Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Highland Park

Our food was awesome and Ryan our server did a great job.

My husband had the squid ink pasta special and I had a burger and fries. We had a cocktail as well. Everything was great and our server was as well. 

Initial inspection was pleasant. When you enter the restaurant, you'll see it's well appointed with mostly natural materials (namely stone walls, funky glass vases, and a very pretty open kitchen). The service was attentive, but not overbearing. The only low was the filet tenderloin. While the sauce was delicious, and the visual was amazing, the meat itself didn't quite make the mark. Otherwise, the appetizers and desert were all amazing and performed. In the end, I would highly recommend this as a great fine-ish (not quite casual, not quite fine dining) dining experience.

We did the Valentines Day Northern Starlight Express. So much fun. Loved every minute of it.

We absolutely loved the Vegan Valentine's Dinner at the Howe. The food was delicious and the drinks were yummy and well-suited to the pairings. The range and amount were great, and the service was outstanding. We love to go to the Howe because they understand vegans and have great options for us. Our only concerns on this night was the cost -- which I guess couldn't be helped because of the amount of food and drink, etc. and also the room was very cold. Luckily we were near the fireplace. All in all it was a wonderful experience.
