Best Authentic Restaurants in Highland Park

Since we went on valentines day it was a set menu. The food itself was great and now I want to go back to try the regular menu. We stayed at the hotel (hewing) also so we went back for breakfast and that was amazing!

We had Javen for the second time as our server. Can't say how lucky we were. He is outstanding in everyway. We will make sure we request him on our next visit. Great service and great food. We asked to speak to the manager to inform her that Javen goes above and beyond satisfy guest. Thank you the Jackson's

Beautiful space. Delicious food and drinks. Dont be fooled by bad cutlery! Despite struggling to cut my steak, it was a tender, melt in your mouth filet. Perfectly cooked. Waiter (Cole?) was very prompt and friendly. I appreciated him being present when needed but not overly hovering so we could talk on our rare date night out of the house. Appetizers and entree portions were appropriate for the price. Food and drinks came to the table quickly despite it being Valentine’s Day - I would usually expect slower times due to busier day. Reservations worked perfectly, walked in the door and brought immediately to our table. Had asked for a booth in our reservation if possible and we got seated in a booth. Hostesses were all very nice. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother, more pleasant experience. As a working mom who rarely gets to get out of the house for fun, or out on a date night - I couldn’t have been happier.

In the last half of a decade, on average, I’ve gone out to eat about once a day, 365 days a year. I cannot understate how amazing Boketto was. Food was exceptional, ambiance and aesthetic were unmatched. The real game changer? Our server, Katie E. She was the most kind, well mannered, and social server I have had anywhere across the entire country in the last 2+ years. If you book a rez at Boketto, ask to be seated in Katie’s section if she’s available. You couldn’t ask for a better evening.

If you want a healthier Chinese food, this is it! My favorite is General Tso's chicken. Beautiful restaurant, not noisy like some places. A little more costly than your average Chinese restaurant, but much tastier.
