to eat the left overs! Then the main mushroom crusted pork chop. It’s literally one of the largest chops I have seen. So delicious. Get yourself some cheddar potatoes to round out your meal! We came with enough packages it looked santa had come early! The staff is supper attentive and continually acknowledged our anniversary which was so wonderful. The manager went above and beyond to assist. Everyone there seems to help each other and it creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes us want to dine again. Make sure you get a reservation as we are already looking at booking our next one.

This slice of the past is most welcome particularly around the holidays, with it' festive lights, and warm and inviting atmosphere; they even have an old fashioned fireplace while you wait to be seated. And the food can't be beat with familiar fare and attentive and expert service. It's a yearly tradition for us during the holidays and we hope it never ends!

Our server Amir was wonderful, the food was amazing, and the restaurant itself looked super awesome. I especially loved the chicken tacos and the caesar salad. We were very impressed and will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you so much!

Such a nice brunch! We were seated out by the fireplace and it was perfect. Food was great, service was great, ambiance - so festive! Highlight of the season.

Very nice restaurant. We got lucky and were placed right next to the live latin jazz band. We got the view of LA, the sound of the band and the waiters were friendly. Food was also delicious. A very great night spent, celebrating my birthday there. I would recommend for a special event/date night.
